The Duke of Sussex is set to inherit a large amount of money from his late great-grandmother, the Queen Mother, which he can claim when he turns 40 in September
Prince Harry is set to land a whopping £7million in just a few weeks’ time.
The late Queen Mother, Harry’s great-grandmother, had an estimated fortune of £70m which she placed into a trust fund for her family.
The Duke of Sussex is poised to receive a share of £7m and can claim it when he turns 40 on September 15, according to Australian magazine New Idea, citing The Times.
In addition to his hefty earnings from the Netflix deal that he and Meghan signed in September 2020, Harry and his brother William received a significant sum from the tax-exempt Duchy of Cornwall. The most recent estimate of Harry and Meghan’s combined net worth is around $60million (about £46m).
Harry is expected to receive a larger share of the generous inheritance than his older brother, due to the financial arrangements within the Royal Family.
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 £14million allocated for the brothers.
Despite this seemingly enviable sum, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are among the least wealthy in their circle of friends.
George Clooney, who’s being tipped by some Dems as a possible White House contender after Joe Biden’s stunning exit from the race, is reportedly almost 10 times wealthier than Harry and Meghan. He and his high-flying barrister wife Amal are said to be sitting on a cool $560million.
Tyler Perry, the filmmaker rumoured to be Princess Lilibet’s godfather, isn’t short of a bob or two either. He’s so flush he could afford to lend the Sussexes a swanky pad worth a whopping $15 million (£12 million) when they first jetted off to California. He’s reportedly worth a huge $1.4 billion.
Oprah Winfrey, who intervied the Sussexes in an infamous 2021 chat, now reportedly commands a media empire worth billions and has a personal stash totalling an eye-watering $2.8 billion (£2.2 billion).
