Prince Harry inherits million-dollar fortune when he turns 40

Prince Harry, who turned 40 last weekend, will inherit a millionaire sum of 8 million pounds, approximately R$58 million. The inheritance is part of a trust fund created in 1994 by Queen Mother Elizabeth for her great-grandchildren, with the rule that Harry would only have access to the amount upon reaching that age.

Inheritance of the Queen Mother

The trust was established as a way to ensure the transfer of assets in a tax-efficient manner. Harry, now 40, will receive his share of the fund, created by his great-grandmother with the aim of supporting his great-grandchildren financially when they are older.

In addition to this inheritance, the prince had already received another amount after the death of his mother, Princess Diana, in 1997. At the time, he inherited £6.5 million, which was reinvested and grew to £10 million by the time he turned 30. years. This value was essential for his move with his family to the United States.

In an interview with People magazine, Harry reflected on his life as he turned 40 and moved everyone by revealing that the greatest gift he has ever received was being a father. “The best gift I ever received was, without a doubt, my children. I enjoy watching them grow every day and I love being their father.”said the prince, referring to the children Archie and Lilibet, who he has with Meghan Markle.

Discreet life in the United States

Since distancing himself from the royal family, Harry has adopted a more reserved stance regarding the exposure of his personal life. He, Meghan and their two children live in the United States, away from the British spotlight. Recently, a source close to the family explained the decision to keep the heirs away from the media. Harry wants to protect his children's privacy and prevent them from going through traumatic situations, like the ones he himself experienced.

Family protection

“Harry is reluctant to expose his children to the public, not out of a desire to hide them, but to ensure their safety and privacy, protecting them from potential threats”the source reported to the magazine. The prince is determined to offer his children a normal life, far from the risk of kidnapping or media pressure, in an effort to prevent history from repeating itself.
