Prince William had quietly disclosed his tradition-breaking move for a royal property as the future king plans to rule differently than his predecessors.
It was reported by The Times that the Prince of Wales, who inherited the Duchy of Cornwall from his father King Charles following his ascension to the throne, plans to sell 20 percent of the estate.
This decision is likely to affect the future generations inheriting the Duchy, like Prince George, who recently began his new chapter at Eton College.

With the major changes in the lives of the Wales family, big moves are being made by the Prince and Princess of Wales for the future of their reign.
Now, it was revealed that the duchy is hoping to get a greenlight from county planners to make changes to a car park next to a rural woodland. A representative has filed to extend the piece of and used as a car park near woodland near Aconbury Court Farm in south Herefordshire.
The extension is expected to allow visitors to park beside the woodland without blocking the gate, and would alleviate forest operations being disrupted, or hindering access to any emergency vehicles. Moreover, the site is currently vacant since the last time harvesting was done in last December.
A decision is yet to be made on the application.

Hill and Seed Farms, which form more than 600 acres of the Cradley Estate on the Herefordshire and Worcestershire border, was marked as sold, expected to be around £6.65 million.
