Prince Harry is set to get £8million when he turns 40 after the Queen Mother set aside a lump sum for her great-grandchildren 30 years ago.

A former Palace aide told the Times: ‘There was a trust fund set up at the time. It was a way in which the Queen Mother could set aside money for when her great-grandchildren were older and a way of passing a slice of her estate down in a tax-efficient way.
