WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE QUEEN’S FORTUNE?

The monarchy itself is worth around $128 billion, but Her Majesty held a personal wealth of $618 million – most of which will be passed directly to her heir. “She also wanted to reward her other children for years of hard work,” says an insider. Most of the Queen’s jewels and priceless artworks are the property of the crown, and so are automatically in the hands of King Charles and Queen Camilla. However, there is a treasure trove of personal gifts that were Her Majesty’s to bequeath as she saw fit. “It is likely that she would want to pass on items from her private collection to her loved ones,” says royal commentator Josh Rom. As for her pets, it’s been reported that her four dogs – two corgis, a dorgi and a cocker spaniel – will be given to Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Fergie.
