Prince Harry is “doing well financially,” Lady Victoria Hervey has claimed as she dismissed concerns about the duke’s finances.
The comments come after Harry turned 40, triggering access to the substantial inheritance left by his great-grandmother.
Aristocrat Lady Victoria Hervey said: “He got an extra chunk of money for his birthday.
“So we don’t know how he’s deciding to spend that. I’m sure that will come in very handy for what they [him and Meghan Markle] want to do next.”

Lady Hervey said: “But look, he’s making it he’s got so many different deals that he’s on. He’s obviously doing pretty well.”
