Even before joining the British royal family, Queen Camilla had amassed considerable wealth of her own.
Queen Camilla, who was recently crowned alongside her husband, King Charles III, in a historic ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London, has an estimated net worth of $5 million, as reported by Celebrity Net Worth.
This figure is separate from King Charles' personal fortune, which according to a Guardian analysis, soared to $2.2 billion after he ascended the throne following Queen Elizabeth II's passing last year.
While the specific details of her wealth accumulation remain uncertain, the 75-year-old royal, who wed Charles in 2005, previously inherited £500,000 ($630,000) from one of her grandparents, as stated by the UK's Independent.
Camilla is the eldest child of Major Bruce Shand, a successful businessman, and his wife, Rosalind Cubitt, whose family members were British aristocrats known for amassing considerable wealth through the development of London's affluent Belgravia district.

Before becoming Queen Camilla, she was married to Andrew Parker-Bowles, with whom she has two children, Tom Parker Bowles (48) and Laura Lopes (45). The couple divorced in 1995, following King Charles' public revelation of his affair with Camilla during his marriage to Princess Diana.
The terms of Camilla's divorce settlement remain undisclosed.
Queen Camilla owns an estate called Ray Mill in Wiltshire, England, which she purchased for £850,000 ($1.07 million) after her divorce from Parker-Bowles. She retained the property after marrying Charles, using it as a retreat from royal life, according to an unnamed source in The Telegraph.
Upon marrying Charles, Camilla assumed the title of Duchess of Cornwall and ranked as the second highest-ranking woman in the British order of precedence, preceded only by Queen Elizabeth II.
Before ascending the throne, the couple's income was primarily derived from a private estate called the Duchy of Cornwall, with additional funding from the Queen's Sovereign Grant and various UK government departments, as reported by CNN.
As a working royal, Camilla serves as the royal patron for numerous charities and organizations, such as Animal Care Trust, The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, the British Equestrian Federation, Youth Action Wiltshire, the London Chamber Orchestra, and Trinity Hospice.
In 2015, Camilla assumed the role of president for the Women of the World Festival – a charity promoting gender equality and celebrating women, girls, and non-binary individuals. Subsequently, in 2018, she was named vice-patron of the Royal Commonwealth Society and, in 2020, vice-patron of the Royal Academy of Dance.
Over the years, Camilla has been honored with various awards and military appointments, including the Commemorative Medal for the Centennial of Saskatchewan, Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal, Lady Sponsor of HMS Prince of Wales, and the Colonel-in-Chief of The Rifles.
