Three surprising royals who missed out on Queen's inheritance due to odd rule

Sir Major's agreement was made at the time to "prevent the dilution of the Crown's wealth and ensure the continuity of the monarchy's functioning." As Charles takes the reins, he's in control of the Sovereign Grant, which finances the Royal Family's official roles, setting it at a substantial £86.3million for 2024-25. He also receives a hefty £27 million income from the Duchy of Lancaster, a separate estate full of land, property, and assets meant just for the reigning monarch.
