Is The Queen the wealthiest woman in the world?No. The Queen's wealth has often been greatly exaggerated, wrongly including the Royal Palaces, art treasures from the Royal Collection, jewellery heirlooms and the Crown Jewels, all of which are held by Her Majesty as Sovereign and not as an individual. They must be passed on to The Queen's successor in due course.The Queen's personal income, as for any other individual, is a private matter; however, the Lord Chamberlain said in 1993 that estimates for her investment portfolio of £100 million and upwards were 'grossly overstated'. Her Majesty owns Balmoral and Sandringham, as well as the West Ilsley Stables, and Sunninghill Park, home of The Duke of York and the stud at Sandringham. The Queen owns no property outside the United Kingdom. |
