the Crown Estate does command higher rents because of its Royal status so in the hypothetical situation that the Monarchy was abolished I suspect receipts would be affected.
I don't really care, a few million when totted up against everything else we've wasted in the last few years is nothing, but also I suspect that if there's a perceived cachet of paying rent to the Queen then there's a pretty similar perceived cachet of paying rent to whoever manages historically royal land.

Jokes aside, the Crown Estate does command higher rents because of its Royal status so in the hypothetical situation that the Monarchy was abolished I suspect receipts would be affected.
Don't underestimate the perceived cachet of paying rent to the Queen to live on her land.
