I never could stand that little twerp.

So, if there are no heirs, it goes to the government. Is that any different than here?

[dforest]

This could make me hope Markle gives him some more pains in the arse. LOL

Poor UK. From an amazing, strongly Christian Queen, to this dullard! God help the UK!

Life under a monarchy.

Thanks Pilgrims. Thank you revolutionary war heroes. Thank you founding fathers.

[Pete Dovgan]

We are shocked by this because we don’t have Royalty and never had a feudal system.

Dead people, with no family, assets are taken by the State. In England, it belongs to the State as well, but his rivalry that is the ruling monarch. The Ruling monarch controls Lancaster Castle (war of the Roses stuff).

I don’t see a problem with this.

[fuzzylogic]

Yes, this guy is the lefty you probably think he is. Surprise...instead of being generous with out peoples money, this one is actually TAKING the money the is for charity and using it to enrich himself.

He is an arrogant king and a shadow of his mother.

If Charles is doing it, the Queen did it.

If I went on state health care, the state would assume on my assets when I die.

Same difference.

Governments gather gold, that’s what they do.

By not having a will or a trust, you’re inviting the State into your financial and family business. We set up in our will that if anything were to happen to my wife and I, our estate and kids would go to my sister and BIL. Since they both are professionals, the likelihood of the State deciding different is minimized. Without the will, the State would decide what’s “best” for our assets and kids.

I wonder if most people know what happens to money in abandoned accounts in the US?

It’s held by the state. Until someone comes for it.

[Varda]

IMO there’s a big difference between abandoned assets confiscated by local/state elected governments and a monarchy.
Thank God for the American revolution.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

The Guardian is a communist news rag. Of course they oppose the monarchy.

[DesertRhino]

They should have beheaded that bunch of royals a few centuries back.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

You do realize that this is what happens to people in the US who die without a will right?

The money goes to the state.

[Chode]

It’s good to be da King...
