Just because it is called Crown Land does not mean it is the property of King Charles III.
That is like suggesting that Donald Trump owns the White House. The White House is associated with the POTUS just as the Crown Land is associated with the office of the Crown. Either way, it is run by the government.
Oh, and is there any Crown Land at all in the USA?
Sandringham and Balmoral are owned by the Monarch, the other royal abodes such as Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace are owned by the crown estate. This estate is part of government but not managed by them, it is controlled by a trust set up centuries ago in the time of George III. Remember him my US frens?

Yes, there is "The Crown" and there is also "The Crown Estate". George III used to own what is now The Crown Estate but he gave it up in exchange for a guarantee a fixed annual payment, known as the Civil List, to fund the monarchy in perpetuity.
Many in the UK think the Civil List is just paid from taxes but that is not strictly true. The Crown Estate generates income.
Here is a link detailing The Crown. It says that The Crown has, however, no single accepted definition. The term has been used to describe a physical object or as an alternative way of referring to the monarch in their personal or official capacity. At its most expansive, the Crown has been taken as a proxy for “the government” or what in other countries would be known as “the State”.
It generates a lot of income, around £1.1 billion, not counting its portfolio of £16 billion, and the royals get around £55 million of this and pay taxes on it.
THEN what is ALL that locked up land called and under whose jurisdiction is it ?
Which locked up land do you mean and why would you think that if I knew something was not true then I would know what was?
For instance, I know the largest prime number ever discovered is not 7 but I don't know what it is.

I think the crown is a separate thing that the figurehead that is dangled for public consumption. I think the crown is the deep state Charles is the meat puppet in the supposed top job at the moment. I think the Ds isn’t sure of William and that’s why the media is always trying to take him down. They can’t be sure of him, so they want him to go feck it and abdicate so they can put harry the idiot and Markel in
But it wouldn't be Harry. William has children.
Exactly. William apparently cannot abdicate on behalf of his children so even if he wanted to walk away he’d just be putting his children in the firing line if he did
