They receive salaries that range from millions of dollars to nothing at all. However, many of them hold high-profile positions with no salary attached to them. For example, Prince Charles holds the title of Prince of Wales and does not receive a salary for this position. He does, however, receive an annual allowance of $5 million (or $100,000 per day) which is set by parliament. This amount is quite large but not so much as to be unrealistic for one person. The Duke of Edinburgh is the husband of Queen Elizabeth II. He holds no official position with the government but does receive an annual pension of $300,000. The duke previously held several positions with great responsibility including commander-in-chief of the armed forces and head of state. He resigned from all of these positions when his first wife died. Since then, he has not held any other public office.
