Yes! Same for the Duchy of Cornwall, which the Prince of Wales gets. When Liz was Heir Presumptive, she did not get income from the DoC, since she was never PoW, which is a title that only goes to the eldest male son of the monarch.
The lines between personal and private property are pretty well known as Parliament and the Palace had to sort it out when Eddie the 8th abdicated. The queen's father actually had to buy back Balmoral and Sandringham for example, since that is private property. But most other things, like the art, jewels, and most of the palaces (Buck house, Windsor), go along with being sovereign.
