Inside Prince Harry’s two royal inheritances as he receives last payment on 40th birthday

The Duke of Sussex celebrated his 40th birthday on Sunday and now that he’s reached this new milestone, he is now reportedly entitled to a new fortune.

Prince Harry’s late great-grandmother, the Queen Mother, deposited an estimated £19 million in a trust fund for her great-grandchildren in 1994.

Reports at the time stated that Princes William and Harry would be left around £14 million from the Queen Mother’s estate, with Harry inheriting the bulk of the money, as William will benefit financially by becoming King in future.

As heir to throne, the Prince of Wales is entitled to the surplus profits of the Duchy of Cornwall estate, and in the last financial year, he annual private income of more than £23 million, royal accounts released in July showed.

According to The Telegraph, the two brothers received £6 million between them at 21 and a further £8 million upon turning 40.

William marked his 40th birthday on 21 June 2022, while Harry shared in a statement to the BBC that he was “excited” about reaching the milestone ahead of 15 September.

The Queen Mother’s trust fund isn’t the only fortune Harry has been left.

His mother, Diana, Princess of Wales died in a car crash in Paris in 1997, when Harry was just 12 years old.

The Princess left more than £21 million in her will, but around £8 million was paid in inheritance tax, with the remaining £13 split equally between William and Harry.

Upon reaching their respective 30th birthdays, they were able to inherit the whole of their share of the trust fund.

Diana also left her wardrobe, including her wedding dress, and personal jewellery to her sons.
