Why Prince Harry will receive significantly bigger gift than Prince William from Queen Mother beyond the grave

Prince Harry is set to get an astonishing sum of money from the Queen Mother beyond the grave - and it's said to be significantly bigger than what his brother will receive.

It's not everyday that you're set to inherit millions of pounds on your birthday, most of us just enjoy a bit of cake and maybe splash out on a few drinks with the girls.

But not for the royals - and it seems as though Prince Harry will receive the present of all presents on his upcoming special birthday.

Before the Queen Mother passed away in 2002 at the age of 101, just 20 years prior to the death of her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II, she set out a number of things that would ensure her wealth was carried forward.

And Prince Harry is reportedly about to get his hands on a chunk of it.

The dad-of-two is set to turn 40 on 15 September, and a hefty present from his late great-grandmother is said to be coming his way.

The Queen Mother left an estimated fortune of around £70 million, which she placed in a trust fund for her family.

And 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.

And the gift could become a controversial topic among the public as he is reportedly expected to receive a larger share of the inheritance pot than his older brother, Prince William, due to the financial arrangements within the family.

But as we know, Prince William isn't exactly scraping pennies together - as heir to the throne, he has a lot of added luxuries that Harry doesn't.

William will in turn benefit from the tax-exempt Duchy of Cornwall, which is a private estate that funds the majority of his family's life.

The hefty sum of money will likely be welcomed by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who already have an estimated net worth of around over £46 million.

And this largely boosted due to several projects they have worked on as a couple since moving to the US in 2020.

Including that Oprah Winfrey interview, a tell-all Netflix series, Harry's memoir Spare, and more.
