As Prince Harry approaches his 40th birthday, an expert predicts that his inheritance payout will surpass that of his older brother, Prince William. The significant financial disparity highlights the contrasting positions of the brothers within the royal family.
Prince Harry, known as the "spare" to his elder brother, Prince William, is poised to receive a substantial inheritance payout on his 40th birthday that is expected to eclipse the amount inherited by the future king.
According to royal expert Katie Nicholl, Harry's inheritance, left to him by their late mother, Princess Diana, and paternal grandmother, the Queen Mother, could be in the range of £10 million to £20 million. This amount is significantly higher than the £8 million to £12 million that William received upon his 30th birthday.

The discrepancy in inheritance is attributed to the traditional practice of primogeniture, which favors the eldest son in terms of wealth and property. William, as the heir apparent to the British throne, receives a larger share of the royal fortune as part of his preparation for his future role as monarch.
However, Harry's inheritance is not limited to financial assets alone. He may also inherit valuable pieces of jewelry, art, and other heirlooms that hold sentimental significance for the royal family.

While the exact details of Harry's inheritance are kept private, the substantial payout is expected to provide him with financial security and independence as he continues to carve out his own path outside the confines of the monarchy.
Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have stepped back from their senior royal duties and relocated to California, where they are pursuing their own ventures. The inheritance could bolster their financial resources as they navigate their new lives in the United States.

It is worth noting that the inheritance figures are estimates, and the actual amounts may vary. The royal family does not publicly disclose financial details, and the exact distribution of wealth within the family is a closely guarded secret.
