Prince Harry Set to Inherit Millions of Dollars Next Month: What This Major Financial Windfall Means for His Future and His Role in the Royal Family-nhung

Best 40th birthday gift ever, tbh.

Due to the fact that he’s casually royalty and whatnot, Prince Harry is…rich. And he’s about to get even richer thanks to a pretty major inheritance coming his way when he turns 40, which happens to be in just a few weeks on September 15. Curious to know more/deeply jealous? Same!

Turns out, Prince Harry’s great-grandmother, the Queen Mother (aka Queen Elizabeth’s mom, also named Queen Elizabeth) decided to leave a sizable amount of money to her great-grandchildren…which makes sense considering there wasn’t exactly an urgent need to leave it to her daughter QEII seeing as she was the richest person in England at the time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Point is, the Queen Mother set up a trust fund for her great-grandkids in 1994, placing £19 million (or about two-thirds of her money) into an account for them. Per the Guardian, Harry and William split around £6 million of this trust at age 21—but it wasn’t exaaaactly an even split. IRL, the “bulk” went to Harry since the Queen Mother wanted to “compensate” him “for not becoming sovereign.” Fair enough, honestly, since Prince William is set to inherit all the wealth that comes with the crown!

Meanwhile, the brothers reportedly also got to split another £8 million of the trust when they turned 40. Prince William is already 42, but—assuming nothing has changed since this trust was put in place—Prince Harry is set to inherit his share in just a few weeks!

As for the remainder of the money in the trust, that goes to Prince William and Prince Harry’s cousins—aka the kids of Princess Anne, Princess Andrew, and Prince Edward.

The more ya know!
