Shortly before the wedding, Queen Elizabeth II worried about her grandson's heritage, as Philip Turle, a journalist at France 24, sure BFMTV. It must be said that Prince Harry has a well-stocked account. Indeed, he received a sum which is equivalent to more than 7 million euros at the death of Princess Diana, a legacy from her great-grandmother, the Queen-Mother, when she died in 2002, and a salary when he was a soldier. In total, Harry's fortune is estimated at 25 million euros. Besides, there is that of Meghan Markle which only amounts to 5 million euros, which worried the mother of Prince Charles.
A royal clash
Fearing that her grandson would be robbed of his fortune during a hypothetical future divorce, Queen Elizabeth II asked for a marriage contract to be drawn up, as claimed by Angela Levin, royal correspondent and biographer in the documentary. "The Queen wanted Harry and Meghan to sign a marriage contract which stipulated that in the event of a divorce, she would simply benefit from a certain amount of money, "she said.
Faced with this request, Harry came out of him. "Furious, he told her that he was going to marry Meghan for life, that he had blind confidence in her and that he did not want to sign anything like that. To him, it was an insult to Meghan, and Meghan had the same wish,"she said during her speech. Ultimately, it was William's brother who won because he married his pretty brunette without a marriage contract.
