Prince Williamis used to fielding tough questions — even from an inquisitive 11-year-old boy!
The Prince of Wales, 41, was put on the spot during avisit to the Hideaway Youth Project in Manchesteron Thursday when Amir Hassan asked the future king: “How much do you have in your bank account?” according toThe Telegraph.
Prince William laughed at the question before replying that he “didn’t know.”
AfterKing Charlesacceded to the throne, Prince William inherited the Duchy of Cornwall — an estate of farmland, property and commercial businesses worth around $1.3 billion.
A royal sourcetold PEOPLElast year, shortly after he became the Prince of Wales, that Prince William is “going to very much take an active role in it. He is fully immersing himself in it.”

It previously emerged that Prince William, who counts homelessness as one of the key causes in his royal work, was exploring how homes in the Duchycould be used to help those in need.
In 2019, Prince Williamsaid he would follow in his father’s footstepswhen it came to the Duchy of Cornwall.
“I’ve started to think about how I will inherit the Duchy one day,” William told farmers inPrince Charles: Inside The Duchy of Cornwall. “Well, rest assured I’m not going to rock the boat; I’ll do much the same as what my father’s doing. I’m not so into the architecture — that’s the only thing.”

Prince William’s visit to Manchester on Thursday also fulfilled a promise that he made at a Buckingham Palace garden party earlier this year, where Wendy Simms, invited him to Moss Side, where she runs a local food bank.
“It’s been a while Wendy — I told you I’d come and see you,” Prince William told Wendy as they reunited.
