According to The Times, there are rumours that The amount that the great-grandmother left to be divided between the two sons of Charles III was 14 million. They shared £6m when they turned 21 and £8m when they turned 40. So, Prince Harry should receive 4 million pounds.
Harry will receive more than William
However, according to sources from the Royal Family, The amount that was awarded to the first-born son of King Charles III was less than what his brother will receiveThis is because her great-grandmother was aware of the differences between her daughters, Princess Margaret and Queen Elizabeth II. Therefore, she knew that when Queen Elizabeth II’s son was proclaimed King of England in September 2022, Prince William would become heir and have the fortune of the Duchy of Cornwall. Therefore, there is a chance that Prince Harry will receive more than the 4 million pounds.
