A Guide To Queen Elizabeth’s Homes by Cigarorealtyltd: 5:17pm On Sep 19, 2022
The Queen has home for just about every occasion (Balmoral for the summer, Sandringham for Christmas...). Some of these properties came with the title, while others came from inheritance. Here, a guide to the Queen's six royal and private dwellings.

[/b]1.The Headquarters: Buckingham Palace[b]

Crown-owned, the palace—located in the City of Westminster—belongs to the ruling monarch at the time, a tradition that dates back to 1837. It has a total of 775 rooms, including 19 State rooms, 52 Royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices, and 78 bathrooms. Visitors can actually tour a number of the state rooms inside the palace during specific times of the year.

[/b]2. The Country Home: Windsor Castle[b]

The Queen moved here first with her sister, Margaret, during WWII for safety reasons. Today, the Queen frequents this location on weekends, and it serves as a country home of sorts, not far from her London home base. As with Buckingham Palace, Windsor is Queen Elizabeth's home for as long as she is ruling monarch. It spans 13 acres and boasts 1,000 rooms, making it the largest occupied castle in the world.

[/b]3. The Scottish Residence: Holyrood Palace[b]

The Edinburgh palace is the Queen's official residence in Scotland, and hosts her when she travels north, typically the first week of the summer—an event known as "Holyrood Week." It was originally founded as a monastery in 1128.

[/b]4. The Summer Home: Balmoral Castle[b]

Balmoral is a private estate owned by the Queen. It's where she spends many weeks at the end of each summer, and is believed to be her favorite residence.

[/b]5. The Holiday Home: Sandringham Estate[b]
A beloved private home for the Queen, sandringham, is often used for entertaining during the holidays. It's well-known for hosting the royals' annual walk to Christmas Day services at St. Mary Magdalene church.

[/b]6. The Irish Residence: Hillsborough Castle[b]

Similar to how the Queen stays at Palace of Holyroodhouse when officially visiting Scotland, the Queen dwells in Hillsborough during her visits to Northern Ireland. It is also the official residence of Northern Ireland's Secretary of State. Built in the 1770s, the home is surrounded by 100 acres of lush green gardens.

[/b]What is Queen Elizabeth II’s net worth?[b]

The Queen is estimated to be personally worth at least £427million, according to Forbes.
The publication estimates the entire British monarchy is worth around £72billion.
This cash comes mostly from the Duchy of Lancaster which is made up of 18,454 hectares of land in England and Wales.
The Queen is also believed to have her own private investments, jewels, cars, horses and royal and historic items of value.

[/b]How has the Queen made her fortune?[b]

Real estate and land ownership all contribute towards the monarch’s fortune.
Her impressive building portfolio boasts both Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle.
According to Forbes, Lenka Duskova from real estate agency Luxent values these two properties at around £80million combined.
While these estates are the jewels in Her Majesty’s crown, she also holds agricultural land across the nation, as well as lavish buildings in the capital.

Of course the Balmoral Castle is her majesty's favourite. Historical sites indeed but they all depicts the relics of where the British empire stayed to alter the course of civilization by colonising other weaker nations.

What about tax money she got from her protectorates e.g Scotland, Australia Wales, etc. The queen own 1/3 of total land of the world. She is just mother sucker.
