When he turns 40 on 15 September, the Duke of Sussex will inherit approximately £7 million from his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother.This money comes from a trust fund that King George VI's widow set up for her great-grandchildren — including Princes William and Harry — worth £70 million, as reported in The Times.
While it will surely come as a welcome boost, the issue surrounding the inheritance is being called a double-edged sword by a leading royal expert thanks to the Queen Mother's dislike of family drama and her unique ability to ignore people she didn't wish to interact with.
The Queen Mother is largely remembered as a stoic figure who was famous for her large feathered hats and floaty bodices - but many others have referred to her as an 'iron first in a velvet glove'.Thanks to her aversion to family drama, she earned the nickname 'the Imperial Ostrich' owing to her canny ability to 'stick her head in the sand' when she didn't wish to know something.
