William fears Harry’s inheritance will be ‘squandered in beyond the pale move’ says source

Prince William is said to be concerned that his younger brother Harry’s inheritance will be “gone in a flash” due to his “lavish” life with wife Meghan Markle in the US, a source has claimed.

The Duke of Sussex, who has stepped back from his role as a working royal, is due to receive a massive £7m windfall from a trust set up by the Queen Mother when he turns 40 on September 15.

Prince Harry will secure a larger portion of the inheritance than his brother, as the Prince of Wales is currently benefiting from the Duchy of Cornwall, but the future king is reportedly displeased.

A source told Woman’s Day magazine: “Never in a million years would he have predicted his brother would abandon his duties and swan off to America to try and build himself as this Hollywood celebrity, so he thinks Meghan is behind it

“He’s seen the lavish life they live so he has no doubt the money will be gone in a flash. The idea of Harry squandering his inheritance after turning up his nose at the family and his commitment to the crown is beyond the pale for William.”

Harry withdrew from his Senior Royal duties and jetted off to California to start a new life with his wife, Meghan Markle, in 2020 and has since directed criticism towards the Royal Family on TV and in his controversial memoir, Spare.

The Sussexes shared a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which Harry confessed that he was on “different paths” with his brother but hoped things would “heal”.

Meghan also claimed that Princess Kate left her in tears prior to her wedding day. The former actress also levelled an allegation of racism against an unknown member of the Royals.

The Queen Mother, who was Harry and William’s great grandmother and died in 2002, left the vast sum to the Duke of Sussex in a trust.
