The Multiple Sources of the Queen Elizabeth II Inheritance
When it comes to the Queen Elizabeth II Inheritance, there is no single source of wealth. There are multiple sources, including the Queen’s estate, tons of staff, public and private funds, and several separate businesses.
It is important to understand each source in order to make the most informed decision on how to distribute her inheritance.
Prince William
The next in line to inherit the throne will be Prince William, the son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. Prince Philip is Queen Elizabeth II’s eldest son. He was born on June 21, 1982, and was baptized on August 4, 1982, at Buckingham Palace. His baptism was presided over by Archbishop of Canterbury Robert Runcie. His godparents include former King Constantine II of Greece and Princess Alexandra. His paternal cousins include Sir Laurence van der Post and Lady Susan Hussey.
Prince George
The Royal Family’s ancestors are quite diverse. King George III was a very strong politician and astute ruler, but he was plagued by recurrent bouts of mental illness. The condition was caused by an inherited blood disease called porphyria, which eventually made him unfit to rule. His first attack occurred in 1788 and by 1810 he had already been declared unfit to rule. That’s when the Prince of Wales became the Regent, and he ruled for nine years until 1820.
Princess Charlotte
The royal kids, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, have an estimated net worth of $3 billion and $5 billion, respectively. Their high value is in part due to their influence in the fashion world. A cardigan in the Princess Charlotte’s favorite yellow pastel pattern sold out in 24 hours in one of the most popular British department stores.
Viscount James
Viscount James will inherit the Queen Elizabeth II inheritance if his parents die. However, he will not inherit the throne, as it was previously the case. Those who are born before the Succession to the Crown Act 2013 are not eligible to inherit the throne.
Lady Louise Windsor
Lady Louise Windsor, the 17-year-old daughter of Prince Philip and Princess Anne, inherited the crown jewels of the late monarch when her late father passed away. She has been nicknamed “Queen Elizabeth’s favourite grandchild” and is set to be given the title of princess when she reaches her 18th birthday in November. She is also the elder sister of Viscount Severn and spends a lot of time at her family’s Balmoral residence.
David Armstrong-Jones
David Armstrong-Jones, the 2nd Earl of Snowdon and son of Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones, has a controversial history. He is not a direct descendant of Queen Elizabeth II but is the first of her grandchildren who is not a direct descendent of the Queen. He is also the third son of the late Princess Margaret. His mother was Queen Elizabeth’s little sister. The royal family has not publicly commented on his personal life, but he has been caught up in blackmail allegations. His father died in 2017 and he was born in 1961.
