Revealed: what Princess Diana left with Prince Harry

It was one of the most revealing moments of Oprah’s interview: Prince Harry claimed that the royal family cut him off financially and he lived off what his mother left him.

The Duke of Sussex told the talk show queen Oprah that when he, Meghan and Archie fled, they were dependent on money from their mother, Princess Diana.

During the two-hour special, Harry stated that after being “financially isolated” from royalty in early 2020, he was left with no other choice.

Harry told Oprah, “I have what my mother left me, and without that, we couldn’t have done this.

“It’s like he saw it coming and he’s been with us throughout this whole process.”

So how much money did Prince Harry inherit from his late mother?

While Harry did not reveal the sum during his conversation with Oprah, The Sun understands that Harry was left with a sum of $ 11 million when his mother died 23 years ago.

This amount was later increased to $ 18 million when he turned 30 after the money earned interest through investments.

The money originally came from Diana’s divorce from Charles, as well as from her shares, jewelry, cash, and personal belongings.

However, this was not the only money the couple now has access to. Meghan and Harry struck lucrative deals with Spotify and Netflix.

Harry also received a multi-million dollar inheritance from his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother, when she passed away.

Meghan’s net worth was around $ 9 million after her time acting in Suits and other projects.

Where did the rest of Diana’s money go?

Diana also left $ 11 million to Prince William, which has also increased since it was invested and earned interest.

Both brothers are said to have started receiving dividends when they turned 25 and the full amount at 30.

The ever-iconic Diana is also believed to have left money to her butler, sisters, mother, and godchildren.

What was Princess Diana’s net worth?

When Diana died in 1997, she had an estimated net worth of $ 41 million, most of which came from the settlement after her divorce from Prince Charles.

The amount she was awarded in the divorce was around $ 30 million, according to royal biographer Tina Brown. Diana also earned an annual salary of $ 720,000.
