The ruling Al Thani family<\/a> of Qatar <\/a>has become one of the most powerful landowners in London, quietly outpacing even King Charles III in terms of private property holdings.<\/p>\n While the British monarch<\/a>\u2019s portfolio includes iconic landmarks like the Tower of London<\/a> and Hampton Court Palace, these are held in trust for the nation through the Crown Estate and are not personally owned. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Qatari royals, however, face no such limitations, their property investments are private or state-owned, and their reach now spans the capital.<\/p>\n The Al Thani family\u2019s London portfolio is vast and growing. They reportedly own a quarter of northwest Mayfair, a district now dubbed \u201cLittle Doha.\u201d <\/p>\n Among their crown jewels is Harrods, the world-famous department store. Through their Maybourne Hotel Group, the family also owns several of the city\u2019s most exclusive hotels, Claridge\u2019s, The Connaught, The Berkeley, and the newly opened Emory.<\/p>\n Beyond luxury real estate and hospitality, their presence stretches into the skyline and infrastructure. The family owns a 95% stake in The Shard, Europe\u2019s tallest building, and is a co-owner of Canary Wharf, one of London\u2019s primary business hubs. <\/p>\n Their influence extends to transport and retail as well, with a 20% stake in Heathrow Airport and 14.3% ownership of Sainsbury\u2019s, one of the UK\u2019s leading supermarket chains.<\/p>\n Backed by an estimated family net worth of $335 billion, their wealth ranks among the highest of any royal family in the world. Much of this fortune stems from Qatar\u2019s immense natural gas reserves and strategic global investments.<\/p>\n The Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, is personally estimated to be worth over $2 billion. With deep financial resources and a long-term investment strategy, the Qatari royals are set to remain key players in London\u2019s future<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.financialexpress.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The ruling Al Thani family of Qatar has become one of the most powerful landowners in London, quietly outpacing even King Charles III in terms of private property holdings.
