The first cousin of Queen Elizabeth is worth more than Princess Kate, Prince Edward and Princess Anne combined despite being 52nd in line to the throne.
Prince Michael of Kent has an estimated net worth of £32million according to Yahoo Finance and is currently living in one of the apartments at Kensington Palace.
The 82-year-old is the son of Prince George and Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark, and has funded public working engagements for the charity sector from his own household, with the prince being involved in around 100 charities and organisations.
The prince, who was educated at Eton, is also the first member of the Royal Family to learn Russian, and is a qualified interpreter.
He went to Sandhurst after Eton and went on to serve in the military for 20 years.
The prince’s bloodline also extends to the Romanovs, the last imperial family of Russia.
His grandmother was first cousin to Nicholas II, making Michael a first cousin twice removed of the last Russian tsar.
When he married the German divorcée, Baroness Marie Christine von Reibnitz, known today as the Princess Michael of Kent, he was forced to give up his place in the line of succession, however this was later reinstated.
The couple then went on to have two children, Oxford-educated banker Lord Frederick Windsor and their daughter Lady Gabriella Kingston, who was married to the late Thomas Kingston.
The couple live on the grounds of Kensington Palace and live a relatively private life.
They have been seen a handful of times over the last few years, including at the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth II and at the King’s Coronation last year.
