Yes we do - QEII had the exact same arrangement - so did George VI - and V - and Edward VII - and Victoria - and so on. Escheat goes back to the early Common Law, and wrt the Duchy to the 14th century. As the direct holder of the duchy, the property of intestates w/ no heirs reverts to the original holder, the monarch.

The exact same thing is the law in almost every state of the USA. Don't know about Louisiana because their law is weird, but unless escheat has been abolished in the state constitution, it's still the law. Usually here there's a "grace period" to reclaim the property if an heir shows up.
