The Duke of Cornwall

The Duke of Cornwall is a ceremonial title traditionally held by the eldest son of the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom. It is associated with the Duchy of Cornwall, a private estate established in 1337, which generates income used to fund the prince’s public and charitable activities. The title and estate support the heir apparent, currently Prince William, ensuring he has resources for his duties. The Duke of Cornwall often performs official duties, representing the monarchy at events and supporting regional initiatives, serving as a key figure within the royal family’s structure.
