King Charles uses ancient law to make big money with ‘Bona Vacantia’ tradition
The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth, But the Elite Will Exploit Every Loophole
It is said that one day, the meek will inherit the earth. However, in the present, the elite are using every trick in the book to snatch it away from them.
An eye-opening investigation by The Guardian has uncovered a shocking secret: King Charles III is quietly amassing wealth by seizing the assets of thousands of individuals in northwest England who passed away without a will.
The Duchy of Lancaster, the hereditary estate of the monarch, traces its origins back to 1265 when Henry III bestowed the baronial lands of Simon de Montfort upon his son, Edmund, as detailed on the Duchy website.
According to the website, Henry III later added the estate of Robert Ferrers, Earl of Derby, in the following year.
Fast forward over 700 years, and it appears that the current king is still expanding his inheritance by acquiring properties from individuals who never intended for him to possess them.
The Guardian’s report reveals that Charles has amassed “tens of millions of pounds” through an ancient feudal law known as bona vacantia.
Revealed: King Charles secretly profiting from the assets of dead citizens.
This money should be going to the public purse for the benefit of people in the North West of England, not the king’s own pocket. Welcome to feudal Britain https://t.co/vAwavJiBAF— nigelpeet (@nigelpeet) November 25, 2023
This controversial inheritance process harks back to medieval times when the Duchy of Lancaster and its dukes held sway over much of North West England. This region was once known as the County Palatine of Lancaster.
Even today, the king’s hereditary estate retains archaic rights to claim unclaimed assets within the modern boundaries of Lancashire, as well as parts of Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Cheshire, and Cumbria.
When residents of these counties pass away without a will or next of kin, their financial assets can end up being transferred to the Duchy of Lancaster under this outdated entitlement.
The Duchy asserts that after deducting expenses, the funds are donated to charities. However, leaked internal documents obtained by The Guardian suggest that only around 15 percent of the money actually goes to charitable causes.
Instead, these funds are being utilized to upgrade and enhance properties owned by Charles throughout the country, including holiday cottages, farms, and commercial buildings. The upgrades involve installing new roofs, windows, boilers, and more to maximize rental profits from these properties.
As a result, Charles receives millions each year from the Duchy’s profits, indirectly boosting his personal income.
The Guardian has identified numerous deceased individuals whose leftover assets have been inherited by the king’s estate. Many of these individuals lived in impoverished conditions prior to their demise.
Friends and family of the deceased are outraged that the funds are being used in this manner instead of being directed towards charitable endeavors, as claimed. A source revealed to The Guardian that duchy staff internally refer to this practice as “free money” or a “slush fund” for the new monarch.
Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the allegations. A representative for The Duchy defended the expenditures as necessary for the “preservation and protection” of their properties for future generations but acknowledged that there may be an “incidental benefit” to King Charles’ income in the process.
Thomas Jefferson believed that nearly every evil plaguing European societies — inequality, oppression, constraints on liberty — could be traced back to the monarch as its root source. In his view, kings bred injustice.
“There is scarcely an evil known in these countries, which may not be traced to their king, as its source, nor a good, which is not derived from the small fibers of republicanism existing among them,” Jefferson wrote.
This scandal is the 21st-century equivalent of a feudal lord “pillaging” the meager belongings of his serfs.
The Crown, exploiting a legal loophole to profit from the funds of the deceased, serves as a stark reminder of why the Founding Fathers severed ties with the British Crown over two centuries ago.

Should the monarchy, an institution that perpetuates inequality and injustice, continue to hold significant power and influence in society
The Meek and the Impoverished
It is a tale as old as time – the meek shall inherit the earth. This age-old wisdom has been passed down through generations, offering hope to those who find themselves at the bottom of the social ladder. However, in today’s world, it seems that the elite will stop at nothing to exploit every loophole and snatch away what rightfully belongs to the meek. In a shocking revelation, The Guardian has uncovered the secret wealth accumulation of King Charles III. The monarch has been quietly amassing wealth by seizing the assets of thousands of individuals in northwest England who passed away without leaving a will. The assets are claimed under an ancient feudal law known as bona vacantia. The Duchy of Lancaster, the hereditary estate of the monarch, traces its origins back to 1265. Over the course of more than 700 years, the estate has expanded, and it appears that the current king is still keen on growing his inheritance by acquiring properties from individuals who never intended for him to possess them. Under the guise of this archaic entitlement, the Duchy claims unclaimed assets within the boundaries of Lancashire and parts of Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Cheshire, and Cumbria. When residents of these counties pass away without a will or next of kin, their assets can end up being transferred to the Duchy of Lancaster. The Duchy asserts that the funds, after deducting expenses, are donated to charities. However, leaked internal documents obtained by The Guardian suggest that only around 15 percent of the money actually goes to charitable causes. Instead, the funds are being used to upgrade properties owned by Charles throughout the country, indirectly boosting his personal income. The beneficiaries of this controversial inheritance process are outraged. They believe that the funds should be directed towards charitable endeavors rather than being used to enhance the king’s properties. The misuse of these funds has been internally referred to as a “free money” or “slush fund” for the new monarch. The allegations raised in The Guardian’s investigation have sparked a wider discussion about the role of the monarchy and its impact on society. Thomas Jefferson once believed that kings were at the root of inequality and injustice. This scandal serves as a stark reminder of why the Founding Fathers severed ties with the British Crown over two centuries ago. This modern-day feudal system, in which the elite exploit legal loopholes to profit from the funds of the deceased, perpetuates and exacerbates existing inequalities. It is a clear manifestation of the power dynamics that allow the wealthy and powerful to continue accumulating wealth at the expense of the meek and impoverished. As we bear witness to this alarming revelation, it is crucial to question the institution that enables such exploitation. We must reconsider the role and purpose of the monarchy in our society. Should an institution that, by its very nature, perpetuates inequality and injustice continue to hold such significant power and influence? The meek may still have hope for inheriting the earth, but unless we challenge and dismantle the systems that allow the elite to exploit every loophole, this hope may remain a distant dream. It is up to us, the citizens, to demand accountability and strive for a more equitable and just society.
