"Insider's Guide to King Charles's Coronation: From Dress Code to After-Parties"
The upcoming coronation of King Charles III has brought renewed scrutiny of the wealth of the royal family and skepticism about how much the public should be subsidizing it. While the majority of Britons support the monarchy, a growing minority view it as an expensive relic. The royal family owns or profits from more than 1 percent of the land in the United Kingdom, which is especially galling to some amid a cost-of-living crisis in Britain. The Sunday Times Rich List estimated Charles’s personal net worth to be 600 million pounds (about $750 million), while The Guardian came up with an even higher figure for his fortune: 1.16 billion pounds ($1.44 billion).
