Queenie tops the list of the firms most affluent with £1.6BN(and the bleedin rest)fortune ….with Princess Eugenie at the bottom with mere £3.8m to her name.
So Buck House,Sandringham,Balmoral Castle etc, owning vast amounts of land all over the world,the Crown jewels,a golden horse carriage,untold treasuries etc etc etc only adds up to £1.6bn? Somebody cant add it all up,some kind of a mistake surely,but why?

The carriage used in"53 is solid gold and its worth over a billion of its own,so as I say someone has had an error it would seem. The whole thing is solid Gold-do the maths.

In the same way that Boris doesn't own Downing Street/ Chequers.
It's not the same though, is it? The PM is elected and only gets to use those residencies when in office.

The Queen is in Office. She is head of state of UK.
If UK every voted (or had violent revolution) to become a Republic then somebody else would live there (maybe an elected President)

As already pointed out the carriage is not sold gold. Cost about £8k 250 years ago. That amount is worth well over £1m with inflation or £14m if look at relative spending power. Pretty expensive for a "car" . Bot 1) The Queen does not own it & 2) hardly worth billions.
If it was sold it would just go from one museum to another. Hardly going to put a dent in the national debt.

What exactly is she supposed to do with gifts from other countries- sell them on e-bay? Yep that won't cause offence would it.
Apart from Carlton House how many of these gifts does she actually care about?

Giving to charity sounds fine with me - especially if some/all the money raised helps relationship between the two countries.
Or she could just have more visits to countries where head of state has loads of group one winners at a stud farm.
