Prince Harry gets rich and receives a million-dollar inheritance for his 40th birthday

He Prince Harry is about to turn thirty. Among the many gifts she will receive on September 15 for her 40th birthday, one stands out: one from her great-grandmother, Isabel Bowes-Lyon. Gan-Gan – as Harry called him when he was just 10 years old – created a trust fund in 1994 so that his great-grandchildren could receive a million-dollar inheritance without having to pay taxes. The first payment was made when he was 21 and the second will arrive in a few days, when Meghan Markle’s husband turns 40, as reported The Times.

Although the exact amount of the inheritance is unknown, it is estimated that the first payment, which arrived at the age of 21, was £6 million. While the second, at the age of 40, increases to £8 million, according to reports from the BBC and journalist Stephen Bates.

The differences between Prince William and Prince Harry are also present in their great-grandmother’s inheritance, as the Duke of Sussex is entitled to a larger fortune than his older brother. The reason why Kate Middleton’s husband received less money is because he already inherited the Duchy of Cornwall when he became Prince of Wales.

With this gift of Isabel Bowes-Lyonthe bar for surprising Harry on his birthday is very high. However, although details of how he will celebrate his big day are unknown, everything seems to indicate that Prince William’s brother will blow out the candles in the company of Meghan and their two children: Archie y Lilibet.
