The Royal Famly has an impressive array of possessions including jewels and places but did you know about the McDonald's in Buckinghamshire?
The fast food restaurant at MK1 Shopping and Leisure Park, on Stadium Way sits on land that forms part of the Crown Estate, which belongs to the reigning monarch - King Charles III.
The McDonald's is not the only royal asset as the entirety of MK1 Shopping and Leisure Park is managed by the Crown Estate.
This means King Charles also 'owns' a Card Factory, Waitrose, KFC and M&S.
The retail park is one of only two sites managed by the Crown Estate in Buckinghamshire.
The other is ten minutes down the road on Fen Street as Magna Park is also part of the Crown Estate.
The business park is home to a giant John Lewis distribution centre.
Crown Estate assets and land are not the private property of the monarch, meaning they cannot be sold by King Charles and he does not receive revenue from them.
Under the Crown Estate Act of 1961, the estates are managed by a board who have a duty to maintain and enhance their value.
Private landlords pass on their profits to the Treasury each year.
A portion of this is allocated to the Royal Family through the Sovereign Grant.
