Sussex’s Fight: Prince Philip’s Will Leaves Harry Empty-Handed as $30 Million Divided Among Four Royals
After the passing of Prince Philip at the age of 99, there has been much speculation about his net worth and who would inherit his fortune.
Similar to his wife, Queen Elizabeth II, it is evident that the Duke of Edinburgh accumulated significant wealth throughout his lifetime.
As the Queen's husband, Prince Philip received a royal allowance from the Sovereign Grant, which is an official expense account funded by British taxpayers.
This allowance amounted to approximately $500,000 or £400,000 per year.
Although it is uncertain if Philip continued to receive this allowance after retiring from official royal duties in 2017, he still had access to funds generated by a private portfolio of properties, lands, and assets established by the Duchy of Lancaster in 1399.
Similarly, Queen Elizabeth II also maintained a private income from the Duchy of Lancaster estate.
Additionally, the couple shared a portfolio of stocks and land inherited from the Queen's family, including Balmoral Castle in Scotland and Sunderingham Estate in England.
The question arises: Did the Harcourts, referring to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, receive any inheritance from Prince Philip?
While the Queen decided to retain his assets, excluding the $30,000,000 he bequeathed to his staff, it remains unclear if she had the authority to determine if any money should pass on to the couple.
It is worth noting that the interest alone on $30,000,000 would have been sufficient for Harry to sustain himself for the rest of his life.
Contrary to popular belief, Harry has never been extravagant with his spending, as evidenced by his modest shoe choices.
On the other hand, Meghan has been known to be more extravagant, regardless of how much money Harry may possess or acquire in the future.
However, it seems that Prince Philip and the Queen took measures to safeguard his inheritance from Meghan's reach.
Princess Anne was responsible for the distribution of Prince Philip's inheritance.
However, according to a source, Harry and Meghan did not receive any money due to their unacceptable behavior towards the Wall family.
It is worth mentioning that Harry sold all the gifts left by Philip before his passing in an attempt to please Meghan.
This action reportedly angered Prince Philip to the point of falling ill. Consequently, he refused to see Harry from 2019 until his demise in 2021.
It is evident that Prince Philip saw through Meghan's intentions and felt that Harry had crossed boundaries.
Neither Prince Philip nor the Queen included Harry in their final thoughts or wills.
They had four children, numerous grandchildren, and great-grandchildren who genuinely loved them.
The Royal Family likely took precautions to prevent Harry and his questionable choices from accessing the principal of his trust fund.
It is entirely possible that he may never have full access to it.
Prince Philip would not have left behind these precious possessions if he had known that Meghan would compel him to sell them.
These items held sentimental value for Philip, as they represented shared moments.
Despite personal preferences, these historical presents from Grandpa could have been preserved or given to other family members, such as William, Charles, Anne, Edward, or even Andrew, as they belonged to their father.
They could have been displayed as a tribute, but unfortunately, Harry chose to sell them.
This act could be seen as a test of loyalty.
Harry should have informed his grandmother, the Queen, about Meghan's refusal to keep these sentimental gifts, allowing her to find an appropriate place to display them.
However, it seems that Harry prioritized his wife's wishes over preserving family history.
In conclusion, Prince Philip's will has left Prince Harry without an inheritance, while $30 million has been divided among four other members of the royal family.
