Royals Who Lost Their Fortune

Dec 20 2021

Being born into a royal family means you're set for life, doesn't it? Well, not always. Every once in a while, someone who is born into royalty can find themselves considerably less wealthy, deposed from power altogether, or, in the worst case, on the wrong end of a guillotine.

So what's it like to go from being one of the most powerful people in the world with the coffers of a country at your disposal to having considerably fewer resources? There are a few examples, ranging from centuries ago to today, that illustrate the experience. These are some of the royals who lost their fortune.
