Prince Harry will reportedly receive a tidy sum in his grandfather Prince Philip’s $50million estate, despite his recent ‘truth bomb’ attacks on the Royal Family.
And while discussing the news on Australian breakfast show Sunrise on Friday, commentator Samantha Brett certainly didn’t hold back when it came to sharing her thoughts on the outspoken Duke of Sussex.
Samantha said that while the Duke of Edinburgh would probably have been ‘proud’ of his grandson for ‘standing up’ for himself, she hopes the windfall means she’ll never have to hear from Harry or his wife, Meghan Markle, again.

‘I’m interested to read all the news reports about calling Prince Harry “a rogue Royal”… like we didn’t know that all along,’ Samantha began.
‘Prince Philip knew that all along. I think he would be proud of Harry standing up for what he believes in.’
Samantha, who works as a news reporter for Channel Seven, then shared her own opinion of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – and it certainly wasn’t positive.

‘I hope this means we won’t be hearing from them, Harry and Meghan, any more in the media,’ she said.
A royal source has claimed that while most of Prince Philip’s £30million (AUD$50million) estate has gone to the Queen, money to his grandchildren was ‘sorted out quite a while ago’.
This means Harry could be set to receive some cash despite launching a series of fierce attacks on the Royal Family in his ‘truth bomb’ interviews in recent months.

‘Philip was not the sort of character to punish a grandson [Harry] for misbehaving. He was a very fair, even-handed and lovely man. Never held a grudge,’ a Buckingham Palace source told The Sun newspaper.
It comes after Harry and Oprah Winfrey – the Sussexes’ biggest cheerleader in the U.S. media – reunited for an Apple TV+ documentary series about mental health.
The Duke will speak to Oprah and other celebrities in the program titled The Me You Can’t See: A Path Forward.

The documentary has seen Harry speak about the trauma of his mother Princess Diana’s death, his concern for wife Meghan, and the reaction from other royals.
Harry had accused the Royal Family of racism during an earlier interview with Oprah in March and later suggested in a podcast interview the Queen and Philip had failed as parents.
The Duke’s future relationship with his father Prince Charles, brother Prince William and the rest of the Windsors has been brought into question following his repeated criticism of them.

He criticised Charles for expecting his sons to endure the pressures of royal life, and accused his family of ‘total neglect’ when his wife was feeling suicidal amid harassment on social media.
Harry also revealed he turned to drink and drugs as he dealt with the trauma of his mother’s death in later life.
The Me You Can’t See: A Path Forward will stream on Apple TV+ on May 28
