In the past 10 years, the monarch has reportedly collected more than $75 million in the funds — despite pledges to donate all proceeds to charity.

what a scoundrel! :D
Omg, since the dawn of man, if you died intestate and you didn't have any relatives, your estate went to the Crown. Talk about a slack news day.

As they say, ignorance is bliss.

well in this supposedly modern day and age, i'd wanna be asked by my government where to send my assets to after my death.
i may well find a charity more worthy than a Royal.

The estate of the deceased goes to the Crown Estate. The Crown Estate is neither the government nor part of the Monarchs private estate, it's the sovereign's public estate. The yearly profits, over £200m, goes to the treasury, the tax payer. The Crown estate pays tax, and employs many people. The Monarchy is a Constitutional Monarch, so it is purely there for tradition and to rubber stamp off government proceedings. So for example, Kings Charles speech was composed and written by the Prime Minister. The Royal Brand brings in millions to the UK. We have complete idiots in the UK about wanting to scrap the Royals because they're utterly clueless on how it all works.

Sorry, but the article in the op was probably written by one of those clueless clowns. Also, that's when a gun nut says, "Bow to your King you subject". So there's clowns on both sides of the pond with the British Monarchy.

If anyone wants to ruled by a Monarchy, then they can move to a country with an Absolute Monarchy.

If you are truly so ignorant that you have not prepared the documents to notify where your assets are to go after your death, what you think is immaterial.

And all such assets go to the State not the Monarchy.

i did do that, but i'd like to see regular government propaganda on the topic, that your estate belongs to the state after your death, if you don't specify a benificiary before your death.
call it a debt of honesty on the state's part.

ok, i'll bite.
what duplicities? :)
For example, using his knowledge and position close to Australia's head of state, ER, to conspire with the Governor General of Australia, Bob Kerr, for Kerr to sack the Prime Minister of Australia, Gough Whitlam.

Whitlam was considered too socialist as well as being deemed to not show enough respect for the shitshow that was the UK and the Windsors.

I suppose the duplicity of marrying whilst continuing to have the mistress he later married could be counted as well.

wasn't that 'just trying to keep the CommonWealth going' though?
 
An aide of his fixing an honour for a Saudi sheik, of which he denies all knowledge, doesn't help.
