As tension within the royal family continues to mount, King Charles III is reportedly facing pressure to exclude Prince Harry from his $34 million inheritance. RadarOnline reports that the monarch, who is battling a serious illness, is being urged by senior courtiers and family members to ensure that Harry, long estranged from the royal institution, receives nothing.
The 76-year-old monarch is said to be suffering from pancreatic cancer, with insiders claiming his days as the reigning sovereign may be numbered. Sources close to the palace reveal that discussions about the King’s will have taken on new urgency as his condition worsens.
“Charles wrote his will long ago, but there’s significant pressure from family members and courtiers to amend it, ensuring Harry is excluded,” one insider told RadarOnline. “A lot of people in royal circles feel Harry does not deserve a dime, and they’re leaning on Charles to cut him off,” a palace insider revealed.
Much of the push for these changes reportedly comes from Prince William, who is positioned as the future king. Palace sources suggest that William is advocating for his father to step aside as his health declines, allowing him to assume the throne and stabilize the monarchy.
“William sees this as an opportunity to solidify the future of the crown,” the source noted. “Cutting Harry out is seen as a move to protect the family’s wealth and legacy.”
Prince Harry’s strained relationship with the royal family has been well-documented, particularly following his and Meghan Markle’s decision to step back from royal duties in 2020. Their subsequent move to California and public criticism of the monarchy in interviews, a Netflix docuseries, and Harry’s memoir Spare have only deepened the divide.
In Spare, Harry recounted private family disputes and alleged incidents of racism, such as speculation about the skin tone of his and Meghan’s unborn child. These revelations reportedly exacerbated tensions, leaving some family members and royal advisors pushing for his complete disinheritance.
While a representative for the palace has dismissed these reports as untrue, insiders claim the animosity towards Harry is palpable.
“There’s still so much resentment towards Harry,” one source explained, going on to suggest the ‘animosity towards him still runs deep.’ “Senior courtiers, who often guide the royal family’s decisions, have little resistance to the idea of excluding him entirely.”
As King Charles battles his illness and Prince William prepares for his eventual ascension to the throne, the royal family’s internal disputes appear far from resolved. Whether or not Harry’s inheritance is officially revoked remains to be seen, but the continued rift underscores a family divided at a critical juncture in its history.
For now, the world watches as Britain’s most famous institution faces unprecedented challenges, with personal feuds threatening its carefully maintained public image.
