The profits from those estates is really our money because those estates were once land owned in common by the British people, later to be stolen by force by the ancestors of the people who own it now. Another point is that those estates are run very inefficiently by people just playing around with their ill-gained power. The profits are shamefully low, and would be far greater were the land to be run efficiently by people with real personal investment in it, instead of by rich playboys who are far more interested in horses, foxes, grouse and pheasants than they are in real people.
