| HIST | Prince Harry in Iraq - Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne, is following royal tradition by serving in the armed forces as his father, grandfather and great-grandfather did before him. He is also following in the footsteps of other members of his family by placing himself in harm’s way in battle, like his great-grandfather King George VI in World War I, and most recently his uncle, Prince Andrew, who piloted a helicopter during the Falkland Islands conflict. • Prince Harry will deploy to southern Iraq in May with his unit, the Hoursehold Cavalry, and is training for combat, learning how to dodge roadside bombs and respond to mortar attacks. The BBC reports that he said, during an interview on his 21st birthday: “There’s no way I’m going to put myself through Sandhurst and then sit on my arse back home while my boys are out fighting for their country. That may sound very patriotic, but it’s true. It’s not the way anyone should really work.” • Strange to say, the ancient royal tradition that sends young princes to the battlefield also seems to be paying off in a very modern sense. Salaam Radhi Oufi, a correspondent in Iraq for the Institute for War & Peace Reporting, reports that “The prince’s imminent arrival in proving to be a major public relations coup for the British army.” • The people of Basra, where the prince will be stationed, are abuzz over “the prospect of having royalty in their midst and intend to give him a warm welcome,” he says, adding: “Many residents here say they are impressed that the youngest son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana is willing to serve in Iraq....Accustomed to seeing the children of their own leaders enjoying lives of privilege and comfort, they are surprised and pleased at the egalitarian approach of a British prince serving in the army like any ordinary citizen.” • If an ancient royal tradition teaches egalitarianism to other modern rulers, royal and non-royal, the young prince will have achieved much more than a public relations coup for the British Army. He will have delivered a lesson on constitutional monarchy and democracy, and in an area of the world where royal families are not known for carrying out their constitutional responsibilities or for their respect for democracy. 7 days ago — Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip attending Royal Ascot in Berkshire, England , 2015. © Twocoms/Shutterstock.com.

Following his death at the age of 99, many are wondering what Prince Philip‘s net worth is and who may inherit his fortune. Not unlike his wife and monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, it’s safe to say that the Duke of Edinburgh amassed a great deal of wealth over his lifetime. Below, we dive into what might happen to it now that he is no longer with us— but first, read on for a bit of background on the Iron Duke himself. Long before he became the Queen’s husband, Philip was already born into royalty as the Prince of Greece and Denmark. His parents, Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and Princess Alice of Battenberg, were in line for the Greek throne until they were exiled when he was only eighteen months old. Together they fled with his four eldest sisters, Princesses Cecilie, Margarita, Sophie, and Theodora, to France. There, Philip was educated in Paris (and later Germany and the United Kingdom) before eventually joining the British Royal Navy in 1939 at the age of 18. By March of 1939, Philip was a naturalized British citizen and adopted the last name Mountbatten from his mother’s family, otherwise abandoning his Greek and Danish royal titles. It was in that year he also began exchanging letters with Queen Elizabeth, who he would later go on to marry in 1947. On the eve of their wedding, Lieutenant Mountbatten was formally named Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merioneth, and Baron of Greenwich, and given the title of His Royal Highness. As well as inheriting these royal titles, Prince Philip went on to amass a wide range of assets and money alongside his wife, the Queen. So how much was Prince Philip’s net worth, exactly? Read on below for Prince Philip’s net worth, along with what could happen to his estate following his death at the age of 99 in April 2021. It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle. The Royal Family join with people around the world in mourning his loss. Further announcements will be made in due course. Visit www.royal.uk via the link in our bio. What was Prince Philip’s salary? As the Queen’s husband, Prince Philip earned a royal allowance from the Sovereign Grant, an official expense account paid for by British taxpayers, of around $500,00 (or £400,000) per year. While it’s unclear if Philip continued to receive this allowance following his retirement from official royal duties in 2017, he still maintained access to funds earned by a private portfolio of properties, lands, and assets set up by the Duchy of Lancaster in 1399. As the Queen, Her Majesty also maintains a private income from the Duchy of Lancaster estate. Together, the couple is also believed to share a portfolio of stocks and land inherited by the Queen’s family, such as Balmoral Castle in Scotland and Sandringham Estate in England. Who will inherit Prince Philip’s estate? As most of Prince Philip’s estate was shared between him and the Queen, it is likely that Her Majesty will continue to hold onto Philip’s assets following his death. The royal couple also shares four children—Prince Charles, 72, Princess Anne, 70, Prince Andrew, 61, and Prince Edward, 57. As Philip’s children, they are also likely to inherit a share of his assets. What is Prince Philip’s net worth in 2021? At the time of his death in April 2021, Prince Philip reportedly had a net worth of around $30 million, or £24 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. [5, 6, 8] | |
