I sh*gged Kate Middleton.
Well, I'm sure I COULD have done - if I had been 25 years younger, gone to St. Andrews University, shared a flat with her, and been a Prince.
Well yes but her sister was much more earthy

I was born first, bald first, and in the military first. He's just a sad Drago wannabe.
I’m white and fairly posh sounding I’m told
Clearly there is difference between income paid directly through the sovereign grant, and income paid as a result of the commercial activities of the Duchy of Cornwall. But as the Duchy of Cornwall seems to have more of the characteristics of a state asset allocated for the benefit of the royals, rather than a private resource of the Windsor family, I'm with @User in thinking that the difference may not be that important in terms of the issue in question (whether Wills is supported by the state).Despite the sarky comments from some, yes there is a difference.
The Duchy of Cornwall is effectively a trust administered for the benefit of the Prince of Wales and his family. Tax is paid on that Trust income even though it has a tax exemption. The Queen also pays income tax on the income not allocated to official duties from the Duchy of Lancaster.
Prince Philip's annuity is the only Royal income that comes solely from taxpayers. The Civil List (or strictly speaking it's now the Sovereign Grant) comes from the Treasury but is linked directly to Government income from the Crown Estate.

He will spend his lifetime working with no chance of retirement.I live off the state and don't work.
The difference is that I had to spend a lifetime working before that happened.
He, like the rest of his extended family will spend his life not working and living of the rest of us.He will spend his lifetime working with no chance of retirement.
