HOLIDAY NEWS -- Prince Harry reportedly inherited US$10.5 million from his great-grandmother, Queen Mother Elizabeth or Queen Mother, just on her 40th birthday on Sunday (15/9).

He received US$10.5 million or around Rp. 160 billion (US$1=Rp. 15,321) from Queen Mother Elizabeth for his great-grandchildren, which had been prepared since 1994. As reported by Page Six, Queen Elizabeth is said to have prepared the inheritance for Prince Harry and Prince William, and is estimated at US$25 million. Harry and William are said to be able to get the inheritance in two installments, namely on their 21st birthday and their 40th birthday.

The brothers then received US$7.9 million when they were 21 years old and another US$10.5 million on their 40th birthday.

"There was an inheritance fund set up at that time. This was the Queen Mother's way of setting aside money for her great-grandchildren when they were adults and a way to pass on property to save taxes," said a former palace aide, quoted by Page Six. "It's a way in which some of the property can be confirmed to be theirs," the source continued.

Queen Elizabeth and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother herself was born on 4 August 1900 and died at Royal Lodge on 30 March 2002.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry's birthday is September 15 and is said to be celebrating this special day with his wife, Meghan Markle. The birthday party was held at their home in the Montecito, California area.

Harry also received birthday greetings from his father, King Charles III, to his brother and sister-in-law, Prince William and Kate Middleton.

They wrote birthday greetings via social media uploads to the official royal family account.

These remarks came at a time when Harry and William's relationship was said to be still at odds. They are reportedly involved in a feud that has been going on since 2016.

At that time, William expressed concern that Harry's relationship with Meghan Markle was progressing so quickly. In 2020 or two years after getting married, Harry and Meghan announced they were stepping down from their royal roles and moving to the United States. Harry's problems with the British Royal family became even more complicated after he and Meghan Markle decided to create a number of content to reveal all the bitter experiences behind the palace walls.

Harry and Meghan will at least make an interview with Oprah in 2021, then the Harry and Meghan documentary series in 2022, and the book Spare written by Harry and released in 2023. William and Harry last appeared together in public in May 2023 at the coronation of King Charles. However, the two brothers also reportedly did not interact with each other there.

HOLIDAY NEWS --

Pangeran Harry dikabarkan mendapatkan warisan US$10,5 juta dari nenek buyutnya, Ibu Suri Elizabeth atau Ibu Ratu tepat saat berulang tahun ke-40 pada Minggu (15/9).

Ia menerima US$10,5 juta atau sekitar Rp160 miliar (US$1=Rp15.321) bersumber dari Ibu Suri Elizabeth untuk para cicit yang disiapkan sejak 1994.

Diberitakan Page Six, Ratu Elizabeth disebut menyiapkan warisan itu untuk Pangeran Harry dan Pangeran William, serta diperkirakan mencapai US$25 juta.

Harry dan William dikabarkan bisa mendapatkan warisan itu dalam dua kali angsuran, yakni pada ulang tahun ke-21 dan ulang tahun ke-40.

Kakak beradik itu kemudian menerima US$7,9 juta saat mereka berusia 21 tahun dan US$10,5 juta lainnya saat berulang tahun ke-40.

"Ada dana warisan yang disiapkan pada masa itu. Ini merupakan cara Ibu Suri menyisihkan uang untuk cicitnya ketika sudah dewasa dan cara mewariskan properti agar hemat pajak," ujar mantan ajudan istana, dikutip dari Page Six.

"Itu adalah cara di mana sebagian propertinya dapat dipastikan menjadi milik mereka," lanjut sumber tersebut.

Ibu Suri Elizabeth atau Queen Elizabeht the Queen Mother sendiri lahir pada 4 Agustus 1900 dan meninggal dunia di Royal Lodge pada 30 Maret 2002.

Sedangkan Pangeran Harry berulang tahun pada 15 September dan disebut merayakan hari spesial itu bersama sang istri, Meghan Markle. Pesta ulang tahun itu diadakan di rumah mereka di kawasan Montecito, California.

Harry juga sempat mendapat ucapan ulang tahun dari ayahnya, Raja Charles III, hingga kakak dan iparnya, Pangeran William serta Kate Middleton.

Mereka menuliskan ucapan ulang tahun melalui unggahan media sosial akun resmi keluarga kerajaan.

Ucapan itu muncul di tengah hubungan Harry dan William yang disebut masih berselisih. Mereka dikabarkan terlibat perseteruan yang terjadi sejak 2016.

Kala itu, William menyatakan kekhawatiran atas hubungan Harry dengan Meghan Markle yang berjalan begitu cepat.

Pada 2020 atau dua tahun setelah menikah, Harry dan Meghan mengumumkan pengunduran diri mereka dari peran kerajaan dan pindah ke Amerika Serikat.

Masalah Harry dengan keluarga Kerajaan Inggris kian runyam setelah dirinya dan Meghan Markle memutuskan membuat sejumlah konten untuk mengeluarkan semua pengalaman pahit di balik dinding istana.

Harry dan Meghan setidaknya membuat sebuah wawancara dengan Oprah pada 2021, lalu serial dokumenter Harry and Meghan pada 2022, dan buku Spare yang ditulis oleh Harry dan rilis pada 2023.

William dan Harry terakhir kali muncul bersama di depan umum pada Mei 2023 ketika penobatan Raja Charles. Namun, kedua saudara itu juga dilaporkan tidak berinteraksi satu sama lain di sana.
