I thought of the Duke of Westminster. But then i got no clue what he owns other Westminster itself. He's probably one of the richest though.

Church of England, visit this link and go through the Counties. I would also say that Oxford and Cambridge Universities, outside of Government Departments, are going to be up there, but not as big. Duke of Westminster would be in terms of wealth but not acreage.

I am sure it is the Church on the basis of size, but The Duke of Westminster owns most of London, so I think his land is worth the most, and I should imagine that his property, Soho, Mayfair, most of Park Lane, Oxford Street etc etc, is worth more than the immediate Royal Family's.

they're the royal kinfolk of the united kingdom, not England. the united kingdom is a united states with 4 constituent international locations - England, Scotland, Wales and northerly eire - only like the USA of a is a united states with 50 constituent states. We initially began to connect at the same time as one united states in 1603, while King James VI of Scotland inherited the English throne, starting to be king of the two. A century later we unitied politically to boot, starting to be a single United united states. on account that then there has purely been a British royal kinfolk, not an English or Scottish one, and to be frank, it is amazingly insulting and stressful to the Scots, Welsh and northerly Irish for human beings to consistently call our united states "England" or this is institutions "English". there is particularly actually no such guy or woman or identify as "Queen of britain".

At the last count, the Catholic church, closely followed by the Duke of Westminster, I think.

Either the Church Of England or the Ministry Of Defence.
I'm pretty certain I heard that on QI, but can't remember for sure.
