Wondering how much Prince Harry is worth? The amount will blow your mind and it’s not as simple to calculate as well. Let’s find out!
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle cut all ‘financial’ ties with the Royal Family in 2020 when they stepped down as ‘senior royals.’ In a January 2020 statement released by the couple, they insisted that they want to ‘work to become financially independent.’
In September 2020, Kensington Palace also shared that the two will not receive any ‘public funds for royal duties.’ Ever since the former Royal left the UK, they have tried to build their own career through different ways.
What is Prince Harry’s net worth?
The calculation of Prince Harry’s net worth isn’t as simple as it looks. His net worth is a collective amount of all that he inherits from his Royal Lineage and what he does individually. For instance, Princess Diana reportedly left both Prince William and Prince Harry $10 million after taxes. They started receiving the funds at the age of 25 and get $450,000 a year.
In his interview on Oprah With Meghan and Harry: A CBS Primetime Special in March 2021, Harry shared that he uses his Trust from his mother to support his family after his father cut him off financially.
Prince Harry’s inheritance from other Royals
According to Cosmopolitan, the late Queen Elizabeth’s mom placed two-thirds of her money (£19 million) into a trust fund for Prince William and Prince Harry. Reportedly, the brothers took £6M of this trust at age 21 and the Duke took most of the money ‘to compensate for not becoming sovereign.’
After Prince Harry’s separation from the Royal Family, it is uncertain if he still has access to all the Royal funds he inherited from his family. Some profit from the Duchy of Cornwall - roughly around $8.9 million - went to Prince Harry and William in 2018. So it’s not known yet if he still receives that money from his father. Amidst all of this, Prince Harry’s net worth is estimated to be $60 million.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s ‘independent’ projects
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have taken up many independent projects since leaving the royals. Their Netflix deal was rumoured to be £80 million, although it is not known how much of it the couple has taken home. Despite cutting their Spotify deal, it is understood that they got ‘majorly compensated’ from the work they did on Archetypes - their podcast. Prince Harry and Meghan signed a deal with the Harry Walker Agency in June 2020 for speaking engagements, with fees estimated at $1 million per speech. The topic for Harry’s speeches included mental health and grieving.
In 2021, Harry and Meghan also launched Archetypes. It is also reported that the Sussex couple have a four-book deal with Penguin Random House and they received $20 million before the release of Prince Harry’s Spare.
