Prince Harry: how much did he receive from his mother Diana's death?
In July 1997, after the terrible car accident that claimed the life of Lady Di, Prince Harry inherited a handsome jackpot of several million pounds.
When he was only 12, Prince Harry's life was turned upside down. In July 1997, the Duke of Sussex lost the first wife of his life: his mother, Lady Di. Since the tragic car accident that claimed the life of Diana Spencer, her youngest son has never ceased to pay tribute to her. Rebel, like her, Archie's dad has just made an unprecedented decision within the royal family. With Meghan Markle, they have chosen to break with those close to Elizabeth II. It is now in withdrawal from their royal functions that the Sussexes will continue their journey, between England and the United States. In the press release they shared to announce the news, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made an important point: they do not intend to take advantage of the royal family's money.
"We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the royal family and work towards becoming financially independent," Archie's parents wrote. And if the question of money has often caused them many criticisms - we remember in particular their luxurious trips - Meghan Markle and Prince Harry intend to provide for themselves on their own. And to do this, the Duke of Sussex will be able to count on the legacy left to him by his mother. On the death of Lady Di in fact, Prince Harry received the modest sum of 20 million pounds, or more than 23 million euros, as reported by The Mirror. He also received just over £ 7million when the Queen Mother died in 2002.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, forced to work
The couple also rake in an annual stipend from Prince Charles which amounts to over £ 4million a year from the Duchy of Cornwall's revenue. But they, who hope to become financially independent, will therefore have to say goodbye to the finances of the royal family. As members, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry receive £ 5million, or € 6.5million, annually from Elizabeth II. According to the Sussexes, this sum "covers only 5% of the expenses of the Duke and Duchess and is specifically used for their official office expenses". To be able to cover their expenses, the Sussexes will therefore have to work. If this will surely not be a problem for Meghan Markle, Prince Harry should have a little more trouble ...
