Aside from what belonged to the monarchy, the Queen possessed a large personal fortune. She was able to determine who got what after her death because of her own fortune.
She presumably desired to ensure that her personal jewel collection went to someone she trusted and appreciated. And who that individual is may ruffle some feathers in the family.
It was no secret that Meghan Markle was not the Royal Family’s favorite daughter-in-law. People believed the Queen was displeased when claims of bigotry and special treatment surfaced after the Sussexes stepped down from their roles in the family.
The interviews Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made about their struggle as royals cast a poor image on the family, causing a breach between Harry, his father, and his brother.
With the death of the Queen, the royal line of succession has shifted dramatically. While King Charles will acquire everything left to the Crown, the Queen’s personal assets will be distributed.
Kate Middleton is predicted to do very well. She is said to be the heir to the late monarch’s enormous and costly jewelry collection. The Queen’s personal collection is worth around $110 million and contains 300 unique items.
A source expressed that the Queen has been focused on her cherished things and who deserves what. There are murmurs that she’s made some last-minute adjustments to her will that will come as a surprise to her heirs.
Kate, it appears, will profit the most from the judgments taken. Kate is certainly the family favorite, according to the insider. According to the source, this approach may irritate the Queen consort Camilla and Prince Harry’s wife, the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle.
Queen consort Camila had always been jealous of how close her mother-in-law was to Kate Middleton. Given Camila’s rocky relationship with the king, this comes as no surprise.
Apart from Camilla, Meghan and her daughter Lilibet, according to the royal source, should not anticipate much. There’s a very high probability the Queen won’t leave either of them any valuable diamonds, he says.
It’s not surprising, given that they’re no longer members of the royal family, he adds, but it would be a terrible slap in the face. According to the same source, Kate and William are unconcerned about inheriting items from Queen Elizabeth’s personal collection since they know where they stand with the monarch.
While Kate is anticipated to pass some of the pieces on to her daughter Princess Charlotte, the Prince and Princess of Wales are concerned that Lilibet may feel left out, according to reports. However, they are unconcerned with Meghan or her sentiments.
According to the insider, it may be a message from the Queen to Harry and Meghan- You get what you sow.
While this is just conjecture for the time being because the Queen’s will for her personal asset has not been made public, it will be fascinating to see what insiders have to say.
What do you think if the Queen did not leave anything from her personal jewelry collection to Meghan and Lilibet? Please let us know in the comments section below.
