Despite being the sovereign of the United Kingdom, King Charles III has been overtaken by another royal family when it comes to land ownership in London.

Fresh data from a GB News report suggests that the British monarch’s personal hold over the capital is significantly smaller than that of another reigning dynasty.

What Charles Still Controls

This shift doesn’t mean King Charles has lost any of his iconic residences. Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, St James’s Palace, Hampton Court Palace, and the Tower of London all remain under the authority of the Crown Estate.

These properties are not privately owned by the King but are held by the sovereign in trust for the nation.
