Kate Middleton was actually loaded before she married Prince William… here’s her HUGE net worth

In fact, the 36-year-old was pretty wealthy – but how much is Kate actually worth now?

Much of Kate's wealth comes from her parents – Carole and Michael Middleton – who started their business, Party Pieces, while Carole was pregnant with Kate in 1981.

It's now said to be worth around £30 million.

And while the Middleton fortune isn't quite up there with the Royal Family's (according to Time, they're said to be work £88 billion), it's still a hefty sum.

In fact, Kate, sister Pippa and brother James all went to expensive private schools – which in Kate's case was Marlborough College in Wiltshire, which now costs almost £38,000 per year.

Before moving into Kensington Palace with Prince William, 36, Kate resided in a flat in Chelsea, reportedly worth £1.2m.

Her parents are said to have bought her the luxurious apartment.

Of course, The Duchess' wealth and influence has increased significantly over the last seven years, and according to Time, it's believed Kate's net worth now stands at at least £5 million.

Prince William however, is significantly wealthier, and is said to be worth around £30 million.
