Crown land in Canada is roughly the same equivalent to federal/public land in the United States. The "crown" is more of a legal concept than a person. Charles just happens to be the one who currently holds based on legal precedence. This does not mean the monarch of Canada (a legally separate entity from the monarch of the UK) can privately dispose the land at their wish, since in a constitutional monarchy they almost always act on advice from (prime) ministers who act as the real heads of governments holding executive power. Most of the land nominally owned by the British royal family around the world are like this, they don't really count towards their net worth since they don't have full control over these lands. The royal family's real income come from other sources than these nominally held lands: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finances_of_the_British_royal_family https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finances_of_the_British_royal_...
