Qatar Royals Now Own More London Property Than King Charles

Qatar Royals Now Own More London Property Than King Charles

The Qatari royal family, the Al-Thanis, now own more property in London than King Charles.

Unlike the King, whose holdings are held in trust, the Al-Thanis' investments are private or state-owned.

They own a vast amount of land, including a significant portion of Mayfair, Harrods, and several luxury hotels.

Their influence extends to major businesses like The Shard, Canary Wharf, Heathrow Airport, and Sainsbury's.

This gradual accumulation of assets has led to their growing influence in London, surpassing that of the British monarchy in terms of land ownership.
