Prince Harry turned 40yo this year, and he inherited a large sum of money, making him the latest in a long line of super-rich Royals with multiple income streams. So in this Squiz Shortcut, we'll look at the wealth of the British Royal Family, where they get their money from, and how they spend it. 

Squiz recommends:

Reading: This article from The Conversation called Did the King Just Get a Pay Rise? It’s a good explainer about how the Crown Estate and the Sovereign Grant work, and how the funding agreements have been worked out between the Royals and the British government.

Watching: The Netflix series The Crown about the Royal Family. It’s a fictional account of their lives portrayed oh-so-realistically. It’s beautifully shot and directed, and full of delicious gossip and interesting details.
