It’s not exactly a secret that many of the royal families of Europe are well off. But have you ever wondered where they get that wealth or how much they get at all?

Ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the British royal family, many conversations have circled around their wealth.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had received an allowance from the Duchy of Cornwall, via Prince Charles, since leaving the family in April. Now though, the couple have paid off their debts and signed a huge streaming deal with Netflix.

It was also recently revealed just how much of an allowance The Netherlands‘ crown princess Catharina-Amalia would be earning this year.

The still 17-year-old Princess of Orange is set to receive 111,000 euros (the equivalent of about $130,000) in 2021. The allowance will go to pay for her income, operations and personnel expenses.

In 2022, that allowance amount will increase to 1.5 million euros, when she will also be the Advisory Division of the Council of State of the Netherlands.

Catharina-Amalia is only the fourth person to receive state funds, joining her father, King Willem-Alexander, mom Queen Máxima and grandmother, Princess Beatrix.

Sweden’s Royal family is reportedly the focus of a new series just like Netflix’s The Crown.

The Scandinavian country’s TV4 and streaming service C More are currently developing a series based on King Carl XVI Gustaf‘s life and rise to the throne.

He was just 27 when he became sovereign in 1973.

“I’ve personally never been a fan of monarchy, but I remember reading the treatment of six or seven pages while I was on a flight. As I was reading those pages, I started crying because it was so strong,” Josefine Tengblad, the head of drama at TV4 and C More shared about the series in development to Variety. “It’s a little bit like The King’s Speech in the way that it portrays someone who is being groomed to become someone he’s not, and is having people trying to change him.”

Åsa Lantz will co-write the show and has been researching the King for several years to prepare for it.

“Other kings and queens are said to have had an impact on world events. The history of our King is something different. Not as highlighted internationally but at least as dramatic and fascinating,” she says. “And for many of us, completely unknown.”

According to reports, the royal family have been informed about the project.

“As we understand it, it is planned as a drama documentary,” The Royal Court told newspaper Dagens Nyheter. “When it comes to documentaries, it is important that they are as close to the truth as possible, and that the facts are presented correctly. As for the dramatized part of the series, it is of course based on artistic freedom, something we have no control over.”

King Carl XVI Gustaf is married to Queen Silvia, and they have three children: Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Madeleine.

Victoria will reign after the King, and she’ll be followed by her own daughter, Princess Estelle, who is eight.

The Swedish Royal Family is expanding, too. See which member is expecting another child here…

Princess Victoria was having a twinning moment with her daughter, Princess Estelle, at the dedication event for the Guldbron on Sunday afternoon (October 25) in Stolkholm, Sweden.

The mother and daughter duo, who will both one day rule the country as Queens, joined King Carl Gustaf for the event, and all three were on hand to cut the official ribbon to open the walking and traffic bridge.

The “Golden Bridge” connects the Old Town of Stockholm with Södermalm.

Only a few guests attended the inauguration event, and a group of young children followed the royal family across the bridge during it.

This is a rare occasion for Estelle, 8, who broke her leg earlier in the year, just before the coronavirus pandemic took over. See what happened here…

FYI: Victoria wore a Max Mara coat.
