Royal Tensions Rise as William Faces Challenges Amidst Kate's Health Battle
Prince William is reportedly upset over a royal rule that allows his brother, Prince Harry, to benefit from royal wealth and privileges despite no longer being a working royal. The Prince of Wales, who is diligently fulfilling his royal duties while supporting his wife, Kate Middleton, through her cancer battle, is said to be confused by Prince Harry’s significant inheritance, which he plans to take back to Montecito.
Prince Harry, 39, is set to inherit £7 million from his great-grandmother when he turns 40 next month. This money comes from a trust fund established by the Queen Mother for her grandchildren, with Harry’s share representing about 10 percent of her estimated £70 million fortune.
The future King is reportedly appalled by the substantial inheritance, given Harry’s estrangement from the family since stepping down as a working royal in 2020. "William's pretty disgusted that once again Harry's going to be cashing out and taking millions back to his Montecito home without lifting a finger for it," a source told Closer.
"There's nothing he can do about it, aside from shaking his head, but if it were up to him, Harry would not be getting this payday. William doesn't think his brother is in any position to be getting this handout and he's letting it be known that he thinks it's a pretty rotten situation," the magazine reported.
Harry's share of the inheritance is larger than William's, as the latter already benefits financially from the Duchy of Cornwall estate. The relationship between Harry and his family has been strained ever since he moved to the US with his wife, Meghan Markle, in January 2020.
