The late Queen Elizabeth’s will has unveiled the inheritance details for each member of the royal family.
Starting with Prince Harry, it was disclosed in 2021 that he did not receive any part of the $100 million left by his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother.
However, upon Princess Diana’s passing, Harry and his brother, William, inherited a portion of their mother’s estate when they turned 25, amounting to approximately $10 million each, as reported by Forbes.
In a revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, Harry shared that he utilized the trust from his mother to sustain himself and his family after being financially cut off by his father, Prince Charles, at the beginning of 2020, following their departure from the British royal family and relocation to the United States.
“I had to afford security for us,” Harry expressed, emphasizing the significance of his inheritance in supporting their new life.
Despite Diana’s will stipulating that her estate would be divided between William and Harry upon reaching 25 years old, the funds were held until they turned 30, according to Us Weekly.
Nevertheless, the brothers were still able to accrue interest on their trust funds earlier on.
Alongside being the primary heirs of Diana’s estate, the late princess also designated other beneficiaries to share her wealth, including her butler, Paul Burrell, and 17 godchildren, as detailed by Worthy.
Turning to Meghan Markle, it was confirmed by representatives in 2021 that she did not inherit any portion of the $100 million left by the Queen Mother, as stated by Forbes.
Radar Online further highlighted that there is a likelihood that the Queen did not leave valuable jewels to either Harry or Meghan, given their departure from the royal family.
The source mentioned, “It’s not surprising, since they’re not members of the royal family anymore, but it would be a real slap in the face.”
Additionally, it was reported that Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, might pass on some of her jewels from the Queen to her niece, Lilibet, while Meghan was not considered in this decision.
Regarding Prince Andrew, BBC disclosed in September 2022 that he and Sarah Ferguson inherited two of the Queen’s corgis, Mewick and Sandy, which were initially gifted to Her Majesty by Andrew and his daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, in 2021.
These corgis are set to return to reside at Royal Lodge with the Duke and Duchess of York, showcasing the enduring bond between the Duchess and the Queen over their shared love for dog walking and horse riding.
Princess Anne, along with her brothers Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, inherited a portion of the Sovereign Grant, now under the ownership of their eldest brother, King Charles III, as per I24 News.
The exact extent of Anne’s share remains undisclosed, but reports hint at a potential new royal title for her due to her significant role in the events surrounding the Queen’s funeral in September 2022, underscoring her prominence within the royal family.
