It's unclear if Queen Elizabeth II left anything specific to Prince Harry in her will, as wills are sealed, but he received a significant inheritance from his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother's, trust fund, around $8.5 million, paid out on his 40th birthday. While Harry didn't inherit directly from the Queen's will like some other royals (e.g., jewelry for Kate), he did benefit from long-standing arrangements for the Queen Mother's great-grandchildren, with Harry receiving a larger share than William due to William's future role as King.
Prince Harry's hefty $8.5 million inheritance will not be subject to tax deductions, investment experts have said. The Duke of Sussex received the generous cash gift on his 40th birthday last month — thanks to arrangements made by his late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

Yes, Prince Harry (and Prince William) won't inherit Althorp, Princess Diana's childhood home, because it follows the Spencer family's male-preference primogeniture, passing to Diana's brother Charles, the current Earl, and then to his son, Louis Spencer, despite Louis having older sisters. While Diana's personal wealth and jewelry went to her sons, Althorp estate is a separate family property that stays within the male line, meaning Harry never had a claim to the house itself.
The exact inheritance of the remaining jewelry from her personal collection remains unclear. But throughout her life, Elizabeth gifted several pieces to the women in her family, including the late Princess Diana, Queen Consort Camilla, Princess Kate, Sophie, Countess of Wessex, and Duchess Meghan.

And even though three of the Queen's four children have divorced, none apparently had a prenuptial agreement. Yes, there is a large sum of money in the balance for this marriage, but the true, staggering wealth belongs to the Queen, so it wouldn't be divided up if Meghan and Harry did end up divorcing.
Meghan Markle's jewelry collection includes several heirloom pieces from the late Princess of Wales.
