Reports indicate that Prince Harry was the primary recipient of this trust, receiving a larger share compared to Prince William. The reason for this difference in inheritance could be attributed to what the princes are expected to inherit in the future. As the first in line to the throne, the Prince of Wales is set to inherit substantial royal assets and resources when he becomes king. On the other hand, being the younger brother and fifth in line to the throne, Harry isn't as high up in the line of succession.
However, some people question the accuracy of the story regarding the Queen Mother's will. With six grandchildren and approximately 11 great-grandchildren at the time of her passing, it's likely that all the great-grandchildren would have been provided for similarly to William and Harry. The latter two would have naturally been expected to benefit from the king or Prince of Wales duchies, similar to Prince Andrew. Additionally, they would have had access to free grace and favor accommodation. It's possible that Princess Margaret's grandchildren may have been given priority.
Considering the UK's inheritance taxes and reports about the Queen Mother's financial situation at the time, any assistance she provided to her grandchildren may have been in the form of a living quest. Over the course of 20 years, it's probable that this assistance has been used up. It's important to note that Harry didn't receive any money directly from his great-grandmother or grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. Queen Elizabeth II is believed to have left an estate worth approximately $782 million solely to her son, King Charles. The inheritance from his mother will not be taxed due to the exemption of money transferred from monarch to monarch.
It is speculated that the late queen didn't leave any inheritance to Prince Harry while he was still married to Meghan. The queen was likely aware that any money earmarked for Harry would be absorbed into Meghan's financial affairs. All assets were passed directly to Charles, following the traditional succession pattern expected to continue with William and eventually George. This succession model ensures the preservation of the royal family's wealth over time.
Whatever funds Prince Harry possesses from his family likely originate from his father to support his transition into a new life, along with any inheritance from his late mother's estate. Unless these funds were placed in a trust, it's highly probable that Harry has utilized most, if not all, of them by now. Upon the tragic passing of Princess Diana in 1997, a considerable inheritance was left for her sons. Initially, just under £13 million was allocated to Prince William and Prince Harry, but after accounting for death duties, the amount dwindled to £8.5 million. However, astute investments overseen by royal advisers saw this amount grow to over £20 million over the years. Both Prince Harry and William gained access to these funds upon reaching their 20s.
