Queensville Revelation: Inheritance Drama Unfolds Among Royals
The recent revelation in Queensville has sparked a heated debate among the royal family members regarding their inheritance from the late Queen Elizabeth.
The spotlight falls on Prince Harry, who, according to representatives cited by Forbes in 2021, did not receive any portion of the $100 million bequeathed by his great-grandmother to the royal family.
However, following the demise of their mother, Princess Diana, both Harry and William inherited a share of their mother's assets on their 25th birthday, amounting to approximately $10 million each, as reported by Forbes.
During a candid interview with Oprah Winfrey and his wife in March 2021, Harry disclosed that he relied on his mother's trust fund to sustain himself and his family after being financially cut off by his father in early 2020, subsequent to Harry and Meghan's departure from royal duties.
This move was crucial for ensuring their security, as Harry emphasized the significance of what his mother had left him, stating that their endeavors would have been unattainable without it.
Despite Diana's declaration that her assets would be divided between William and Harry upon reaching the age of 25, the funds were withheld until they turned 30.
Nevertheless, the brothers were entitled to receive interest from their trust during this period.
While Harry and William stand as the primary heirs to Diana's legacy, the late Princess also expressed her desire to extend her fortune to other individuals, including her butler, Paul Burrell, and her 17 godchildren, as disclosed by Worthy Names.
Turning to Meghan Markle, reports from Forbes in 2021 reiterated that Harry was not named as a beneficiary of the $100 million inheritance left by his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.
Contrary to speculations, it is highly improbable that the Queen will leave any valuable jewelry to Harry or Meghan, as indicated by Radar Online in a September 2022 report.
The absence of such bequests is attributed to their estrangement from the royal family, with sources suggesting that it aligns with the Queen's practical approach rather than being perceived as a deliberate snub.
Notably, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, inherited jewelry worth $110 million from the Queen, and there are indications that she may pass on some pieces to her niece, given that she and her husband, William, do not require additional jewelry and wish to prevent it from being neglected.
Speculations surrounding the exclusion of Meghan from the inheritance list point towards practical considerations or perhaps residual tensions stemming from her tumultuous relationship with the British monarchy leading up to the Queen's demise.
While some interpret this decision as a pragmatic move rather than a vindictive act, others view it as a subtle message from the Queen to Harry and Meghan, implying that they reap what they sow.
As for Prince Andrew, reports from the BBC in September 2022 revealed that he and Sarah Ferguson inherited the Queen's beloved corgis, Cormac and Sandy, which were initially presented as a gift to the Queen by Andrew and his daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, in 2021.
The corgis will return to reside at the Royal Lodge alongside the Duke and Duchess, with Sarah Ferguson playing a significant role in facilitating this arrangement, having nurtured a close bond with the Queen through shared activities like dog walking and horse riding, even post-divorce.
Princess Anne, along with her brothers Andrew and Edward, has reportedly inherited a portion of the sovereign wealth currently under the ownership of their elder brother, King Charles.
Although the specific extent of her share remains undisclosed, recent reports suggest that Princess Anne may have acquired a new royal title in recognition of her notable contributions during the events leading up to the Queen's funeral in September 2022.
