The next King?
Charles, the eldest child of the queen, received various assets including land and property in addition to the titles of royal and head of the Commonwealth. After decades of waiting, Charles, 73, is the longest-serving heir in British history.
Charles is the oldest of the queen’s four children with her late husband, Prince Philip. At age 3, when his mother succeeded to the throne at age 25, he became the heir apparent to Britain. While he was the heir to the throne, Charles had the titles of Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Rothesay, and Earl of Carrick.

After Charles married Diana Spencer in 1981, they were awarded the title of Prince and Princess of Wales.
They had two kids: Harry, who is currently fifth in line to the throne, and William, who is currently the presumed heir. Diana and Charles divorced in 1992. After some time, they got divorced. The Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla Parker Bowles, was married to Charles in 2005.
What financial fortune will the future King receive?
King Charles is exempt from inheritance tax and receives both the throne and his mother, Queen Elizabeth II’s personal wealth.
Before ascending to the throne, King Charles had a net worth of $100 million. The future King now has a net worth of $600 million thanks to Queen Elizabeth II’s bequest of $500 million in personal assets.
Additionally, he will get back the annual Sovereign Grant, which in 2021 was $116.7 million.
“Queen Elizabeth was a life well lived; a promise with destiny kept and she is mourned most deeply in her passing. That promise of lifelong service I renew to you all today.”
