Question: If at some point PoW becomes Regent, does he control the Sovereign's Grant and William take over DoC income? or how does that work.

Until there is an official announcement, we aren't going to know what William's plans are. He doesn't have to do the air ambulance full time, he could do 15 shifts a month plus royal duties.
Very true, an official announcement on their plans would clear up and hopefully present a better balance than they had before.
The house and the honors were given to him as a future full time royal and not as a reluctant part time royal who has to be bribed to do his duty. If he wanted to stay as a part time or occasional royal then he should have stayed at Clarence House.
There was enough room for William, Kate & George and a nanny at Clarence House. William had a 3 room suite, Harry had a 3 room suite & there were several guest bedrooms on the same floor. Also St. James' Palace has more than enough room. Charles had remodeled it for W&H so that there were IIRC about 14 extra bedrooms for their friends.
Apartment 1A is too large for just a family home. Prince Charles was a full time royal but lived in a 3 room apartment at BP until he was married. Charles uses Clarence House not just as a residence but for meetings and conducting official business as POW and as a member of the royal family meeting visiting dignitaries. When he lived in KP's Apartment 8&9, they too were used for meetings and not just for a family residence.
William's own words from over 2 years ago stated he was being pressured to increase his royal duties.
But the pressures of my other life are building. And fighting them off, or balancing the two of them, has proven quite difficult.”
Clearly he is the one who is making the decisions and refusing to do commit to his destiny of life as a full time WORKING royal.
Ah, don't think so. While the DoE has had a couple of health scares he is generally in rude health. However, HM is in very good health and the only way William can be PoW is if HM dies and Charles ascends the throne and barring accidents or an undiagnosed heart condition or such, I can't see us burying her any time soon.It appears that the powers that be assumed they needed to get their ducks in a row after the last couple of years of DoE's hospital stays. William resigned from RAF; started work on a home; started preparing for PoW duties and full time engagements, etc. The Press got all hipped up thinking they would have W&C pics, pics, pics and now DoE is almost as spry as ever (also Duke of Kent) and all the plans have had to change. The reporters are not happy about any of the new plans...no more W&C pics...

I have my doubts about successful adulthood for either of those young men.
I look forward to reading your prognostications of DOOM...and what form you think it will take. Crack addiction, alcoholism, sex addiction ???
