An investigation reveals the Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall earn millions from public contracts.

A Channel 4 Dispatches and Sunday Times investigation found that the Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall, owned by King Charles III and Prince William, earn millions from contracts with public bodies like the NHS and armed forces. Key deals include a £11.4 million contract for ambulance storage and over £1 million charged to the navy for jetties. Both estates are exempt from certain taxes and contribute significantly to the royals' private incomes, which exceed £50 million annually.
