Britain's King Charles will inherit not just the throne after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II,but also her private fortune -- without having to pay inheritance tax.

British monarchs are not required to reveal their private finances but according to the Sunday Times Rich List 2022, the queen was worth some £370 million ($426 million), up £5 million from the previous year.
