    I believe this is different. We also have an Inheritance Tax which is a tax on a person’s estate when they die.

    However this is the Royal Estate taking all of the inheritance for people who don’t have a will or any known relatives. Usually in this scenario it would instead go to the govt., thus, eventually, benefiting everyone and not just the Royal family.

      Also, Charlie was exempt from paying inheritance tax despite inheriting an entire fucking empire simply because he was the lucky spaff of his cousin-fucking dad.

        It doesn’t really make sense to have inheritance tax on the crown estate, thought it could have done on the Duchy of Lancaster.
