Queen Elizabeth II's death on Thursday at the age of 96 has resulted in a wide variety of plans going into motion. Alongside organising the longest reigning monarch's funeral and the formalities of declaring Charles as king, another big issue is what happens to the Queen's possessions including her jewellery, clothes, and estates. Elizabeth II had both personal wealth and possessions, along with the income from the state during her years on the throne - but what happens to this now she has passed? This is what happens to her money, possessions, and property now that Charles has succeeded her and become the King...
How rich was the Queen? According to The Sunday Times Rich List, the Queen had an estimated net worth of £370m in 2022. Her personal wealth and assets she held as part of her role as the sovereign were not one and the same and although she was considered to be one of the richest women in the world, the Queen was shy about disclosing her wealth. Her Majesty received 15 per cent of the profits from the Crown Estate's property portfolio, but from funds two years in arrears.
The income covered the running costs of the Queen's household as well as events such as official receptions, investitures, and garden parties. The percentage increase to 25 per cent in 2017 to cover the cost of a 10-year programme of repairs at Buckingham Palace - giving the Queen around £82.4 million in 2019/20. But the Queen also had her own investments, including private art and stamp collections, racehorses, a share portfolio, and the estates of Sandringham and Balmoral.
