Queen Mother Elizabeth's will has become a new source of tension between brothers Princes William and Harry, exacerbating the already strained relationship due to ongoing conflicts. The will states that both princes will receive a certain financial amount when they turn forty. Prince Harry will celebrate his fortieth birthday on September 15, and he is set to receive nearly $9 million from his great-grandmother.
The amount that Prince Harry will receive is more than what his older brother received on his fortieth birthday two years ago. An insider told "In Touch": "In a way, the idea that Harry will get this large sum of money feels wrong to William.” They added, “In William's opinion, Harry hasn't done anything to deserve this amount and has only caused trouble and heartache for the royal family since moving to America.”
Prince William earned $30 million last year, indicating that he is not facing financial strain. However, ever since Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle moved to California with their two young children and Harry criticized the royal family, the monarchy, and Prince William specifically, William has repeatedly felt betrayed. An insider stated, "William holds a grudge for every slight and insult."
