Queen Elizabeth’s $925 Million Will Revealed: Who Gets What?

After the passing of Queen Elizabeth on September 8th, it has been alleged that she left behind a staggering $925 million will.

According to Woman's Day, the majority of the royal family will receive something from the Queen, with one notable exception – Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, of course.

A source close to the royal family claimed that Queen Elizabeth made sure to reward Princess Anne for her dedicated service to the monarchy.

As Princess Anne will never ascend to the throne, the Queen decided to leave Balmoral Castle to her.

Although technically Balmoral Castle is passed down to King Charles, whispers suggest that the Queen made a provision for Anne to use it whenever she desires.

Furthermore, the Queen entrusted Buckingham Palace and Clarence House to King Charles.

He will also serve as the caretaker of other royal properties, including St. James' Palace, Kensington Palace, Windsor Castle, and Sandringham.

On the other hand, Prince Edward and his family were allegedly given free reign of Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate, a place filled with cherished memories of Prince Philip.

In terms of jewelry, Catherine, the Princess of Wales, is said to have inherited the Queen's tiaras.

It is expected that Prince William's wife will receive the late monarch's valuable jewelry collection, estimated to be worth a staggering $110 million.

It is important to note that these 300 personal pieces belong to the Queen herself, not the Crown.

Sources indicate that the Queen had been focusing on her beloved jewelry collection in recent months, contemplating who should receive what.

Rumors suggest that she made some last-minute changes to her will, which are expected to surprise her heirs.

However, the whispers also suggest that Meghan and her daughter Lilibet might not receive any significant jewels.

Insiders claim that this would not be surprising since they are no longer members of the royal family, but it could still be seen as a harsh blow.

If the Queen does indeed exclude Meghan from her will, some speculate that it may not be out of spite but rather practicality.

Others believe it would be the Queen's way of sending a message to Meghan and Harry – that they will reap what they sow.

Queen Elizabeth II's jewelry collection is renowned as one of the most impressive in the world.

From dazzling tiaras to diamond-encrusted diadems and strings of pearls, she had access to a wide array of exquisite pieces.

Among the Crown Jewels, the George IV State Diadem stands out as one of the rarest and most symbolic crowns.

Commissioned by George IV in 1820, it was made by Rundell and Bridge for £8,216 at the time.

Today, it is estimated to be worth nearly £800,000.

The Queen wore the Diamond Diadem on several significant occasions during her reign, including the first state opening of parliament in 1952 and her coronation journey in 1953.

This crown holds a special place as it is strictly reserved for sovereigns and Queen consorts.

Looking ahead, when Prince William eventually becomes King, his wife, Catherine, will inherit the title of Queen Consort.

At that point, she will share the privilege of wearing these prized jewels with the Princess of Wales.

It is a tradition that symbolizes the passing of the crown and the continuation of royal lineage.

As for the Queen's private collection, consisting of family heirlooms, gifts, and items purchased by the monarch herself, it is expected to be passed down to members of the Windsor family, starting with King Charles.

Royal commentator Josh Romm suggests that Queen Elizabeth would likely want to pass on items from her private collection to her loved ones.

While the bulk of the collection will go to Charles and his wife, Camilla, and subsequently to Kate, it remains uncertain whether they will receive any significant pieces from the Queen's will.
