Question

What is the British Royal Family's wealth and Each member's wealth of the British Royal Family.?

Answer 1

The Sunday Times Rich List, for example, estimates Rowling's fortune at about $1.1 billion, while it values the queen's at a mere $650 million. Even so, few fortunes generate the kind of fascination as that of the Windsors. While other royal families in northern Europe came out of two world wars as more stripped-down, commonplace figures who rode bicycles in the streets and readily mingled in daily affairs, the British monarchy retained most of its distance, pomp and pageantry.

Answer 2

The Queen herself is worth millions in her own right.  Prince Charles also is very wealthy.  Prince Andrew & Prince Edward are not.  They must work in order to pay the bills.  The royal family receives a allowance based on public appearances.  Queen Elizabeth has been cutting back on the allowance's for many of the royal family.

Answer 3

they should not be kept in luxury by the tax-payers,they have stacks of money stashed away and should finance their own luxurious and extravagant lifestyles

Answer 4

Well, about £144 - 14s - 2.1/2d, each I was told (That's tuppence ha'penny, incidentally).

Near enough.

Except Godzilla the Nag.... She's not worth a tanner.

Her predecessor was well over half-a-crown though.

Answer 5

http://www.royal.gov/uk/output/Page4680.... has the information on Royal finances. The Queen's personal wealth comes from the Duchy of Lancaster;other monies she receives is used for paying government workers(her personal holdings may be over $500 million but it's hard to say,she's secretive about personal wealth). Charles' personal wealth(he earns over $20 million a year) is earned from the Duchy of Cornwall. All other members of the family receive money from the Queen if they work for her;others must get jobs or marry money.David Linley operates a successful furniture enterprise and his wife,Serena,is an heiress.

"THE QUEEN'S PERSONAL WEALTH

The Queen's personal income, derived from her personal investment portfolio and private estates, is used to meet private expenditure.

As for any individual, The Queen's private funds remain a private matter, but the Lord Chamberlain said in 1993 that estimates of £100 million and upwards were "grossly overstated".

The Windsor Private Estate and Royal Farm do not make any money for The Queen but are a net outgoing.

Ventures such as the Windsor Farm Shop, launched in October 2001, provide employment locally and support the agricultural industry. Any profits from the Farm Shop will be used to support the running of the Royal Farms and Private Estates.

The Queen owns the Balmoral and Sandringham estates, both inherited from her father.

She also owns the stud at Sandringham (with a small amount of land in Hampshire). Her Majesty owns no property outside the United Kingdom.

Estimates of The Queen's wealth often mistakenly include items which are held by The Queen as Sovereign on behalf of the nation and are not her private property.

These include Royal Palaces, most of the art treasures from the Royal Collection, heirlooms in The Queen's jewellery collection and the Crown Jewels.

The Royal Household Did you know?

The Queen does not own the Crown Jewels, the Royal Palaces or the art treasures in the Royal Collection. Instead they are held in trust by The Queen for the nation.

These are 'inalienable' items held by Her Majesty as Sovereign, rather than as an individual. This means that they cannot be disposed of by The Queen and must pass to her successor as Sovereign.

The Queen and some members of the Royal Family past and present have made private collections, such as the stamp collection begun by George V.

This is separate to the Royal Collection, although exhibitions and loans of stamps are sometimes made."
