    Prince Harry 'to inherit staggering fortune in weeks' - and it's more than Prince William

    Prince Harry is set to receive a hefty fortune in the coming weeks . His great-grandmother, the late Queen Mother, had an estimated fortune of £70million which she placed into a trust fund for her family.

    The Duke of Sussex is expected to receive a £7million share when he turns 40 on September 15, according to Australian magazine New Idea, citing The Times. Along with significant earnings from the Netflix deal he and Meghan Markle signed in September 2020, Harry and his brother William received a substantial amount of money from the tax-exempt Duchy of Cornwall.

    The most recent estimate of Harry and Meghan's combined net worth is around $60million (about £46million). Harry is likely to receive a larger share of the generous bequest than his older brother, due to the financial management within the Royal Family.

    As next in line to the throne, William will benefit from the vast wealth of the Duchy of Cornwall, a private estate that funds the public, charitable and private activities of the King's heir. Consequently, Harry is likely to receive slightly more than half of the £ 14 million allocated for the brothers.

    Despite this seemingly enviable sum, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are among the least wealthy in their circle of friends, reports the Express .

    George Clooney, tipped by some in the Democratic Party as a potential presidential candidate after the unexpected announcement that Joe Biden won't seek re-election in 2024, boasts a fortune that vastly exceeds that of Harry and Meghan. He and his high-profile barrister wife Amal have a combined wealth of about $560million.

    Tyler Perry, rumored to be Princess Lilibet's godfather by various insiders, extended the hospitality of his over $ 15 million (£ 12 million) estate to Harry and Meghan during their early days in California . His net worth is believed to be around $1.4billion.

    Oprah Winfrey, who lives near Harry and Meghan and hosted their headline-making "Megxit" interview in 2021 where they leveled racism allegations towards a Royal Family member, dwarfs their wealth considerably.

    Coming from humble beginnings with a single mother in the depths of Mississippi poverty, the "Queen of Media" has accumulated vast riches through her media dominion, with personal assets estimated at $2.8billion (£2.2billion).
