While exact details of the trust fund remain private, royal experts have suggested that Prince Harry may receive a larger share than his brother. This is believed to be a way of compensating Harry for not being in line for the throne.
A former Palace aide explained to The Times, “It was a way in which the Queen Mother could set aside money for when her great-grandchildren were older…a way of passing a slice of her estate down in a tax-efficient way.”

The two brothers are understood to have already received £6 million ($7.3 million) between them at the age of 21. Now, with Harry’s 40th birthday, a further £8 million ($9.7 million) is expected to be shared.
Still, British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard has stirred up some royal drama. She suggests that Prince William might be feeling a bit “disgruntled” about the sizeable inheritance that’s coming Prince Harry’s way.

Chard told Fox News Digital that William’s frustration could stem from Harry’s tell-alls, which have certainly shaken up the monarchy. She believes William may see Harry’s candid revelations as unsupportive and even hurtful towards the royal family.
