The revenues from this part of the
duchy have, I am informed, more than
trebled in value during the past fif-
teen years. Many leases have fallen
in, and the estate has been consider
ably improved. Since the prince ac-
ceded to the revenues from the duchy,
his personal expenditure probably has
not exceeded one-eighth of his in
come Since 1912, when he became
legally possessed of the duchy at the
age of IS, he has saved and invested
at least 100000 pounds per annum,
probably more.
The prince is now a property holder
in many quarters of the globe. He
has left the conduct of his invest
ments mainly to his friend, Lord
Revelstoke, the banker. These in
vestments and purchases of property
have been conducted with great Sc
crecy-they have been made in most
instances in the name of a nominee.
