Due to powers dating back to medieval times.. Prince Charles’s estate inherits the assets of anyone who dies in Cornwall without a will who have no next of kin or relatives to claim on the estate
Allegedly it is distributed in charitable donations through the Duke of Cornwall’s Benevolent Fund, with a small amount kept in reserve for any future claims on unclaimed estates.
He already owns three fifths of the Cornish foreshore, the beds of navigable rivers & has right of wreck on all ships wrecked on Cornish shores, including those afloat offshore.
He also owns mining rights throughout Cornwall.
