Now that much-loved Queen Elizabeth is dead, she leaves a sizeable legacy. Can King Charles fill his mother’s big shoe? And what about all the queen’s treasures?

“Part of what he leaves behind is that he has carried out his duties with extraordinary dedication”, royal family expert Jeroen Schmale told Good Morning Netherlands at NPO 1. more than 70 years.”sit”. Because “few Britons can remember any king other than this Queen”.

Political Legacy

“What we will notice is that this issue has to be completely reset,” said former Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal. He was referring to the political work that King Charles, along with recently appointed British Prime Minister Liz Truss, had to do. “And that at times, after ten days without politics, politics will explode again.”

According to Rosenthal, England is “changing”. In other words: in turbulence. So there was an uphill task ahead of Charles. Because he had to do what his mother had been doing for 70 years. “Keep the Union together, so keep Scotland in particular. And the Commonwealth too.”

Inheritance

“His personal property is estimated at around 500 million euros,” said royal expert Justine Marcella. The Queen also left the necessary artwork. “Claude Monet, Fabergé eggs, jewellery, plantations. So it will be inherited.”

Then there is the Firm. Actually the name of the British royal family. Or as King George VI once said: ‘We are not family. We are a company. In other words: ‘We are not a family, we are a company.’ And that company? Its value is about 27 billion. “But most of the money is in the foundation, from which a lot of money comes out to renovate the palace. So it’s hard to say exactly what the inheritance is,” Marcella said. “But mostly it’s just for the royal family.”
