    Why? The worlds richest people aren’t royal, so why would the UKs richest person need to be?

      The British monarchy does have a relatively unique position in having been atop one of the world’s biggest economies for far longer uninterrupted than any other extant royal family. You’d expect them to have amassed more than other royals solely because they’ve had access to far more opportunities to do so. That doesn’t necessarily mean that they’ll have outpaced every other rich family in the UK, but I can see where the person above is coming from

        I can see where they’re coming from, sure. But assuming something with no proof doesn’t make any sense, to me at least.

        I just found it such an odd thing to make an assumption over.
