Amid ongoing tensions within the British royal family, insiders claim King Charles III is facing mounting pressure to remove Prince Harry from his inheritance. Sources close to the monarchy suggest that senior courtiers and family members, including Prince William and Queen Camilla, are urging the ailing monarch to amend his will, leaving Harry without a share of the royal fortune.
The claims, first reported by RadarOnline and echoed in other outlets, suggest that Charles, 76, who is reportedly battling pancreatic cancer, has been advised to finalize his estate planning. His will, which insiders say was drafted long ago, is now under scrutiny by members of the royal inner circle.
"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 source told RadarOnline. The source further added that "the animosity toward Harry runs deep" within the family, largely fueled by his high-profile criticisms of the monarchy in interviews, documentaries, and his 2023 memoir, Spare.
Harry, 40, and his wife, Meghan Markle, have been estranged from the royal family since their decision to step back from royal duties in 2020. The couple's subsequent revelations, including allegations of racism and mistreatment, have exacerbated the rift.
The controversy surrounding Harry intensified with the release of Spare, which contained detailed accounts of family tensions. Many royal observers noted that the book appeared to solidify the divide, particularly with Prince William, who insiders say has been vocal about his brother's potential exclusion from the royal inheritance.
"There's still so much animosity towards Harry," one insider said. "It's the senior courtiers that run the royal family's business and make the hard decisions. But they're not getting much resistance to this idea among the family."
Reports also suggest that Queen Camilla has been a driving force behind the monarch's refusal to reconcile with Harry during his recent visits to the U.K. "She's made it her mission to protect Charles from any sort of stress, and in her view that's all Harry brings," the source claimed. "It's now at a point where she's saying Charles shouldn't even be taking Harry's calls, that it would be bad for his stress levels and general anxiety."
The financial implications of Harry's potential exclusion are significant. The royal family's collective wealth is estimated at $34 billion, with Charles' personal estate reportedly worth $34 million. While Harry received $10 million from a trust fund set up by his late great-grandmother upon turning 40, his reliance on royal ties for additional financial support has been a contentious issue within the family.
According to insiders, the royal family views disinheritance as a form of accountability. "The royals are nowhere near forgiving them and feel there should be some sort of punishment meted out," a palace source said. "Which is why this idea of cutting him out of the will has got real legs."
However, such a move could irreparably damage the already fragile relationship between Harry and his family. It will "likely be the final nail in the coffin for any kind of reconciliation," Another tipster warned.
The timing of these discussions is further complicated by King Charles' health. Reports of his pancreatic cancer have raised concerns about the urgency of estate planning. "There isn't a lot of time to figure this out. The royals hate the idea of Harry getting anything from the Windsors, so the feeling is that now's the time to put it down on paper," another insider said.
Despite the family tensions, Harry continues to make public appearances and advocate for causes close to his heart. Most recently, he and Meghan were seen assisting wildfire victims in Pasadena, California, where they worked with local organizations to distribute food and supplies.
