“Pretty disgusted”- Prince Harry’s $8.5 Million Worth Inheritance Has Stuck a Bone in Neck With Prince William and Wife
As Prince Harry nears his 40th birthday in about a month, it presents a prime opportunity for him to reconcile with the royal family, including Prince William and Kate Middleton. Although the Duke has expressed deep homesickness and a yearning to return to the UK, recent reports suggest that the ongoing tension between the brothers might overshadow his desire for amendment. This update comes alongside news of his impressive $8.5 million inheritance, which he will receive on his upcoming birthday.
The estrangement has been so impactful that the inheritance has left both Prince William and his wife feeling discontented.

A source recently told Closer that Prince William is outraged by Prince Harry’s substantial payday, particularly given his critical stance towards the Royal family, having stepped down from his royal duties. “William is pretty disgusted,” the insider shared, noting that his frustration stems from Prince Harry receiving millions without contributing any effort. Kate Middleton shares these sentiments, and the source added that while there is little he can do about it if it were within his control, Prince Harry’s payday would not come to pass.
Prince William is reportedly unhappy about the hefty handout being given to his younger brother and has been allegedly expressing his discontent openly. The insider also mentioned that Prince William and Kate Middleton are distrustful of the Duke and Meghan Markle, suggesting that the inheritance only exacerbates the existing tension. The source added that the royal couple feels the Sussex pair does not deserve such extravagance, especially given the repeated parting shots they have directed at their estranged family.
The source also believes that the disparity in the brothers' birthday gifts may have contributed to Prince William's strong reaction following King Charles’ recent fuming over the Sussex couple.

Prince Harry, who turns 40 on September 15, is set to receive $8.5 million from a trust fund established by his late great-grandmother. This amount is part of the Queen Mother’s estimated $89 million fortune, which was intended for her great-grandchildren. A source speaking to Closer drew a comparison between the birthday gifts Prince Harry is about to receive and those given to Prince William. For his 40th birthday in 2022, Prince William was celebrated with a ceremonial bell concert at Westminster Abbey.
It is widely believed that the homesick Prince Harry will receive a more substantial gift than his older brother. According to the source, as the heir to the throne, Prince William benefits from the private estate of the Duchy of Cornwall, which is tax-exempt. Consequently, the Duke of Sussex is expected to receive just over half of the $17.78 million designated for both brothers. While the discontent is understandable, it now puts a big question mark on the Prince’s hopes for reconciliation.
