The fact that Queen Elizabeth II had four children, eight grandkids, and
twelve great-grandchildren shows what a large royal family she had managed
to raise. Tragically, Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8, 2022.
Following a prior announcement from Buckingham Palace that she was receiving
medical care, she passed away while visiting her residence in
Balmoral.
Charles, the heir apparent of Queen Elizabeth II, ascended to the throne as
King Charles III right away. King Charles III stated that various members of
the royal family acquired new titles as he transitioned from royal heir to
king. As of right moment, the kids are second, third, and fourth in line for
the throne. In contrast to the titles they were given at birth, their titles
have also altered.
From being the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate
Middleton are now the Prince and Princess of Wales. Additionally, the three
kids received new titles. Prince George of Cambridge, Princess Charlotte of
Cambridge, and Prince Louis of Cambridge were the original names of Queen
Elizabeth II's great-grandchildren. Prince George of Wales, Princess
Charlotte of Wales, and Prince Louis of Wales will now be their formal
titles.
Not simply the title was altered after the queen's passing. CNN reports
that Prince William, the late monarch's heir, and King Charles III received
his own money and estate. The family has roughly $21 billion in land,
property, and assets, according to CNN. The fact that all of this has been
passed down to King Charles III and Prince William has made the prince
considerably wealthy and has given him more property than before.
CNN Business reports that Prince William has now taken over his father's
ownership of the Dutchy Cornwall estate. Nearly 140,000 acres of land and
other property are owned by this estate, which has a huge and varied
portfolio. King Edward III founded the estate, which is worth an estimated
$1.2 billion, back in 1337. According to CNN, the estate's earnings "are
used to finance the public, private, and charity initiatives."
The majority of the family's wealth, $19 billion, was passed down to King
Charles III from the Crown Estate. Because the royal family's wills are
never made public, the remaining approximately $500 million of Queen
Elizabeth II's fortune is unclear.
The family estate will eventually be given to Prince William and his
successor, Prince George, when he succeeds his father as king. King Charles
III remarked in his opening speech: "Today, I'm happy to enthrone William as
Prince of Wales, Tywysog Cymru, the nation whose title I've had the great
honor to wear for a large portion of my life and service. Our new Prince and
Princess of Wales will, I am confident, continue to inspire and guide our
national discourse with Catherine at his side, assisting in elevating the
underdog to the foreground where necessary assistance may be
provided."
Since Prince Phillip's dying and the accession of Queen Elizabeth II, the
royal family has seen a lot of upheaval. Aside from a title change and the
passing of his grandmother, Prince William, the next heir to the throne, is
also going through a transformation in his own life.
According to a top royal insider who spoke to ABC News in August 2022, the
royal couple plans to leave London and settle in the Berkshire countryside
in order to give their children a typical childhood. The insider said, "You
can see why they might feel they have more breathing space in Windsor as the
children become older and more autonomous. In addition to being more suited
to families than Kensington Palace, the cottage is also nearer to Kate's
relatives.
According to the insider, "Kate is quite close to her family and this
relocation brings them considerably closer to the Middletons." It also
resembles Kate's upbringing in rural Berkshire, about which she has talked
lovingly and which, in my opinion, has always had a significant impact on
how the Cambridges have built their family life.
Now attending Lambrook School, one of the top prep institutions in the
nation, are the royal great-grandchildren. "We are pleased that Prince
George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis will be joining us this coming
September and very much look forward to welcome the family, as well as all
of our new pupils, to our school community," said Jonathan Perry, the
school's headmaster, according to ABC News.
The four-bedroom house was first constructed in 1831 and was well-known for
serving as Queen Adelaide's tea house. According to Vogue, the queen started
renting out the house to members of the royal family and other workers in
1941. The house has no on-site personnel and is only spacious enough for the
royal family.
