Prince Harry can enjoy a million-dollar sum
In approximately two months, Prince Harry will celebrate his 40th birthday. Although he is no longer an official member of the British Royal Family, he will still receive his share from his grandmother's trust fund.
Shortly, Prince Harry will turn 40 years old. Unlike his brother William, who only received a solemn bell concert at Westminster Abbey and certainly some gifts on that occasion, Harry will receive more than eight million Euros paid out on that day. His late 2002 grandmother, Queen Mum, had arranged this in her lifetime.
According to the British newspaper "The Times," the Queen Mother once deposited a proud 70 million pounds into a trust fund for her family. A condition attached to it states that Harry can claim his share when he turns 40. So, it's on the 15th of September.
Harry receives more than William
As the British "Mirror" writes, Harry is even expected to receive more money than his brother, who is provided for in other ways. "William will benefit significantly from the considerable wealth of the Duchy of Cornwall, a private estate that finances the public, charitable, and private activities of the heir to the throne," the article states. "Therefore, Harry is likely to receive more than half of the 14 million pounds allocated for the two brothers."
With the earnings that Harry and his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, have already made through their Netflix docu-series and various other projects, experts estimate the net worth of the ex-Royals to be around 60 million dollars, or more than 55 million Euros.
Since Harry and Meghan gave up their roles as high-ranking members of the British Royal Family and moved to the USA, they are no longer acknowledged with birthday posts on the royal social media channels and the usual bell ceremony. According to the magazine "People," this honor is now only granted to a few members of the royal family: King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Kate. For Charles, the bells ring twice a year: on his actual birthday on November 14 and during the Trooping-the-Colour ceremony, which also celebrates his birthday in the summer.
Despite no longer being an official member of the British Royal Family, Prince Harry will still receive a significant portion of his late grandmother's trust fund on his 40th birthday, surpassing the amount received by his brother William. The British monarchy, led by Queen Elizabeth II, has a tradition of announcing birthday celebrations for certain royal family members, although this privilege is now limited to a select few, such as Prince William and his wife, Princess Kate.
