Queen After the death of Elizabeth II, issues such as the successors of the British royal family and the distribution of inheritance have become the focus of public attention. The Queen of England's personal property is estimated to be 4 billion yuan, including many jewelry and crown collections. Who will be given the treasures to be kept or inherited? Now, the mystery of the British royal family will be unveiled for you.
1. The property types of the British Queen
The property owned by the British Queen can be roughly divided into two types. One is the property of the British royal family, including estate, crown of royal power, etc., and the other is the personal wealth of Elizabeth II, which is mainly real estate, jewelry and artworks. The former is the right to use it; the latter is the personal property of the British Queen, which can be arranged and disposed of by herself.
According to statistics from British royal experts, the British Queen has a private collection of up to 300 pieces of jewelry, including crowns, earrings, rings, etc., of which 50 are headwear alone.
For example, the Diamond Diadem that the Queen of England chose to wear on many important occasions belongs to her private collection.
2. Heir to the throne of the British Charles III (King Charles III)
As the first heir to the British Queen, the "British King's Power" used and worn by the British Queen during her reign will be inherited by him. The British royal property refers to the general term for jewelry collections worn by the British monarch when he was coronation and participating in major national affairs, including the Imperial Crown, St. Edward's Crown, Scepter , etc. These items are all entrusted by the state for use by the next monarch. Therefore, after the death of the Queen of England, these items will be handed over to the throne King Charles III.
Empire Crown and St. Edward's Scepter (Scepter of the Cross), Empire Crown is only used when crowned.
3. Duchess of Kate (Kate Middleton)
Since the Queen of England's will has confidentiality provisions, it is impossible to confirm the exact distribution of the Queen of England's property. However, according to British media, the Queen of England gave most of the jewelry to her granddaughter-in-law, Princess Kate, before her death (it is said that it was mainly given to Princess Charlotte , but because the princess is young, she will temporarily hand it over to Princess Kate for safekeeping and has the right to wear).
At present, it is known that the jewelry inherited by Princess Kate is a sapphire ring from the relics of Princess Diana . This ring later became the engagement ring that Prince William proposed to Princess Kate.
4. Princess Charlotte
Princess Charlotte rumored to be one of the candidates to inherit most of the jewelry of the Queen of England, but what surprised the public the most was that Princess Charlotte would be the possibility of inheriting the Spencer family crown worn by the Princess Diana at the wedding ceremony.
Spencer family crown actually does not belong to the British royal family, nor does it belong to the British Queen, but is owned by the Spencer family. The auction house Sotheby's revealed that Charles Spencer (the younger brother of Princess Diana, Earl Spencer, the ninth-generation Spencer Earl), who currently owns this crown, intends to pass the crown to Princess Diana's first granddaughter, namely Princess Charlotte.
Spencer family crown last appeared in front of the public in 2018 at the wedding of Princess Diana’s niece Celia McCorquodale.
5. Harry, Meghan Couples
According to insiders in the British royal family, Harry, Meghan and their children Archie and Lilibet will not be able to inherit the British Queen's private collection. Because the couple has withdrawn from the British royal family, considering that these jewelry may be worn on official occasions and are unfair, the British Queen did not put them in their will.

6. The Queen of England’s engagement ring
In the collection of the Queen of England, one of the most memorable values is the Queen of England’s engagement ring. This ring is not only the engagement ring given by the Queen of England’s husband, Prince Philip, , , when he proposed, but was also designed by Prince Philip himself. According to experts, the wedding ring will be inherited by the only daughter of the two.

The ring is set with 11 diamonds and the main stone is a 3-card round single diamond.
7. The Queen of England’s funeral objects
