According to The International Business Times, Meghan Markle and her daughter Lilibet would not receive anything.
With the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the time also comes to distribute the great inheritance that she leaves to her family.
She was one of the monarchs with the greatest wealth: jewelry, properties, works of art, investments, real estate and even 32,000 swans.
All these assets would be valued at 500 million euros according to Forbes estimates, an approximate figure since the Queen never revealed her private finances as she was not obliged to do so.
Now that her son Carlos III has been proclaimed king, the question arises as to exactly how the queen’s inheritance will be distributed, since we know to whom the public assets will go but not the private ones.
Most of the inheritance will go to King Carlos III. The inherited assets would be tax-free, since the monarch of the United Kingdom is exempt by law from paying this rate, which the rest of British citizens are obliged to pay.
Among the buildings that you will be able to enjoy from now on as King, are Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, and land and properties throughout the United Kingdom, such as London’s Regent Street or Ascot racecourse, which every year hosts horse races where you can see the most original headdresses in the world.
However, you will not be the absolute owner, nor were your ancestors, of all those properties, since it is held as a trust.
Most of the Windsor’s real estate assets belong to the British State and are managed through a company called Crown State, from which they will obtain 15% of the profits generated.
He will also receive a salary called a “sovereign grant”, intended to cover travel, security, staff and maintenance of the royal palaces. The exact amount of this salary is not well known, since the last known figure is the one that Elizabeth II received in 2021: 85 million euros.
In addition to all this, Carlos will be the owner of numerous swans, dolphins, whales and sturgeons. All these animals live in freedom and it was agreed to take this measure to prohibit poaching and thus prevent their extinction.
The iconic jewels of Queen Elizabeth
Nothing reflected the queen’s personality better than her elegant and characteristic outfits, always accompanied by jewels that were part of the Windsor family’s collection of pieces.
One of the most expensive and extensive collections in the world that houses some 300 pieces, including 98 brooches, 46 necklaces, 34 pairs of earrings, 15 rings, 14 watches and five pendants.
When not in use, the collection is kept in the Queen’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace, and several of these pieces are on display in the Tower of London. This collection will pass into the hands of King Carlos III and, therefore, will be worn by his wife – now queen consort – Camilla.
Kate, the new Princess of Wales, is also expected to receive some pieces from the collection.
Controversy
In the last hours it emerged that Queen Elizabeth II changed her will and left out Meghan Markle, Harry’s wife, and Lilibeth, the daughter of the Dukes of Sussex, according to The International Business Times.
The American and the eleventh great-granddaughter of the queen will not receive any of the jewels, unlike Kate Middleton, now Princess of Wales and her daughter Charlotte, the result of her marriage to the current Prince of Wales, William. They are in the will.
Royal jewelery includes earrings, hoops, rings, pins and more, all worn by the queen throughout her 70-year reign.
After an explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan and Harry assured that the British crown was racist with their children, so they made the decision to withdraw from the United Kingdom and resign from their royal positions.
