On September 15, Prince Harry will celebrate 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 for the royal family, with Harry’s share scheduled to be released on his milestone birthday.
The inheritance is viewed as an acknowledgment of Harry’s role in the royal lineage, despite recent family tensions.
However, not all family members are pleased with this development. Sources suggest that Prince William and Princess Kate are less than thrilled about Harry’s financial boost. William, in particular, is reportedly discontented, feeling that Harry is receiving a substantial sum “without lifting a finger,” which adds to the strains in their relationship.
This situation underscores the broader complexities within the royal family, where financial and personal issues often intersect.
Interestingly, Harry’s inheritance will surpass that of Prince William, who benefits from the significant wealth of the Duchy of Cornwall that supports his various public and private activities.
Harry’s share, just over half of the £14 million allocated to both brothers, will also come with the responsibility of paying taxes.
This birthday gift not only represents a significant milestone for Harry but also highlights the ongoing dynamics and tensions within the royal family. It will undoubtedly influence Harry’s future while reflecting the complex interplay of familial and financial relationships.
