Great-grandmother is partial- Harry gets more money than William for his 40th birthday

In a recent exclusive interview, we explore the evolving dynamics between Prince William and Prince Harry. It’s often said that “the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world,” yet achieving true equality in parenting, particularly within royal families, can prove to be quite challenging.

Reports indicate that as Harry approaches his 40th birthday on September 15, he stands to gain a considerable gift from a trust established by their great-grandmother, the late Queen Mother. This trust, created in 1994 when Harry was just 10 years old, is estimated to be valued at around £19 million (approximately $24.96 million).

At the age of 94, Queen Mother aimed to secure financial stability for her descendants as they entered adulthood. The trust outlines a structure for financial support at the ages of 21 and 40. While specific details of the disbursement remain confidential, it’s apparent that Harry is poised to benefit more from this fund than his brother William.

Why is that, you might ask? The Queen Mother anticipated William would eventually become king, and with that title comes the Duchy of Cornwall, which would provide him with significant wealth.

When the brothers turned 21, they collectively received £6 million, with the larger portion allocated to Harry. Now, as they near their 40s, an additional £8 million is expected to be distributed. As of 2022, William, now the Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall following King Charles’s ascension, reported an income of £23.6 million from the Duchy, suggesting he likely holds no ill will regarding Harry’s more lucrative trust.

In other news, the UK government has announced plans for a national memorial honoring Queen Elizabeth II, to be located at St. James’s Park in London.

Born in 1926, Queen Elizabeth II reigned for an extraordinary 70 years starting in 1952, making her the longest-serving monarch in British history. She passed away on September 8, 2022, at the age of 96 in Balmoral Castle, Scotland.

The proposed memorial will be situated around Marlborough Gate in St. James’s Park, chosen for its proximity to Buckingham Palace, her former home. The government emphasizes that this space will not only pay tribute to the late queen’s legacy but also provide a reflective community area.

The design phase for the memorial is set to begin later this year, with architects, artists, and designers invited to submit their proposals for this important tribute.
