The British royal family is so rich! $28 billion was exclusively owned by William , but Prince Harry got nothing
Queen Elizabeth 's property is countless. Now the state funeral has come to an end, and how to "dividing up" has become a hot topic for the public. The primary principle is "Female and water will not flow from outsiders to the outside world", and the property will most likely be passed down from generation to generation.
The British royal family is really rich, with $28 billion in assets exclusively occupied by Prince William , but Prince Harry got nothing. Harry himself is a side branch, and he has withdrawn from the royal family, so he has received very little property.
Queen Elizabeth ruled Britain for a full seventy years, accumulating huge wealth, and increasing it in geometric multiples every year. After Charles III ascended the throne, the British royal family was also considered a change of dynasty, and Prince William became the biggest beneficiary.
According to the tradition of the British royal family, the photos of the monarch will be printed on the banknotes, so the pound will be replaced with the portrait of Charles in the future. Prince William also gained a lot and was named "Prince of Wales" and was already the first heir.
According to Fortune magazine statistics, the total assets of the British royal family are about 28 billion US dollars. Although they are temporarily kept by King Charles, they belong to Prince William in the future and the distribution rights have been settled.
Many royal experts also believe that Charles' rule is only a transitional stage. In order to stabilize the regime, the Queen did not adopt the practice of passing the throne in another generation. Instead, she first supported Charles to succeed the throne, and then passed it to William after the time was ripe.
According to foreign media estimates, the Queen's personal assets are as high as $500 million, including jewelry, art, real estate and stocks. The most famous investments are Scottish Balmoral Castle and Sandringham Manor in England.
Although Charles succeeded to the throne, he was only kept for the time being. Most of the wealth will eventually be handed over to Prince William. Although the inheritance path is extremely cumbersome, Prince William will occupy most of the property, and other royal members can only be given "remaining".
The Windsor family ruled Britain for hundreds of years and accumulated about $28 billion in wealth. The biggest source of income is real estate. The royal family owns 191,000 acres of rural land, and there is also a "annual active grant" of $99.4 million from taxpayers.
There is another income from the Principality of Cornwall, worth more than $1.2 billion, and has now been inherited by Prince William. Most of the royal property has begun to be slowly transferred to William, and the eldest son can occupy almost all his wealth.
In addition, the royal family also owns the Duke of Lancaster, a century-old manor with an estimated price of around 900 million US dollars. In addition, there are some invisible income. Every time the royal family holds a large celebration, it attracts tourists from all over the world, bringing two billion dollars in revenue to the UK.
It is worth mentioning that the Royal Tax Memorandum of Understanding stipulates that the British royal family does not need to pay taxes. However, after Charles succeeded to the throne, the annual income of the Duke of Cornwall was voluntarily paid 45% of the tax, which played a role in setting an example.
Prince William undoubtedly got the big deal and almost exclusively occupied all the royal property, while Harry was not so lucky. Not only did the royal family visit not only gain nothing, but they also had a lot of criticism, and they didn't even have the qualifications to wear military uniforms.
Therefore, as soon as the state funeral came to an end, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex immediately returned to the United States, not wanting to be "embarrassing" in the royal family. Both are the sons of Charles III, but William and Harry are treated in a huge difference, and the gap is unacceptable.
With the death of Queen Elizabeth, whether the British monarchy should be retained has sparked heated discussions online. Is it worth it to own huge assets and spend more than 90 million US dollars on taxpayers every year just to provide for a "mascot"?
The death of the queen marked the end of an era and had a great impact on the British monarchy. Although King Charles has succeeded to the throne, his poor love history and stubborn temper have left the public with little good impression of him.
At this time, it would be a wise move to let William inherit most of his property. After all, Harry and Meghan are stupid and bad. Even though Queen Elizabeth frequently gave in during her lifetime, she was in return for kindness and revenge and gaining ambition.
royal writer Caroline Elkins believes that the British royal family will be even more broken in the future. Even if Harry gets a portion of his property, it will be useless in the end, because human desires are endless.
The 1920s was the heyday of Britain, with about one-quarter of the world's colonies, and English is the global language. With the passing of Queen Elizabeth, the former empire that never sets gradually declined, taking away the pride and glory of the past.
It is a wise move to not share Harry's property now, otherwise most of it will fall into Meghan's pocket, and the royal wealth will be completely out of the way, which is obviously a scene that the queen doesn't want to see.
