How rich is Britain's royal family?

Everything — the monarchy, the royal estate, and the private estate of Queen Elizabeth II — will now go to her first son, King Charles III. But what exactly does that consist of?

Here's what the British sovereign actually owns. Whenever possible, we've also broken down how much money an asset is worth; some things have been owned by the royal family so long that they haven't been priced by modern standards, or are worth so much money (as in the case with jewels) that experts have a hard time estimating a value. 

However, technically, all of the lands of Wales, Northern Ireland, and England belong to the Crown Estate. (Scotland created its own estate in 2016, the Crown Estate Scotland, which is run as a public corporation on behalf of the Scottish government.)

The entirety of the Crown Estate is worth $34.3 billion in assets.

This is where the family tends to greet visitors and crowds, and serves as the administrative offices of the monarch of the United Kingdom. The property is valued at $4.9 billion.

The exact origins are unclear, but it was first recorded as being part of the Peacock Chair in the Mughal Empire of India in the 1740s. After Queen Victoria annexed India in the 1840s, she obtained the Koh-i-Noor diamond for herself. 

The governments of Iran, Afghanistan, India, and Pakistan have all made claims to the diamond and demanded its return since India declared independence in 1947, but the British government claims it has the legal right to own the diamond under a 176-year-old treaty.

Balmoral Castle is a privately owned residence located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It was purchased by Elizabeth II and will now be passed down to Charles III. According to Forbes, the property is worth $140 million.

This castle is where Queen Elizabeth II was staying when she died at 96 in September 2022.

However, the public loved her large sapphire ring, which was quite unique at the time, and it is now a cherished piece of the royal family. When Prince William proposed to Catherine Middleton, he used his mother's engagement ring to do so.

Experts in 2014 pegged the value of the ring at around $500,000.

The Duchy of Cornwall is around 135,000 acres, and was established in 1337 by Edward III for his son, Edward Prince of Wales. By tradition, the Duchy of Cornwall has been managed by the Prince of Wales.

Charles III made the Duchy of Cornwall particularly profitable, and it generated $26 million in 2021. The entire property is valued at $1.3 billion. 

Though the duchy is technically exempt from taxes, Charles began voluntarily making tax payments starting in 1993 after Parliament began considering further taxes on the royal family. 

The duchy is now managed by Prince William.

It's pictured here on display at Kensington Palace as part of its "A Century of Queens" wedding dress exhibition.

Windsor Castle was the primary residence of Elizabeth II, and served as a place of refuge for the royal family during World War II. It's estimated to be worth around $574 million.

They were worn again by Elizabeth II at her coronation. She continued to wear them frequently throughout her life. They're worth around $345,000.

The royal family is known for its extensive art collection as well. 

This is "Study of Rocks; Creuse: 'Le Bloc'" by Claude Monet. In 1949, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother purchased it for $2300, and by the time of her death in 2002, it was worth about $17,000. 

The Monet painting hung in her main residence at Clarence House for several years, but is now on display at Buckingham Palace as part of the Royal Collection Trust.

But technically, the entire building is owned by the Crown, on loan to the British parliamentary government. But it's one of the most important London institutions and has been home to the House of Lords and the House of Commons for centuries.

It is unknown how much this particular painting is worth, but original Rembrandt pieces typically go for tens of millions of dollars at auctions.

London's Hyde Park is one of its best known, and its famous Speakers' Corner is an open-air area where public demonstrations, discussions, speeches, and debates are allowed. The entire park is worth about $22 million.

The cars are armored, the tires are reinforced with Kevlar, the cabin can be sealed airtight in gas attacks, and it's even blast-resistant. There are opaque glass panels which can be installed for privacy, but they're removable in case the monarch wants to wave at crowds.

The Royal Collection owns at least four of the 57 Fabergé eggs that were created and still survive: The Basket of Flowers egg, the Colonnade egg, the Twelve Panel egg, and the Mosaic egg, pictured here. 

Original Fabergé eggs are worth millions of dollars. 

Greenwich Park is located in London, and is a former hunting park that overlooks the River Thames and the Isle of Dogs. It's also the location of the Prime Meridian, which is the reference point for Greenwich Mean Time — which determines time zones for the entire world.

The park is currently being renovated and restored to preserve its historicity and increase its biodiversity.

It was last used in November 2021 for the birth of August Brooksbank, the son of Princess Eugenie. Catherine, Princess of Wales, is seen here holding Princess Charlotte as she wears the christening gown in 2015.

The queen actually didn't have her ears pierced at the time, but got them pierced so that she could wear the earrings, which were one of her favorite pairs. She wore them repeatedly throughout her life.

It's not all just estates and jewelry and property owned by the family.

King Charles III has been interested in organic food since the '80s, and in 1990 he began a company called Duchy Originals as an outlet for organic food grown in the Duchy of Cornwall, which he managed until stepping down in 2021 in preparation for the throne.

It is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Prince of Wales's Charitable Fund. The management of this company will likely now go to Prince William.

In 2009, Duchy Originals formed a deal with Waitrose to create Waitrose Duchy Organics and increase profitability. All of the profits are donated back to the Charitable Fund in turn, so technically, the royal family doesn't make any money from it. 

In 2021, Waitrose Duchy Organics reported a profit of $4.1 million. They have donated $35 million in charity since 2009, and with increasing interest in organic food, sales have risen in the past few years.

This stamp collection has almost all major postage stamps throughout U.K. history, and individual pieces are each worth in the thousands. 

Since the passing of Elizabeth II, the family plans to move back to Windsor Castle. William and Kate intend to delay their move for a time to maintain a sense of stability for their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

Objects included are the Imperial Crown, the Crown of St. Edward, the Royal Sceptre, the Orb, the Ampulla which contains the Oil of Anointing, the Sword of Mercy, the Sword of State, the Sword of Offering, the Sword of Temporal Justice, the Sword of Spiritual Justice, St. Edward's Staff, three different scepters, and the maces of the Sergeants-at-Arms. 

It's impossible to estimate what these rare, historic, jewel-filled coronation items would be worth altogether.

The Tower of London, officially called His Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London, now functions as a museum and is a protected World Heritage Site due to its extensive history.

It's also the single most valuable piece of property in the United Kingdom, estimated to be worth about $81 billion.

It's referred to as a "ruby" because rubies and spinels were not known to be distinct gems until the 18th century. It is unknown how much the jewel is worth, but it is the largest uncut spinel in the world.

It's not as profitable as the Duchy of Cornwall and is technically managed by the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, who is Nadhim Zahawi — the second-highest ranking minister after the Prime Minister. The income generated goes directly to the sovereign.

The land is estimated to be worth $748 million, and its net income in 2021 was about $25 million. 

Here, Charles III visits Morecambe, a town in Lancashire, England.

Here, Royal Collection Trust deputy surveyor and curator Caroline de Guitaut sets out a costume display for Christmas decorations at Windsor Castle. 

These costumes were part of then-Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret's family tradition to entertain themselves at Christmas by staging pantomime shows, especially as they bunkered down at Windsor Castle during World War II.

Queen Elizabeth II wore this diadem in the procession to her coronation in 1953, and then wore it yearly at the annual State Opening of Parliament, which occurs every time the British Parliament starts a new session.

The jewelry experts at Steven Stone estimated it to be worth around $6.9 million. 

Pierre-Antoine Bellangé was a French furniture maker who created elaborate Gothic and Empire styles of furniture for ultra-wealthy people throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. 

Many pieces can be found in Buckingham Palace.

"The Story of Abraham" set was commissioned by Henry VIII and delivered to him in 1543. In 1643 they were priced at £8,260 — which would be $1.54 million today in U.S. currency.

It's one of the wealthiest religious organizations in the world and is valued at $11.97 billion. While Charles III is the head of the Church of England, the Archbishop of Canterbury is the principal religious leader.

The official residence of the British monarch in Scotland is the Palace of Holyroodhouse. 

The site is also home to the historic 16th century apartments owned by Mary, Queen of Scots, which are open to the public unless the royal family is in residence. Holyrood Palace is estimated to be worth around $63 million.

The Royal Collection has at least 20 drawings from the famed artist Michelangelo, including this one, "The Resurrection," drawn circa 1532.

Michelangelo drawings often fetch tens of millions of dollars at auctions.

According to Forbes, Sandringham House is estimated to be worth $65 million.

Regent's Park is known for its sporting activities, and was even set to be the site of a few competitions in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, but was changed at the last minute.

Two of the major stones are part of the Crown Jewels, while the other seven were privately owned by Elizabeth II. The largest stone, Cullinan I, is estimated to be worth between $400 million or more. The late queen is pictured here wearing the Cullinan V Heart Brooch.

Edward VII moved the 104-carat sapphire to the back after he obtained the Cullinan II diamond, which now sits at the front.

The Sovereign's Sceptre was commissioned in 1661 for the coronation of Charles II and is now an important part of the Crown Jewel collection, and is always included in coronation ceremonies. It was redesigned in 1910 to include Cullinan I, referred to as the Great Star of Africa.

It is the largest clear-cut diamond in the world. 

The State Rooms in Kensington Palace are managed by a nonprofit organization called Historic Royal Palaces, which does not receive public funding. Those are open to the public. The administrative and resident areas, however, are funded by the Royal Household, with no public access allowed. 

One of the sketches includes this anatomical drawing of the muscles of the shoulder, arms, and bones of the foot. It was drawn in ink circa 1510-11 and can be seen at the Queen's Gallery in Buckingham Palace.

A single, small da Vinci sketch sold for $12.2 million in July 2021 — so imagine what 600 drawings would be worth.

Leaving aside anything owned by the monarchy itself, Queen Elizabeth II was estimated to be worth around $500 million as a private citizen -- all of which now passes to Charles III.

The castle is estimated to be worth around $92 million. 

Prince William established a firm called APL Anglesey. Princess Catherine established a similar one called CE Strathearn.

This will enable the two to sell official merchandise, but it will also give them power to legally stop people from selling items that could harm their image. 

The Brompton Cemetery of London, one of the better-known garden cemeteries in the world, is managed by The Royal Parks. It was established in 1839 as an Act of Parliament. 

There are more than 205,000 graves and 35,00 monuments located on 40 acres of land. 

With more than 500 pieces in the Royal Collection, the royal family owns the world's largest collection of Sèvres porcelain, such as the vase featured here. 

Historic pieces of Sèvres porcelain usually sell for $4,000 to $8,000, but exceptional pieces can go for much higher.

In 2019, the cottage was converted to a four-bedroom home to be the primary residence of Duke Harry and Duchess Meghan.

Harry's cousin, Princess Eugenie, took up residence at the cottage in November 2020 with her husband Jack Brooksbank and their son August.

"The Miraculous Draught of Fishes" is a tapestry by Raphael circa 1515, referring to the two Biblical miracles.

The painting is owned by the Royal Collection, and can be seen at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. These Raphaels are worth millions.

The palace complex includes the York House, where Charles III lived with his sons William and Harry in the 1990s, and the Clarence House, the former home of the Queen Mother and where Charles and Camilla resided until their ascension to the throne in September 2022. It's supposedly worth $690 million.

It's particularly known for its deer population, alongside ancient trees, beetles, and fungi. There's also a large population of ring-necked parakeets, thanks to birds who escaped from captivity. It's more than 2,500 acres.

The Stuart family took over the crown after Elizabeth I died without heirs. Much of their rule, however, was marked by Catholic-Protestant tensions. The last Catholic British monarch, James II of England, was deposed in 1689.

Members of the Stuart family were then exiled, and correspondence was sent about failed attempts to regain the throne. These papers are priceless to historians.

He has lived there since its renovation in 2004 and resides with his ex-wife, Duchess Sarah. It was built originally in 1662, but has been demolished and rebuilt several times since then.
