Charles III is “fattening” his wealth with 68 million euros of assets of deceased persons who did not leave a will, which he uses instead of charitable purposes to renovate royal properties, writes the British press.

The British media exposes King Charles of England and his estate, which would have been created by accumulating the assets of already deceased people in the North West of the United Kingdom.

Data presented by The Guardian reveals that the heir to Queen Elizabeth II has added at least 68 million euros, or 74 million 381 thousand dollars, in the last ten years, thanks to the medieval practice known as “bona vacantia”.

What is the “bona vacantia” or “empty property” that King Charles of England benefits from?

“Bono vacantia” or “empty estate” refers to the property of people who died without making a will or without any identifiable family member.

These assets are transferred to the state treasury, the announcement states Guardso that they can later be spent on public services.

This practice is carried out in two possessions, also called duchies, which belong to the royal family, the Duchy of Cornwall and Lancaster. Both generate profits for whoever is heir to the throne, in this case King Charles of England.

The “bono vacantia” collection is supposed to be distributed to charities, but according to what the media in question and reported by other newspapers such as El Mundo suggest that only 15 percent of the 68 million euros was donated while most of it goes to the financial benefit of King Carlos III when carries out reforms or rearranges his property.

“Charles III is one of the biggest owners and tenants in the United Kingdom,” the Spanish media said, referring to the fact that he is the biggest beneficiary of the Duchy of Lancaster where dozens of deceased people have been identified in places such as Preston, Blackburn, Liverpool or Oldham.

The assets of these people immediately passed to the British crown, “fatting” the king’s fortune after the renovation of his properties which were then rented out for profit, generating a significant saving that at the beginning of the year gave Charles approx. 29 million 974 thousand euros.

Those who were close to or knew the deceased were aware of the problem and found the practice “shocking” and “unethical” on which Buckingham Palace did not comment.

For its part, a spokesman for the Duchy of Lancaster explained to The Guardian that in addition to distributing part of the money to charities, a “late claims fund” has been created in case a surviving relative or family member makes a claim. (AND)
