Castles, palaces, Crown Jewels, horses, works of art, personal property… Queen Elizabeth II passed away this Thursday, September 8, leaving behind a colossal fortune. If every detail of the succession has been thought out upstream, will Prince Harry receive a share of the inheritance?
In seventy years of reign, Queen Elizabeth II has amassed a personal fortune estimated by the Sunday Times to 430 million euros. In addition, she enjoyed property belonging directly to the British Crown. A heritage estimated by the magazine Forbes to 28 billion euros. “The Queen’s inheritance will be divided among the different members of the family, but the distribution is unknown”explained Marion Prudhomme, journalist at the magazine Point of view. Indeed, the royal family does not have to make the sovereign’s will public. The Windsor Clan is also exempt from inheritance tax. The fact remains that Charles, who has become Charles III, is the main heir of the deceased Majesty. But impossible to define precisely the amount recovered by the new monarch, since the document will remain in the private domain. For his part, the eldest son of the husband of Camilla Parker Bowles, William, will receive the Duchy of Cornwall, “a collection of goods worth a billion pounds which belongs directly to the heir of the monarch”details the New York Times. So what about Prince Harry? “It is likely that the Queen will leave a will and that small amounts go to close family members”assures David McClure, author of the book The Queen’s True Worth. Moreover, if Archie and Lilibet’s father has already inherited part of Diana’s fortune, he also received several million pounds from the Queen Mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the mother of Elizabeth II, as reported by the British media Daily Express.
