Princess Beatrice’s net worth is reportedly now just a few years away from receiving a boost. The Royal is expected to gain a share of £5 million bequeathed by the late Queen Mother when she turns 40, just like her cousin, Prince Harry, will.
It comes after Queen Elizabeth II’s mother decided to leave her great-grandchildren most of her assets. To ensure her wishes were carried out after her death, in 1994, the Queen Mother put £19 million (approximately two thirds of her money) into a trust fund for this generation of Royals.
According to The Guardian, Prince William and Prince Harry were left the majority of the money, splitting £6 million of the trust between them when they turned 21, and the brothers also get to split another £8 million upon their 40th birthdays. The Times suggest Harry is set to receive a larger split than his brother.

The remaining £5 million will likely be split around the rest of the Queen Mother’s 10 great-grandchildren. If the share given to Harry and William is anything to go by, Beatrice would likely command the greatest split of the £5m given she’s the closest in line to the throne among her remaining cousins.
Although she won’t receive as much money as her older cousins, Princess Beatrice and her sister Eugenie previously made millions when their parents’ marriage came to an end in the nineties.

According to reports, they gained £3 million from the British royal family as part of the settlement, with £1.4 million of that amount going into a trust for Beatrice and Eugenie.
King Charles’s nieces were taken off the Sovereign Grant list of royals who receive money from the UK government when they graduated from university.
After Beatrice graduated in 2011, she held down a variety of jobs, including at Sony Pictures and at software company Afiniti, where she landed a role as Vice President of Strategic Partnerships.
Celebrity Net Worth claims that Princess Beatrice currently stands at about $1 million (£786k), but it’s unclear whether or not this sum is in liquid assets and it will certainly increase when she turns 40.

Beatrice’s husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi is also said to be worth millions, as the founder of a property consultancy firm called Banda. It specialises in discreetly finding and developing multi-million-pound homes for wealthy clients.
Meanwhile, Beatrice’s younger sister Eugenie is worth up to $4.5 million (£3.5m), according to estimates, and holds down a job as associate director for the contemporary art gallery Hauser & Wirth.
Beatrice’s cousin Harry is reportedly worth $60 million (£47m), with his wealth appearing to have multiplied following his departure from the Royal Family, alongside wife Meghan Markle.
Her older cousin Prince William’s net worth is estimated at a jaw-dropping $100 million (£78m), and also boasts an array of high-value assets, including the grand Anmer Hall in Norfolk, which he owns together with wife Princess Kate.
