Palaces, jewels, seals… Between the properties belonging to the British crown and Queen Elizabeth’s personal fortune, the new king inherits a very diverse inheritance.
King Charles III did not inherit the throne until after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who possessed an enormous and, above all, very varied personal fortune.
First, the new sovereign would enjoy property directly owned by the British government. We are specifically talking about Buckingham Palace, tens of thousands of jewels, 200,000 works of art… all estimated Newspaper Forbes up to 28 billion euros.
As for Elizabeth II’s personal wealth, it was estimated a few months ago at 430 million euros. The The Sunday Times, according to the will of the deceased queen, a portion was also to be sent to Charles III. So the new sovereign cannot accurately estimate the amount recovered because the document remains in the private domain.
In fact, unlike other Britons, the royal family does not have to make the will public. She is also exempt from inheritance tax.
Palaces all over the country
As for private properties, for example Balmoral Castle in Scotland, home of the Queen’s death on Thursday. It is a 19th century fort spread over an area of 20,000 hectares. It is estimated at 200 million euros.
Among the residences is Sandrigham Castle in the east of England, where the royal family usually spends Christmas. It is estimated to be worth around 150 million euros.
Farmland, seals, horses…
Queen Elizabeth II’s personal fortune, tens of thousands of acres of farmland and other real estate, is getting bigger every year: £24 million in 2021.
Another interesting aspect of the heirloom is the mind-blowing set of seals, already given to Elizabeth II by her grandfather George V. The size of this collection makes you dizzy: almost 100 million euros.
Charles III also inherited Queen’s Horses, a very prosperous racing stable that brought in several million euros each year.
