Prince Harry and his family immigrated to America after their relationship with the Firm became unbearable. It seems that they are happy and content there. Above all, they don't seem to have to worry about their finances. Even less so after Harry's birthday this year.

Prince Harry could inherit millions on his 40th birthday
King Charles' youngest son and the former Suits actress have built up quite a fortune since their move to the US. Thanks to mega deals with Netflix, among others, they have been able to expand their fortune even further. And sales of Prince Harry's tell-all memoir Spare are said to have added to their net worth as well.
Despite the ongoing disputes with the Firm, Prince Harry might be glad he comes from the Royal Family from time to time. Especially because for his 40th birthday on September 15, the father-of-two can look forward to another windfall.
According to reports, Prince Harry will then receive his share of the inheritance from his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother. This was previously invested in a trust fund. According to insiders, the amount is said to be the equivalent of almost £8.5 million.
... and even more than his brother Prince William
The surprising thing is that Prince Harry is said to receive even more money than his brother Prince William. And this is despite - or perhaps because - Prince William is the older brother and heir to the throne. An insider revealed this to The Times:
William will benefit from the vast wealth of the Duchy of Cornwall, a private estate that funds the public, charitable, and private activities of the king’s heir. As a result, Harry is likely to receive slightly more than half of the £14 million allocated for the brothers.
A reason for renewed arguments?
Whether this could lead to new quarrels between the brothers is doubtful. Firstly, because the royals are very clear about who is entitled to what and when (and why). And secondly, because the difference in amounts is unlikely to be too great.
Especially as, as the source points out, Prince William enjoys many other privileges in return, which his brother would have been denied even if he had not decided to relinquish his royal duties.
