Prince William removes Queen Camilla’s sister Annabel Elliot from royal payroll
Annabel worked as an interior designer for the Duchy of Cornwall
Prince William hasn’t renewed the contract of Annabel Elliot, the sister of Queen Camilla, effectively letting her go from her current role.
Annabel, 75, had been working as an interior designer while on the payroll of the Duchy of Cornwall, however the Integrated Annual
Report confirms that the designer’s services were not used for 2023-2024. The Duchy of Cornwall provides income to the heir of the throne and is held by the Duke of Cornwall.
Annabel was hired for the Duchy of Cornwall by King Charles back when he was the Duke of Cornwall. Annabel was brought in following the then Prince of Wales’ marriage to Queen Camilla.
It’s believed that there is no bad blood between William and Annabel and she was simply let go as her work was viewed as complete and staff had learnt what they needed from her.
Last year’s report stated: “During the period to 8th September 2022 the Duchy paid Mrs. Annabel Elliot, the 24th Duke of Cornwall’s sister-in-law,
in the normal course of business and on an arm’s length basis £19,625 [25,276.51] for fees and commission and £12,316 [15,862.70] for the purchase of furniture, furnishings and retail stock for the Duchy of Cornwall Holiday accommodation, Duchy offices and Duchy Nursery.”
This year’s report read: “At 31st March 2024, there was £nil (2023: £nil) remaining payable to Mrs. Elliot in respect of these.”
