An investigation by The Guardian reveals that the deaths of individuals without wills or known next of kin in parts of England have increased the personal wealth of King Charles III. Assets from these individuals go to the Duchy of Lancaster property estate, controlled by the king, if they die in a former dukedom covering northwest England. Similar arrangements exist in Cornwall, where assets go to the Duchy of Cornwall. While the duchies claim that the funds are donated to charities, documents show that only a small portion goes to charities, with officials using the funds to upgrade properties rented out for profit. Critics argue that the revenue is being used as a "slush fund" to renovate properties, while those affected express dismay that the funds are increasing the king's wealth.

The King's decision to give up the lease comes as he tries to reduce costs of his many residences.
