Prince Harry to receive major inheritance, exposing one of his major claims

In a world where the lines between celebrity and royalty often blur, Prince Harry's financial revelations to Oprah Winfrey have sparked a debate with many questioning the Duke of Sussex's grasp on reality.

The prince's claims of financial abandonment by the royal family have been met with scepticism following recent reports that suggest a rather different fiscal picture.



During the bombshell-laden interview with Oprah, Prince Harry painted a picture of financial isolation, stating that the Royal Family had 'literally cut me off financially' and that he was surviving on the inheritance left by his late mother, Princess Diana.

This narrative of struggle and independence struck a chord with many viewers, who sympathised with the prince's plight.

However, recent revelations have cast doubt on the prince's account. It has emerged that Prince Harry is set to inherit a substantial sum from a trust established by his late great-grandmother, the Queen Mother.

This trust, reportedly worth $37 million, was designed to benefit her great-grandchildren and grandchildren, with Harry's share estimated to be at least $7.8 million as he turns 40.

This is not the first time Harry has benefited from the Queen Mother's foresight.

At the age of 21, he and his brother, Prince William, received a share of $11.7 million, with the 'bulk' going to Harry and another $15.6 million combined awaiting them at 40.

‘I’ve got what my mum left me, and without that, we would not have been able to do this,’ Prince Harry said.



The Sussexes' financial situation has been a topic of much speculation since their departure from royal duties, known as 'Megxit’.

The couple has signed lucrative deals with streaming giants and publishers, with Harry's memoir Spare achieving significant success.

Yet, their ability to continue securing such 'megawatt' deals has been questioned as their celebrity influence appears to wane.

Meghan Markle's ventures, including a lifestyle brand called American Riviera Orchard (ARO), have also faced setbacks, with trademark issues delaying its launch.

The couple's future earning potential remains uncertain, with their Netflix contract reportedly set to expire next year.

As Prince Harry celebrates his 40th birthday, the public's perception of his financial narrative is under scrutiny.

The prince's claims of financial hardship are juxtaposed against the reality of his considerable inheritance and high-profile deals.



The Royal Family has long been a symbol of wealth and privilege, and Prince Harry's situation is no exception.

While the Duke of Sussex may have sought to carve out a new, self-sufficient path, the revelation of his impending inheritance serves as a reminder of the enduring financial safety net provided by his royal lineage.

Prince Harry and his wife chose to step away from the Royal family but have spent the last while complaining about how difficult everything is. It seems they want their life of privilege but don't wish to work hard or adopt a less lavish lifestyle. It is hard for most ordinary people to really feel sympathetic for them.
 
Certainly was no secret -always known that the 2 Princes were receiving inheritances from their late Great-grandmother on their 21st and 40th birthdays.
No doubt Harry could live within his means but the Markle cannot and will not!!!!
Like the woman who married a station master and lived above her station!!!
 
It is beyond me why people feel the need to gossip about Harry & Megan. Perhaps try minding your own business. The change might be good for you.
