The Crown Estate has sued Twitter for alleged unpaid rent for their London headquarters in the United Kingdom, according to the BBC.
The Estate, which manages the King’s property portfolio, filed a claim against Twitter in London’s High Court last week.
The alleged arrears, according to a BBC report yesterday, related to office space near Piccadilly Circus in central London.
The social media giant has yet to respond to the estate’s allegation.
The allegation emerged as the latest challenge for Elon Musk, the world’s second richest man, as the company’s global workforce of around 7,000 was reduced.
Musk paid $44 billion (£36 billion) for Twitter in October of last year, and he has faced numerous challenges since then.
The Estate has taken legal action after previously contacting Twitter about rental arrears for office space on Air Street.
The Estate is one of the UK’s largest landowners and an independent commercial enterprise that generates revenue for the Treasury to fund government spending.
The monarch is then granted 15% of the estate’s annual surplus, known as the Sovereign Grant, to support official duties.
Among other things, it owns 10 million square feet of property in London’s West End, as well as the seabed around England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
