Prince Harry had to wait longer than his late mother, Princess Diana, had wished for him to receive his inheritance.

The Duke of Sussex was just 12 years old when his mother tragically passed away in a car crash in Paris in 1997.

Prior to her untimely death, Diana had carefully documented her final wishes, including what she wanted to leave behind for her sons and when they should inherit it.

Diana had set aside special items for both Prince William and Prince Harry, with one of these items later used by William to propose to Kate.

Her original will, signed on June 1, 1993, and amended in 1996, included provisions for Harry.

The document also named Diana’s mother, Frances Ruth Shand Kidd, and her sister, Lady Elizabeth Sarah Lavinia McCorkadale, as co-executors and trustees of her estate.

In her will, Diana requested that nearly all of her possessions be divided between William and Harry, with the remainder going to her 17 godchildren.

Additionally, she allocated £50,000 to her butler, Paul Burrell.

Reports indicate that Diana intended for the majority of her estate to be placed in a trust, which she wanted her sons to access once they turned 25.

However, the court granted Diana’s mother and sister the authority to make changes to the will.

As a result, the age at which the princes would receive their share was altered, extending it from 25 to 30.

Diana’s iconic wedding dress, worn during her marriage to Prince Charles in 1981, was meant to be gifted to Harry and William when Harry reached the age of 30.

This exquisite garment, adorned with thousands of pearls and silk layers, boasted a train that stretched an impressive 25 feet long.

After being showcased in worldwide exhibitions, the dress was returned to her sons in 2014.

Alongside the dress, the princes were also given other cherished personal mementos that once belonged to their mother.

Earl Spencer, Diana’s brother, took care of these items for a period of time.

The famous dress was even displayed at an exhibition in the United States, with proceeds going towards the Princess of Wales Memorial Fund.

Designer David Emanuel, who created the gown, expressed in 2014 that it had certainly left its mark, having been seen by more people abroad than in Britain.

It is remarkable that, even after all these years, people continue to discuss and admire this iconic piece.
