That’s what I’m dying to know![/quote]
Bulk goes to the heir. But she’ll probably have her will sealed for 100 years like Philipp did. [/quote]

This. Most of the monarch’s wealth comes from the Duchy of Lancaster, which is now under Charles. And yes the details will not be released. [/quote]

This is incorrect. There is monarchy’s/crown wealth and personal wealth. She has made a fortune just by breeding horses, that was just one of her side gigs. Andrew and her other kids will be well taken care of without needing to rely on Charles. That’s why Harry is hanging around too.[/quote]

I didn’t say all, I said bulk and that is 100% true. The others will get peanuts in comparison to Charles. Not saying they will be destitute. The adult kids will be fine for their remaining days - they are already 70’s and 60’s.  The grandkids (apart from William) will get something, but not enough to set then up for life with no need for additional income. [/quote]
That’s why Anne’s kids have always worked. And Edward and Sophie have said they are raising their children with the expectation that they will need to work. Or marry well.[/quote]

Anne was intelligent enough to give her kids the freedom to do what they chose with their lives. Everyone has to work, 73 year old King Charles has been flying around the country and attending engagements non stop for the past 4 days with little time to mourn his parent. That’s brutal.[/quote]

He seems happy.[/quote]

Not a particular fan of Charles, or of continuing the monarchy, but that’s a crass thing to say. The royal family’s job is to help the country mourn their sovereign. It must be incredibly challenging to go out with a smile on one’s face and comfort the public over the death of someone who was symbolic to them, while the family privately mourns someone who meant so much more to them.

She was also 96. I am Jewish and when someone dies, friends and family make shiva calls. When the deceased is an elderly person with a life well lived- a sad and inevitable, but not shocking or tragic death- the shiva calls are not as morbid. There are smiles, there is conversation. Charles and the family have always known this day would come, and surely that level of preparation has helped them fulfill their roles here.[/quote]

He has broken out in tears on multiple occasions over the past few days, all caught on camera. So yes, while she lived a long life and they knew the end was coming, the loss of such a long personal relationship is very painful.[/quote]

Yes they keep saying and showing he cried, but I have not yet seen one tear or teary eye.[/quote]

If he doesn't cry in front of you than it doesn't exist eh?  Well here it is...

I see no tears. [/quote]

What can I say?  You aren't going to see American crying but, he is crying. Sorry your eye prescription is off.[/quote]

+1  There are many men who were brought up not to cry in front of others. Shame on you for judging his grief based on the presence/absence of tears in public. [/quote]

How can Americans be so clueless as to imagine that the the new King of England is going to blubber away, face streaked with tears in some grotesque display. The stiff upper lip is a British convention.

Not everyone has to behave as though they are on Oprah or being interviewed by Barbara Walters.[/quote]

+1 exactly[/quote]

When each of my parents died, it was expected and I wasn't really sobbing. When my dog died, it was a different matter. Strange how that is.[/quote]
