Much like the Queen's other children didn't inherit much from her death, Harry won't either. It all goes to William.

Prince Phillip left $42M to his grandchildren. So yea, the Queen also left money for all.

Divided by how many grandkids? That’s chump change (approx $5.5M per) for someone who wants to live a Hollywood or royal lifestyle.

But even tens of millions in inheritance won’t last long when your earning prospects are grinding to a halt and you have annual staff, security, and housing costs in the millions.

He got $10M from his mom which he did not touch until he was expelled from the Royal family. Meghan has money. Anne will leave them money.

Compounding interest is your friend.

William's kids might be f'd when the young in England say enough is enough with the royal bs.

They were not expelled.

The most puzzling thing is the rash of lawsuits. Doesn’t seem to be any coherent strategy.

Any reconciliation, at least with King Charles, is a good idea as it will provide fresh material for future books, documentaries.

Bottom line is that, as many speculated when it was announced, the "$100 million deal" was the ceiling, not the floor. They say it is understood that they cleared about $15 million for the documentary, but that's it. More discussion about the rest of their finances, as well.

However, a source with knowledge of the situation says that essentially the Netflix deal is a dead duck.

‘The whole arrangement was basically the trade-off for Netflix getting the Harry & Meghan documentary. It was never the huge payday that the Press reported. The $100 million number was always a newspaper figure.

It’s thought they got a small fraction of that number up front, and everything from there on is largely contingent on performance. The fact is that the company [Archewell] has been relatively inactive so far.’

Rather than a massive lump sum, the deal consisted of a multi-year commitment from Netflix to cover the overheads of Archewell. This is said to be in the region of $3 million (£2.4 million) a year, of which the Sussexes will keep a small portion personally.

Most of that money is being spent on overheads and project development costs. Indeed, when Archewell bought the rights to make a film of Meet Me At The Lake it was reported that, quite unusually, Netflix had stumped up the $1 million (£800,000) cash rather than Archewell, reflecting the fact that the company is not swimming in funds.

We all know these PR planted numbers are fake. See also Howard Stern’s fake billion dollar deals when he has less than a couple hundred thousand listeners.

Its not like they are raising kids themselves, kids would be sheltered with nannies or at boarding schools.

Royalty may end but they'll inherit huge amount of private assets which William already has ownership of.

Not exactly. That is not owned by a person. Also wait until the sovereignty and colonies come a calling for all the was stolen.

Royalty is about the one good thing England has. It's a shitshow of a place with awful weather and politics.

Sorry for the tangent, but Howard Stern is estimated to have 10 million listeners per Forbes. https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianbushard/2023/09/23/trump-calls-howard-stern-a-broken-weirdo-after-radio-hosts-increasing-jabs/?sh=2a59804d7c0f

Anne? No, she’ll leave all her money to her own kids and grandkids. H&M have a lifestyle that easily costs $5M/year, possibly multiples of that once you factor in lawyers, accountants, publicists, etc.

Anne will leave them money? No way. Like her mother, Anne is all about respect and duty. Aside from which, she needs to leave her money to Zara and Peter.

The sovereign may leave relatively small bequests to godchildren and those closest to them, but they’re more likely to make the gifts ahead of time. QEII’s will won’t be available for 90 years but it’s widely accepted that almost everything in her personal estate went to Charles. No inheritance tax when the assets pass from Sovereign to Sovereign.

We don’t know how Phillip spread his wealth, but even if he divided it equally between the grandchildren, that’s only £5.25 before big inheritance taxes.

Now we have no idea how much Harry’s portion from Diana grew over the years, but the fact that they are reaching so hard would indicate their wealth can’t sustain their lifestyle. They’ve become incredibly unpopular in the UK and seem to be increasingly irrelevant in the US. They’ll probably have to downsize the lifestyle.

I don’t like them but I think Charles is a fool not to pay for their security. He can easily afford it and they could well be targets for crazies. They also have terrible judgment so there’s that as well. I’m sure Charles doesn’t want harm to come to them, not to mention the optics. Despite their decreasing popularity, it would be a bad look if something happened while they were denied security.
