Prince Harry is turning 40 on September 15. He is preparing to receive a big birthday gift courtesy of Queen Elizabeth who made this arrangement. This inheritance should amount to about $8.5 million dollars.
The late Queen Mother opened a $90 million trust fund for the royal family. She stipulated that Harry would receive his share when he turned 40.
It has been reported by Closer that Prince William and Princess Kate do not feel Harry deserves the money. “William’s pretty disgusted that once again Harry’s going to be cashing out and taking millions back to his Montecito home without lifting a finger for it,” the inside source said.
“There’s nothing he can do about it, aside from shaking his head, but if it were up to him, Harry would not be getting this payday.”
“William doesn’t think his brother is in any position to be getting this handout and he’s letting it be known that he thinks it’s a pretty rotten situation,” the source continued.
William feels Harry is “being rewarded after the terrible treatment he’s shown them all.”
“William and Kate don’t trust Harry or Meghan one bit, so the idea that Harry’s now cashing in on his great-granny’s inheritance leaves a very bitter taste in their mouths,” the source concluded.
Per the mirror, Harry will receive more of the trust than Prince William. “As the next in line to the throne, William will benefit from the vast wealth of the Duchy of Cornwall, a private estate that funds the public, charitable and private activities of the King’s heir. As a result, Harry is likely to receive slightly more than half of the £14 million allocated for the brothers.”
Harry will have to pay tax on the money. Currently, Harry and Meghan’s net worth has been estimated at about $60 million.
