The Queen’s net worth at the time of her death has been revealed, as well as the massive inheritance King Charles III will step into.
Queen Elizabeth II was long thought to be valued in the billions with her personal wealth lower - only around the hundreds of millions.
In 2017, brand valuation consultancy firm Brand Finance said the monarch, who passed aged 96, was worth billions.
They said the late monarch and royal family reportedly had assets worth around £68.5billion, The Irish Mirror reported.
But this massive fortune has now been passed on following Her Majesty’s death on September 8, at Balmoral Castle, Scotland.

The monarch’s personal wealth, thought to be comprised of investments, art, jewels, and real estate, was estimated to be worth £430million according to Forbes, in 2021.
However, according to The Sunday Times rich list, her wealth is marginally lower estimated at £370million in 2022.
However, despite numerous estimates the Queen’s true net worth has never been disclosed by The Firm who have often gone out of their way to protect details about the royal family’s wealth, the Guardian reported.
The outlet reported last year that the queen successfully pressured the British government to change the law - in the 1970s - in order to hide her exact level of wealth from the public, claiming it would be embarrassing for the public to know.
Forbes reported that the new monarch, King Charles III, will inherit the majority of the Queen’s nearly half a billion pound fortune.
The entire royal family was estimated to be worth at least £68.5 billion as of 2017, but the financing that makes up the wealth behind the crown is complex and is spread out among many members.
Along with the Queen, these members include King Charles and his wife the Queen Consort Camilla the Duchess of Cornwall; Prince William and his wife Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge; Princess Anne, the queen’s daughter; the queen’s youngest son, Prince Edward, and his wife Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, Forbes claims.
