The relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry has been the subject of intense scrutiny as reports suggested their bond has reached an all-time low in 2024.

Harry, whose 40th birthday approaches on September 15, will soon have access to a trust fund set up for him by the Queen Mother, which contains a total of £14 million (approximately $17.7 million), $8.5 million of which will go to Harry. The trust fund was designed to benefit both William and Harry, but the Queen Mother had set aside a larger portion for Harry, in recognition of the fact that William would one day inherit the throne.

However, Prince William is far from pleased with the prospect of his younger brother receiving such a substantial financial windfall. The Prince of Wales is reportedly upset that Harry’s going to be cashing out.

While William has no legal recourse to prevent Harry from accessing the funds, the future King of England is deeply uncomfortable with the idea.

“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,” a source told Closer. “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.”

Harry and his wife Meghan Markle made waves when they quit their royal life in 2020. After they moved into their home in Montecito, California, they launched several attacks at Harry‘s estranged relatives, further distancing themselves from the royal family. Thanks to the high-profile projects the couple took on following their departure, their net worth sits comfortably at $60 million.
