Today, the Royal Family will take a moment to honour the Queen Mother, who died exactly 20 years ago today.

She was close to several of her grandkids and great-grandchildren and appeared to be concerned about their financial well-being even before her death.

She allegedly put a big portion of her wealth into a trust fund that would be divided among all of her great-grandchildren.

However, the Queen Mother agreed that Prince Harry would get more than Prince William.

So, when mother died at the age of 101, the brothers had £14 million to divide between them, but as promised, the younger brother fared better.

The reasoning behind the Queen Mother’s choice is based on how the royal family’s finances function.

When the Queen dies and Prince Charles ascends to the throne, William will very certainly become the new Prince of Wales.

This implies he will inherit the Duchy of Cornwall, a private estate that finances the heir to the throne’s public, charitable, and private activities. Harry, on the other hand, will not be receiving any of this.

The money, together with a legacy from his mother, Princess Diana, has enabled him to begin his new life in the United States with Meghan Markle once they leave the royal family in 2020.

The couple is now believed to be happier, enjoying the dream life in the sun with their two children.

Diana left her children £12,966,022 in her will, which was reduced to £8,502,330 after death duties.
Buckingham Palace published certain information regarding the Queen Mother’s will after moving to the High Court to attempt to keep it hidden following her death.

Her estate, which was estimated to be worth between £50 million and £70 million at the time, was passed down to her daughter, the Queen.

Many pieces from the Queen’s personal art collection were donated to the royal collection and displayed at Buckingham Palace.
