Harry, the youngest son of Diana and Prince Charles and the third in line to the British throne, is spending his birthday continuing his pilot training in the Royal Air Force but that doesn't mean he is missing out on gifts for his 25 birthday. Prince Harry will be inheriting an estimated $15 million from his mother's estate.

Harry and his brother, Prince William, 27, were left equal shares in their mother's estate following her death in Paris in 1997. At the time, the shares were estimated to be about $10.6 million each. Most of Princess Diana's estate was comprised of her divorce settlement from Charles. The rest of her assets came from dresses and antique furniture she had at Kensington Palace as well as ownership of stocks, and jewelry. It has been invested for them since Diana's death.

The investments may have taken a hit from the global economic downturn but no one knows for sure. Harry is entitled to the interest on the money. William and Harry are allowed the principle at the age of 30.
