Prince Harry to accept $8.5 million inheritance as it’s ‘money that’s owed to him’: ex-palace staffer
a massive $8.5 million cash bonus thanks to arrangements made by his late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.After much speculation over whether Harry will accept the money given that he’s no longer a working member of the royal family, it appears as though the duke will not be saying “no.”“I’ve no doubt that Harry will accept it, it’s money that’s owed to him, money that’s coming to him,” King Charles’ former royal butler Grant Harrold exclusively told The Post.“I don’t think he will decline the money, it’s inheritance so it’s his right,” he said, adding that “it’s already something that has been set in place for years now.”The late Queen Elizabeth II’s mother put $90 million into a trust fund for her family, and listed that Harry was to access his share of the trust when he turned 40 as one of the fund’s stipulations.Unlike his estranged brother, who received a ceremonial bell concert at Westminster Abbey on the milestone birthday, Harry is reportedly set to receive a larger share than what William received on his 40th birthday.“[The money] will be part of Harry’s birthday celebrations which will hopefully see him receive well wishes from his family and celebrate with his wife and family, doing something very nice but probably in private — as what I’ve experienced with the royals before, is that they like to celebrate these things privately behind closed doors,” Harrold said.It was reported that William and his wife, Princess Catherine, were left “disgusted” at Harry’s share of the inheritance.Sources close to the Prince and Princess of Wales told Closer last month that the pair feel the duke is not deserving of the income.The hefty sum of money will be a welcome addition to the Duke and Duchess of

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle are likely ‘drowning out the outside noise’ amid ESPYs backlash: They’re ‘very used to criticism’
the recent blowback from Harry’s ESPY Award nod proved to be no different.Harry, 39, was named the recipient of the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the 2024 ESPYs, and is set to be honored at Thursday’s star-studded ceremony hosted by Markle’s pal, Serena Williams.However, the announcement didn’t sit right with many, including the late hero’s mom, Mary Tillman, who slammed ESPN and claimed she was never consulted about the decision.As the backlash continued to plague the Duke’s military recognition, former royal butler Grant Harrold says that the duo aren’t experiencing anything they haven’t already.The Sussexes are “very used to the criticism, given everything that’s gone on over the last few years,” Harrold, who worked for King Charles for seven years, exclusively told The Post.“I’m sure they’ll be drowning out the outside noise by continuing with their normal and everyday life and trying not to turn on the television, or read the papers as much.”“They’re being talked about constantly, given their profiles,” he continued. “From what I remember, Harry was always an extremely private person, so I’m not sure how he’ll feel about that, but I can imagine his way of coping with the attention is to carry on as normal,” he added on behalf of Fruity Slots.Earlier this week, Harrold suggested that the father of two is “feeling quite sad” about the negative response to him being named as the award’s recipient.What’s more, the former royal staffer said it’s possible the Duke could decline the prestigious award.“He’d never want to cause any upset,” Harrold said.
