The million amount is listed as “financing their activities” and is usually shared between the two brothers.
Even after giving up his royal duties, Prince Harry (36) still received money from the British royal family. His father Prince Charles supported the Queen’s grandson and his wife Duchess Meghan with a “substantial sum,” said a spokesman for the heir to the throne. Charles wanted to help the couple become financially independent after moving to the United States. Since this has now been the case since summer 2020, the payments were then stopped.
According to a statement on Thursday, Charles paid his sons William, 39, and Harry a total of 4.452 million pounds last year. This is in contrast to a statement made by Harry in a sensational interview with US presenter Oprah Winfrey in March: “My family cut me off financially.” The royal family turned off the money in the first quarter of 2020. A spokesman for Harry said the prince was referring to the first quarter of the fiscal year, which in the UK starts in April.
Expensive life
Charles’ records show that the heir to the throne had transferred a good million pounds less to his sons and their families than in the previous year. British media explained this with the suspension of payments to Harry and Meghan. The palace has also confirmed that the couple have repaid the £ 2.4 million renovation cost of their Frogmore Cottage residence at Windsor Castle.
The corona pandemic has put a heavy strain on the royal family’s income. Charles ‘share of the so-called Sovereign Grant, the royals’ share of the profits of their property manager Crown Estate, fell from 1.8 million pounds in the previous year to 400,000 pounds. From the lease of his lands in the Duchy of Cornwall, Charles received £ 20.4 million, £ 1.8 million less than the previous year.
