Why Queen Mother Left Prince Harry With More Money Than Prince William

Queen Mother reportedly left Prince Harry is a bigger inheritance than his older brother Prince William.

According to BBC, eight years before Queen Mother passed away, she put into a trust fun two-thirds of her money. Following her death in 2002, her money was not evenly split between Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s two sons. However, this didn’t have anything to do with her relationship with her great-grandchildren.

Queen Mother knew that Prince William will one day become king, and he will receive more financial benefits that Prince Harry. Following her death, Buckingham Palace had to make her last will and testament public to adhere to her request.

“Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother has bequeathed her entire asset (which mainly comprises the contents of her house) to the Queen. In her will, she asked the Queen to make certain bequests to members of her staff, and these bequests will be subject to inheritance tax in the normal way. The Queen has decided that the most important of Queen Elizabeth’s pictures and works of art should be transferred to the Royal Collection,” the will read.

“Some of these items, including works of Monet, Nash, and Carl Faberge, from Queen Elizabeth’s collection, will be on display in the ‘Royal Treasures’ exhibition, which is due to open at the new Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace, on 22 May,” the statement continued.

Prince Charles received Queen Mother’s Clarence House. The Duke of Cornwall had a close relationship with his grandmother. Dr. Piers Brendon, the author of “The Windsors: A Dynasty,” revealed that the Queen Mother was a huggable personality in Prince Charles’ life.

“The Queen Mother was huggability personified, she was tremendously affectionate and welcoming and warm and cuddly. Whereas the Queen was a very distant mother,” he said (via Daily Mail).

And during the first years of his life, it was Queen Mother that took care of Prince Charles with the help of King George VI.
