The Duke of Cambridge is soon to take over Charles' role when he is crowned King of England
And father-of-three William is already preparing to acquire his father's £1 billion estate, the Duchy of Cornwall, according to the Daily Star Online
William has attended two top secret meetings this month, with speculation the prince is taking big strides to proceed his father's role rising
The current Duke of Cornwall, Prince Charles, will pass on his estate to William once he becomes King of England
The Duchy of Cornwall is a private estate established by Edward III in 1337, to provide independent income to his son and heir to the throne, Prince Edward
Now, the estate boasts a large number of properties and land ownerships on the UK, stretching over 134,000 acres of land across more than 23 counties
Prince William will soon become The Duke of Cornwall, a title bestowed upon the oldest son of the monarch, and inherit possession of the Duchy - including Charles' £1 billion estate
Charles generated £20.5 million from the estate last year, the Daily Star Online has reported
According to the Court Circular, William attended a meeting in October held at Charles' Clarence House
However, William has since attended two additional meetings - one on November 1 at Clarence House and another at the Duchy's HQ near Buckingham Palace on November 27
This is the highest number of meetings the Duke of Cambridge has attended in relation to matters concerning the Duchy
He attended one meeting of the Duchy in 2011 and two in 2017, according to the Court Circular
Charlie Proctor, editor of Royal Central, previously told Daily Star Online: “Just like Prince Charles is preparing to become King, William is already preparing to become Prince of Wales ready for the duties & responsibilities he will have to take on
“As an example, William recently left his job as an air ambulance pilot to become a full time working royal
As time goes on his presence becomes ever more important meaning he has to commit all of his working time to royal duties
“I think it is important to say that just like his father, William is also preparing to become King
There is no chance that William will be Prince of Wales for more than 60 years. “As such, he must also learn the ropes because his time on the throne may come sooner rather than later
“William is preparing to become Prince of Wales and King through his current duties as second-in-line to the throne
“He is championing causes he cares about, is holding meetings and audiences with various groups, and is being advised by senior aides
