Horses inherited by King Charles have sold for a million pounds.
King Charles has earned more than a million pounds, or about 1.1 million euros, after selling the trotting horses he inherited from Queen Elizabeth, says The Sun.
Charles inherited a set of horses from his mother after the Queen’s death on 8 September. During her lifetime, Queen Elizabeth was known as a great lover of horses.
Horses were sold at the Tattersalls auction for anywhere from £4,000 to £300,000.
Charles’ horses have already been successful in competitions. The best result has been brought by Perfect Alibi, with whose victory the king earned £28,000.
Immediately after the Queen’s death, Charles inherited the Swans of Great Britain. He also inherited, among other things, his mother’s Ascot galloping track and Sandringham stables, as well as a prize bull.
Elizabeth’s actual will remains secret for 90 years. It is sealed and stored in a safe. The practice protects members of the royal family.
