Princess Charlotte is wealthier than every child on Earth, and even her own brothers, George and Louis, thanks to her mother's taste for luxury fashion. According to a study by Electric Ride on Cars, Charlotte has a net worth of £3.5billion because of her mum Kate, Princess of Wales.

Princess Charlotte has inherited what they called the "Kate Middleton effect”. The princess is just eight years old, but has ranked higher than other celebrity children, as well as her own brothers.

She also was high up on the list for the highest future inheritance, and is set to inherit a staggering £3,594,932,000. Her older brother Prince George was the second richest child, with an estimated net worth of £3.4billion, the study found.

The authors of the story said his net worth is determined by his estimated future inheritance alongside his impact on the UK economy. The second in line to the throne had the second-highest future inheritance - an enormous £2,451,090,000.

But this staggering amount is still more than a billion pounds less than his younger sister's expected inheritance, the Express reports. Electric Ride on Cars' report stated: "Although her net worth has dropped by 12 percent since 2021, she still edges out her older brother Prince George, apparently due to the 'Kate Middleton effect', where the fashion choices of the Royal Family can have a huge impact on fashion trends.”

In the world of children's fashion, Princess Charlotte's outfits have been making an impact and she has become a burgeoning style icon in her own right. For example, she caught the public's attention when wearing a pair of chic sunglasses at Wimbledon.

She appeared just as stylish as her fashion icon mum, Kate, Princess of Wales, and appeared to be similarly confident. As Princess Kate's only daughter, she already has a considerable influence on the sales of children's clothes, with parents worldwide inspired by Charlotte's youthful style.

When her father, Prince William, becomes King, she will inherit a senior title, which might be the same as Princess Anne's - The Princess Royal. It's tradition for the title to be handed to the eldest daughter of the reigning monarch. However, it's not always guaranteed if the earlier holder is still alive.
