As the world mourns Queen Elizabeth II, the new King Charles will inherit interests in properties across the country.
Among them is Aintree Shopping Park, for which the Crown Estate, the agency which controls property officially owned by the monarch, paid £101.5m in 2010. The Crown Estate’s £13bn in assets are not his personal property but held by the monarchy “in right of the crown” and all of its profits are returned to the Treasury.
The retail park plays host to fashion brands, restaurants and food retailers including McDonald's, Nando's, Next and Greggs and welcomes millions of visitors each year. It's one of a number of properties and areas of land which fall within the Crown Estate.
