00:07next decade to fund housing, jobs and environmental projects. The estate, which provides private
00:13income for the Prince of Wales, expects the sales to raise £500 million. The Duchy says that the
00:20money will support affordable homes, renewable energy and community investment in areas where
00:26it owns land. Critics have questioned royal finances and whether the changes will increase
00:32transparency. Former Minister Norman Baker claimed the plans would still generate substantial
00:38income for Prince William and the Duchy through new housing and tenants in years ahead.
