Prince Harry urged to give £7m back to Charles after Duke’s bombshell inheritance revealed
Express.co.uk poll results show readers believe Prince Harry should hand his £7million inheritance back to King Charles once received after his birthday.
King Charles’s youngest son will celebrate a milestone birthday and turn 40 years old on September 15. Consequently, he will land a huge sum of money due to a trust fund set up by his great-great-grandmother, the Queen Mother.
An Express.co.uk poll asked ‘Should Prince Harry give £7m back to the Royal Family after inheritance is revealed?’. The results of the poll reveal 75 percent of voters think Harry should give the money back. 22 percent of voters disagreed and thought Harry should be entitled to keep the money, whereas 3 percent of voters stated they ‘didn’t know’.
Harry is set to receive a larger share of the inheritance than his brother, given William is already benefiting from the Duchy of Cornwall’s wealth.
The Prince of Wales is reportedly unhappy at the sum, given Harry has stepped back as a senior royal and has subsequently criticised Royal Family members both on TV and in his explosive memoir, Spare.
A source told Closer Magazine: “William’s pretty disgusted that once again Harry’s going to be cashing out and taking millions back to his Montecito home without lifting a finger for it.
“William and Kate don’t trust Harry or Meghan one bit, so the idea that Harry’s now cashing in on his great-Granny’s inheritance leaves a very bitter taste in their mouths.”
Whereas, former royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes the old family matriarch would not be happy with the way things have turned out for the Sussexes, particularly given her close bond with Harry.
“She told OK! magazine: “I’m afraid the Queen Mother would have been mightily disappointed to see history repeating itself as Harry fell in love with a divorced American woman and then left royal life and went to live abroad… almost in exile, like her brother in law King Edward VIII, who abdicated for the love of Wallis Simpson.”
