Prince William, who is quite vocal about bringing about changes in his reign, has begun taking significant steps even before ascending the throne.
The Prince of Wales, who inherited the duchy of Cornwall from King Charles after assuming the crown, plans to sell around 20% of his estate.
according to The timesWilliam has decided to reinvest the money in projects related to housing and nature.
In the next 10 years, the future monarch could sell a fifth of the land to generate a positive impact with significant initiatives, not only beneficial for him and his family but also for the public.
For the uninitiated, it has been reported that the income generated by the property supports the official duties, private and charitable work of Prince William and the Welsh.
Will Bax, chief executive of the duchy, revealed that Prince William has a vision to “unlock between 10,000 and 12,000 homes by 2040.”
This work is said to take place in the Isles of Scilly, Cornwall, Dartmoor, the Bath area, Kennington and south London.
With this decision, the Prince of Wales aims to support local communities and the environmental issues he is passionate about.
Bax said, “If we don’t see an opportunity to make a positive impact, then maybe we don’t need to be a part of that place.”
“But where there is a social need and an environmental challenge and where there is an opportunity to enable change, then we will be a great partner working with people to achieve it,” the William team member added.
Prince William is setting unique examples for the royal family by breaking away from plans made by former royals, including his father, King Charles.
