Prince Harry Will Receive $8.5 Million From Grandmother’s Trust Fund On His 40th Birthday – More Than Brother Prince William

As his 40th birthday approaches, Prince Harry is preparing for an influx of cash that was left to him by his late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

The former Queen put $90 million into a trust fund before her death, noting that Harry would be able to access his share upon turning 40. Harry will inherit some of his fortune – $8.5 million – on Sept. 15, though he will need to pay taxes on his future commercial earnings.

Harry’s gift differs greatly from the one his older brother, Prince William, received on his 40th birthday, which was a ceremonial bell concert at Westminster Abbey. As heir to the throne, William will receive less money from a different estate.

“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,” a source told the Mirror. “As a result, Harry is likely to receive slightly more than half of the £14 million ($18 million) allocated for the brothers.”

Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have found great financial success since their exit from the royal family in 2020, as Harry’s book deal and the couple’s tell-alls have brought them immense fame and money.

Harry made headlines earlier this month after being recognized at the ESPYs with the Pat Tillman Service Award, a decision that many, including Tillman’s mom, disagreed with.
