Prince Harry has reportedly received a hefty inheritance, while his brother
Prince William hasn't been as fortunate. It's been revealed that the
Duke of Sussex got a larger portion of their late great-grandmother
Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother's estate after she passed away in 2002. Her estate, believed to be worth around £70 million, included valuable assets and property contents left to her daughter,
Queen Elizabeth II. In 1994, the Queen Mother decided to put two-thirds of her wealth into a trust fund for her great-grandchildren, OK! reports. Reports suggest that Harry was the main beneficiary of this trust, receiving a larger share than his older brother William. The reason for this difference in inheritance could be due to what the princes are expected to inherit in the future.
