    I would love to have one! I tried to figure out how to win one with the KFC app, but even that seems to be just for UK.

    He is creative in finding ways to make money to be self sufficient, so the populace doesn't rise up with torches and pitchforks. :)


    Prince Charles and his clan

    Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, known formally as The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, rely on a a mix of public and private money.

    Over 90% of their income comes from a private estate, the Duchy of Cornwall, which was established in 1337 to provide an income to the heir to the throne. The Duchy of Cornwall owns and operates land in rural and urban areas, a collection of islands and rental cottages in places like Wales and Cornwall.

    In the most recent financial year, the couple made £20.7 million ($28 million) from the estate.

    The couple also received £1.3 million ($1.8 million) from the Queen's Sovereign Grant and another £461,000 ($627,000) from various UK government departments.

    The Sovereign Grant is used to pay the couple's official travel and property expenses. The government cash goes toward some official overseas trips and the salaries of members of the military who protect the family.

    Roughly half of their annual income is spent on official duties and travel, while a quarter goes to the tax man. The remaining £6.6 million ($8.9 million) goes to Charles' children, "non-official" purchases and a royal savings account.

    When Markle officially joins the clan, Prince Charles has the discretion to give the couple more money.

    Prince William, Kate and Prince Harry are also reimbursed for costs when they perform official duties on behalf of the Queen.

    Prince William and Prince Harry have private, inherited wealth from their mother, Princess Diana.

    The rest of the family

    There is limited public information about how the rest of the royal family make their money. The Queen has three other children aside from Prince Charles, and they too have children, spouses and grandchildren.

    The Queen's two youngest children, Andrew, the Duke of York, and Edward, the Earl of Wessex, work full-time to support the monarchy, which involves appearing at public engagements on behalf of their mother.

    The Queen pays her children for these duties through her income from the Sovereign Grant and Duchy of Lancaster.

    The next generation of royals is expected to forge their own careers and required to be more independent. For example, Andrew's daughters -- Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie -- have full time jobs in the business and art worlds, respectively. But they also receive some financial support from their father.

    Another sweepstakes:

    Ooops. Try googling for Royal Diamond Teacup. I tried to bring the link over, but I already entered, and it is showing the results of the quiz (which member of the Royal Family Are You?) that you take before it lets you get to the entry page. The prize is a teacup with gold detailing and a diamond in the handle.

    [​IMG]

    Or you could win tea and shortbread cookies. Also good. :)

    Grand Prize is one teacup with a one-carat diamond mounted on the handle, valued at $4,600.

    Ten winners will receive one box of Tetley British Blend Tea, one box of shortbread cookies, and one teacup, total value of $24.98.

    This prize looks adorable. I think I entered, but I don't really understand Twitter. I think it says 15,000 people have retweeted, so that would be the odds of winning. Good luck.

    A jeweled bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch, valued at approximately $35,000 and a check for $15,000 that may be used to assist with tax liability associated with acceptance of this prize. Total Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”): $50,000.

    During the Promotion Period, take the following actions to receive an entry:

    (1) Follow @HVRanch on Twitter;
    (2) Retweet Sponsor’s Tweet that includes the hashtag #NationalRanchDay and the link to these Official Rules: http://bit.ly/NationalRanchDay; and
    (3) You need not include any additional content with your Retweet.

    Yes, so am I, but it was officially announced, so it's true.

    "
    WINDSOR, England – Kensington Palace announced on Friday morning that Meghan Markle will be walked down the aisle by Prince Charles after the American actress said in a statement on Thursday her father would not be attending her wedding.

    "Ms. Meghan Markle has asked His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales to accompany her down the aisle of the Quire of St George's Chapel on her Wedding Day. The Prince of Wales is pleased to be able to welcome Ms. Markle to The Royal Family in this way," Kensington Palace stated.

    Prince Charles, 69, previously had no formal role at the wedding, and many speculated he would step in to walk Markle down the aisle after her father had heart surgery following a series of public scandals. Charles is Harry's father. "

    I just read that Meghan is supposed to walk halfway by herself and then Prince Charles will be waiting to walk the rest of the way with her. This was also the plan with her father.
