Princess Diana Left Him an Inheritance According to Forbes, Princess Diana reportedly left both Prince William and Prince Harry $10 million after taxes, and they started receiving annual dividends at age 25 to the tune of $450,000 a year. That's a lot to live on—even for a fancy royal.
2. How Much Money Did Prince Harry Inherit? In the '90s, Queen Elizabeth (aka the Queen Mother) set up a trust fund for her great-grandchildren. At age 21, Prince William and Prince Harry split the first half of their portion, which totaled around £6 million (about $7.8 million).
"I've got what my mum left me and without that, we wouldn't have been able to do this," Harry told Oprah in March 2021. "She saw it coming, and I certainly felt her presence throughout this whole process." Prince Harry inherited an estimated $10 million from Princess Diana's estate after her death on August 31, 1997.
When the Queen mother (Harry's great-grandmother) died at age 101 in year 2002, it was thought that she left $18 million of her $100 million estate to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. However, according to a Forbes report in February 2021, Harry actually received nothing from his great-grandmother.
According to Mirror Online, it has been reported that the overall deal is worth up to $100m.
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan no longer receive money from the Royal Family, and earn their income from commercial arrangements.

Prince William Inherits $1 Billion Estate After Queen's Death.
Queen Elizabeth famously gifted various stunning pieces to Princess Kate, Queen Consort Camilla, Sophie, Countess of Wessex, the late Princess Diana, and at least one piece to Duchess Meghan.
Her Majesty leaves behind over $500 million in personal assets from her 70 years on the throne, which Prince Charles will inherit when he is crowned king.
The youngest of both brothers already had an inheritance from the Queen mother (Queen Elizabeth II's mother) of around $10 million.
"Without William, Kate would curtsy to Camilla; with him, she would not," the source continued. "That's unless Prince Charles is present, in which case she would." The order of curtsying, however, can change. This could happen when people marry into the family.
The duke recalls meeting Camilla, whom he and his brother called “the other woman,” for the first time, and notes that it was far from a pleasant experience for him. He described their introduction as an “injection,” for which he had to brace himself.
It's unclear what Harry will inherit from the Queen, however, after the death of his mother, Princess Diana, Harry and William inherited part of their mother's estate on their 25th birthdays, which was around $10 million each, according to Forbes.
Due to the fact that he's quite literally royalty, Prince William is rich. Like, “I live in a casual castle and my late grandma owned a scepter” rich. Not only does William have more money than Prince Harry for reasons that would cause any family to feud, but he's about to get even richer too.
Outside documentary production, Harry and Meghan's company also produces and hosts podcasts on Spotify, a deal which is also worth several million. In addition to the activities of their production company, both Harry and Meghan have earned money from book writing. Meghan published a book titled The Bench in 2021.
So what will Meghan Markle inherit from Queen Elizabeth? Radar Online reported in September 2022 that both Meghan and Lilibet will be left out of the Queen's inheritance. “There's a very good chance the Queen won't leave either of them any jewels of value,” a source said.
Kate Middleton wore a pearl choker that once belonged to Her late Majesty; Meghan wore a pair of pearl and diamond drop earrings that were a gift from the Queen on the occasion of their first joint engagement together in 2018, the same year Meghan married into the family.
Harry and Meghan's children could inherit royal titles, unless Charles changes the rules. With the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children should become Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet — unless the newly acceded King Charles III opts to break with tradition and ditch the royal titles.
Even if the Queen had desired to skip Charles in favor of William, she did not have the power to choose her successor on a whim. The 1701 Act of Settlement is the act of Parliament that determines the succession to the throne and requires that a monarch's heir must be his or her direct successor (and a Protestant).
Her two main heirs were her two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. Included in the Will as beneficiaries were Princess Diana's seventeen godchildren, as well as her beloved butler Paul Burrell. When establishing an Estate Plan, it's important to name who will be the executors or trustees of your Will.
Separately, Charles also inherits from the Queen the Duchy of Lancaster, a private estate that includes portfolio of lands, properties and assets held in trust for the sovereign.
William allegedly called Markle “difficult,” “rude,” and “abrasive,” to which Harry replied that his older brother was parroting false media narratives. Harry accused his brother of “acting like an heir,” and the two exchanged insults.
A source told Daily Mail in December 2022 that Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, are welcome to attend King Charles coronation in Westminster Abbey in London because they're family. “Harry is his son and His Majesty will always love him,” the insider said.
Harry and Meghan will be invited to Charles's ceremony on 6 May, with all family members expected to feature on a guest list still to be drawn up, according to a report. A source told The Daily Telegraph: “All members of the family will be welcome.” The Sussexes are understood to have not yet received an invitation.
