This huge inheritance, which was bequeathed to Prince Harry on the occasion of his 40th birthday, is much more important than the inheritance of Prince William.

An exceptional gift for an exceptional day. This Sunday, September 15, Prince Harry will celebrate his 40th birthday. An event that will not be limited to celebrations but will also mean the payment of a huge inheritance. The Queen Mother’s great-granddaughter, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, is set to inherit a significant sum of money. This is the latter’s fortune, which was set aside before his death in 2002 at the age of 101, for his great-grandchildren, amounting to approximately 19 million euros. Hence a tidy sum divided among his eight heirs. Prince Harry should receive about 7 million. Under the terms of her will, the Queen Mother specified, however, that this inheritance would be available at two important times in their lives: the first part is given at the age of 21 and the second at the age of 40. Among the many bequeathed possessions are jewelry, works of art, racehorses, and an expensive collection of Fabergé eggs.

More from William

The amount Prince Harry is getting, however, is far more than what his older brother Prince William received for his 40th birthday. Kate Middleton’s husband is the first in succession to benefit from his status in the fortunes of the Duchy of Cornwall; an advantage that Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon would decide to give more to the youngest, “forever second.” Moreover, this money comes at the right time for Harry, who has been in exile in California since 2020 with his wife Meghan Markle and his children Lilibeth and Archie. After tensions between him and his family, he abdicated his royal duties, now living. From its contracts with Netflix and Spotify (in particular), albeit lucrative ones. However, the couple face huge costs, including maintaining their luxury villa in Montecito, as well as annual security costs estimated at two million euros, and are reportedly struggling to keep afloat.

Their migration to the USA and their behavior in recent years also angered the British and the Windsors. The couple has been at odds with the latter, particularly Prince William and King Charles III, especially after their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021. At the presenter’s microphone, Meghan and Harry accused the royal family of racism towards Archie. child In 2022, a documentary mini-series on Netflix reignited the fire, and Harry’s autobiography was finally published. Spare (The substitute), had worsened the situation in 2023.

Some have since said Prince Harry would like to reconnect. Meanwhile, no pictures have appeared in the press with her brother, Prince William, nor her father, King Charles III. However, one thing is certain: the money received by the great grandmother will do her great good.
