Prince Harry is set to receive $8.5 million from the $90 million Queen Elizabeth left to her eight grandchildren.
Breakdown of Queen Elizabeth's Inheritance to Grandchildren
Upon Queen Elizabeth's death, she allocated a total of $90 million to her eight grandchildren. However, this inheritance was not split equally. A portion of $16 million was specifically allocated to Princes William and Harry.
Harry's Share
Of the $16 million designated for the brothers, Prince Harry is expected to receive $8.5 million. This amount is slightly more than half of the initial $16 million allocation.
Reason for the Difference
The disparity in the distribution stems from Prince William's future role and benefits derived from the Duchy of Cornwall. As the heir to the throne, William will directly benefit from the Duchy, thus influencing the allocation of the inheritance. Harry, not directly benefiting from the Duchy, receives a slightly larger portion of the designated $16 million.
