In a recent op-ed published by the New Zealand Herald, royal commentator Daniella Eisler suggests that Prince Harry may have been completely left out of his father’s will, just as Prince Andrew reportedly received nothing from the late Queen Elizabeth’s will.
Eisler argues that these two instances highlight a pattern of bad news for the royal family when it comes to wills.
Eisler points to reports stating that Prince Andrew did not inherit anything from Queen Elizabeth’s will as an indication of what Prince Harry might face.
She also highlights a significant decision made by Elizabeth in the early 1990s, where she ensured that money passing directly from one sovereign to another would not be subject to the hefty 40% inheritance tax.
This decision has potential implications for Prince Harry, as it means his brother, Prince William, could potentially inherit everything from their father, King Charles.
This inheritance situation further widens the already existing gap between Prince William and Prince Harry.
Eisler remarks that the irony lies in the fact that Harry is in greater need of financial support, having distanced himself from the palace.
However, Eisler suggests that Harry could still receive financial assistance without inheriting from Charles, similar to the settlement provided by Elizabeth for Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward during her lifetime.
This settlement allowed them to receive a percentage of the Queen’s income to fund their official duties.
The issue of inheritance has the potential to exacerbate the rift between Prince Harry and the royal family, which has been widely reported.
While the contents of King Charles’ will remain unknown, Eisler’s commentary implies that Harry may not be in line for a significant inheritance.
In recent years, Prince Harry has made headlines for his decision to step back from royal duties and relocate to the United States with his wife, Meghan, and their son, Archie.
The couple has since welcomed a daughter and embarked on various business ventures, including a production deal with Netflix and a podcast series with Spotify.
Despite their departure from the royal family, Harry and Meghan continue to attract significant media attention, with their relationship with the British press being a contentious issue.
As the royal family transitions under the reign of King Charles, the matter of inheritance and financial support for family members becomes increasingly important.
While the future of Prince Harry’s relationship with his brother and father remains uncertain, Eisler’s commentary indicates that inheritance will likely play a significant role in the ongoing drama surrounding the royal family.
