Prince Harry is about to receive a pretty monumental gift from his great-grandmother beyond the grave.

Before the Queen Mother died in 2002 at the grand old age of 101 - 20 years before her daughter Queen Elizabeth II passed away in 2022 - she put a number of things in place to ensure her family inherited her staggering fortune.

And thanks to these arrangements, one member of the royal family will be getting quite the hefty lump sum from his great-grandmother, according to The Times, as he turns 40-years-old.

39-year-old father-of-two Prince Harry will inherit more than just family heirlooms as he's set to receive a fraction of the Queen Mother's estimated fortune of £70 million, which she placed into a trust fund for her family.

It's been reported that Prince Harry will get a mammoth £7 million share of the riches when he hits the milestone birthday in a few months on 15 September.

He's also expected to receive a larger share of the extremely high inheritance pot than his older brother, Prince William, due to the financial arrangements within the family.

In other royal news, not many know about the royal protocol that separated William and Harry from the age of 12.

The rule in question means that two royal members in succession can't be together when travelling.

The tradition was put in place in case the worst should happen and a plane crashed, it would mean an heir to the throne is protected and keeps the monarchy stable.

The Prince of Wales always travelled with his family including his late mother, father and brother until he turned 12.

King Charles's former pilot, Graham Laurie previously explained to OK! magazine: "We flew all four: the Prince, the Princess, Prince William and Prince Harry, up until Prince William was 12 years old.

"After that, he had to have a separate aircraft and we could only fly all four together when they were young with the written permission of Her Majesty.

"When William became 12, he would fly normally in a 125 from Northolt and we would fly the 146 out with the other three on."

While it isn't set in stone, the unwritten rule has been in place for decades and it isn't just based on superstition, as in the past members of the royal family have died in plane crashes.

In 1937, Prince Philip's sister Princess Cecilie died in an air accident, in 1942 Queen Elizabeth II's uncle Prince George was killed and in 1972 the late Queen's cousin, Prince William of Gloucester died.

However, the travel arrangements are up to the monarch's discretion so King Charles or Prince William could change them at any point if they wanted to.
