The True Cost of the British Royal Family: Duchies, Diamonds, and Revenue Streams.
TL;DR Summary
The duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall have provided £1.2bn in income for the British royal family since the queen took the throne in 1952, when adjusted for inflation. In addition to the duchies, the family has significant wealth tied up in treasures such as art, jewels, racehorses, and a stamp collection worth approximately £100m. The line between what is owned by the sovereign on behalf of the nation and what is owned by them personally is often blurred.
