On September 15, Prince Harry is set to mark his 40th birthday with a notable financial surprise—an $8.5 million inheritance from the late Queen Elizabeth.
This generous gift is part of a $90 million trust fund established by the Queen Mother specifically for the royal family. Harry’s portion was designated to be released upon his 40th birthday, acknowledging his place within the royal lineage despite recent family tensions.
However, not all family members are reportedly pleased with this development. Sources suggest that Prince William and Princess Kate are less than thrilled about Harry’s windfall. There are rumors that William is particularly upset, feeling that his brother is receiving millions “without lifting a finger,” especially considering the ongoing strains in their relationship.
This difference in opinion underscores the complexities within the royal family, where financial and personal matters often intersect.
Interestingly, Harry’s inheritance is set to surpass that of his brother, Prince William, due to William’s considerable wealth from the Duchy of Cornwall, which funds his public and private endeavors.
Although Harry will receive just over half of the £14 million allocated to both brothers, he will also be responsible for paying taxes on his share.
This significant birthday gift not only marks a major milestone for Prince Harry but also highlights the ongoing dynamics within the royal family. The inheritance will undoubtedly influence Harry’s future, while also serving as a reminder of the underlying tensions that continue to impact the family.
