Prince Harry who recently got married to American actress Meghan Markle on May 19, 2018, is at the top of the world. The Prince who embarked the new journey of his life is enjoying his married life with the Duchess to Sussex. Buzz is that The Duke of Sussex had reportedly inherited most of Queen Mother's estate which was estimated at £14 million. When his mother, Princess Diana passed away in 1997, she left behind an equal share of her estate for both of her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.

However, Queen Elizabeth II's mother, fondly known as Queen Mother passed away in 2002, she left most of her estate to Princess Diana and Prince Charles'  younger son, Prince Harry. According to reports, Prince Harry and Prince William's great-grandmother decided to name the latter as the recipient of most of her estate. Speculations are rife that the Queen Mother decided to do so since Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge will be King someday since he is second in line for the throne after his father, Prince Charles, Prince of Wales. She was sure that when Prince William would become King, he would enjoy most of the privileges and Prince Harry would be left with nothing. Queen Mother reportedly made this move to secure the Duke of Sussex's financial future keeping in mind that he would have a family someday.

Prince William will take over the Duchy of Cornwall as well as all the other private estate that will come with it. As per a report from 2002, Prince Harry was to get a 'bulk' of Queen Mother's fortune given that when Prince William would be crowned King, the Duke of Sussex would be left with nothing. Seems like Prince Harry has his finances sorted. The young Duke who married American actress Meghan Markle is still in the honeymoon phase. There have been many controversies around the royal couple, the latest ones being the shocking claims made by the Duchess' father Thomas Markle. Amidst all these controversies, reports suggest that Meghan's mother Doria is preparing to move to London to be closer to her daughter. Meghan is an American born member of the British Royal family.
