Prince Harry is set to receive a substantial inheritance from his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother, amounting to £7 million. This windfall, anticipated just ahead of his 40th birthday, underscores the intricate financial web of the royal family.
The late Queen Mother, known for her extensive fortune estimated at £70 million, allocated a portion of this wealth into a trust for her descendants. According to reports from Australian magazine New Idea, citing The Times, Prince Harry will soon be able to claim his share of this substantial sum.
This financial boon comes in addition to Harry’s earnings from his and Meghan’s notable Netflix deal, signed in 2020, and other familial financial assets.
The distribution of this inheritance is expected to favor Harry over his elder brother William, reflecting the differing financial arrangements within the royal hierarchy.
Despite these considerable assets, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are noted for being among the less affluent in their social circle, which includes affluent figures like Oprah Winfrey.
This inheritance marks a significant financial milestone in Prince Harry’s journey, one that continues to intrigue observers both within and outside royal circles.
