The British royal family – popular for their stately homes, palaces, and luxurious lifestyles – still lags behind several other royal families worldwide.
Beyond the iconic gates of Buckingham Palace, a surprising truth emerges, which left many in shock.
Across the capital, the royal family own a number of iconic palaces which serve as official residences including Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, St James’s Palace and Clarence House.
However, a new report brings shocking truth to public, revealing foreign royals own more of London than King Charles III.
The British royal family’s personal foothold in the capital is dwarfed by another royal house.
Some foreign royals have reportedly built a real estate empire with huge construction projects and acquisitions of iconic landmarks.
These properties, such as the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace, are held by King Charles as part of The Crown Estate. Such estates are not considered private property and are instead owned by the sovereign on behalf of the nation.
However, the foreign royals, some belong to Qatar, are famous for their growing portfolio in the capital.
As such, a foreign royal family has built up an impressive collection of private houses in some of London’s most salubrious areas. They are believed to own a staggering 1.8 million square feet of real estate in the capital, according to GB News.
