For June payments, can we please get it sent to a different account when it's time? Thank you.'""The statement 'can we please' is not accurate as I had no personal contact with Josh on July 08, 2024.

"However, it is my belief that this is a simple case with straightforward accounting over a short period of time, any fees and costs should be minimal.""Like all hard-working mothers, my life revolves around my children and my work. It is my understanding that Josh has his own income and therefore he should not need any spousal support from me," she added. Christina's union with Joshua marked her third marriage.The "Christina on the Coast" star finalized her divorce from her second husband, Ant Anstead, in June 2021.

'Family Ties' star Justine Bateman says Hollywood's use of new tech is 'motivated by greed' Justine Bateman continues to push back against AI's infiltration of Hollywood.The former "Family Ties" actress and filmmaker is launching a new film festival, the CREDO 23 Film Festival, requiring that entrants not use AI in their submissions."As we've seen over the last year, we've had a lot of streamers, embracing AI studios, embracing AI, and more recently, film festivals embracing AI. And I just feel like the use of generative AI is, it's theft, and you're never going to find out what you can really do. It's just a regurgitation of the past. You're sort of circling the drain," Bateman told Fox News Digital of her inspiration behind the festival. She continued, "It's not the future. It's something that is going to increasingly occur in the future, but it's not the future of filmmaking. The future of filmmaking is whatever this next genre is going to be. You know, we haven't really had a new genre in the arts of any real wide significance since the '90s. So, I think we're long due for that. And I believe it's going to happen on the other side of this AI inferno." WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?  Bateman laid out how she sees the next few years in Hollywood, with AI making major gains despite current provisions and protections. "I think the use of general AI will take over our business, and it will pull too many of the jobs in our pipeline out and then consequently collapse the structure of our business, which is just sort of corporate physics. That's just what happens," the "Desperate Housewives" actress said. "And I think the audiences will be taken with it and, like the fact that they can face replace themself on, [for example] Luke Skywalker in their viewing of 'Star Wars' at night or get films that are customized to their own viewing history, that'll be treated like Kleenex. [Studios] won't bother to copyright those. That'll just be - that's something you got to watch that day, and they can make you 45 more the next day." She also sees an inevitable pushback against AI as well, especially as it begins to move into other industries and people's everyday lives."I think they'll get to a point where the audiences will start feeling sick about it, and be bored with it, and also feel sick about how generative AI is infecting the rest of their lives, [their] education, insurance companies, your banks, everything. And at the same time, filmmakers will have had to differentiate themselves from what I can do in making really new material, making films that I can't do cheaper and quicker. And I think when you bring those two things together, where the audience is going to get to and where the filmmakers are going to get to, I think you'll have a new genre in the arts, and I'm really excited about that."

CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS  Bateman did advise that anyone working in film now should "try to make as much money as you can in the next two years. And/or get to know the producers and directors who are using full crews, like myself, there are many others who are not using generative AI, and work with them. Because everything is shifting and changing, motivated by greed." "And that's why it's being used," she added. "It is not being used because it makes better films. It's being used because it makes volume content production faster and cheaper." Bateman started CREDO 23 last year, an organization of people "that hold filmmaking sacred, and understand their responsibility to preserve the art form," as stated on their website.Joining Bateman on the council are actress Juliette Lewis, "Mad Men" showrunner Matt Weiner, "Handmaid's Tale" showrunner Reed Morano, and costume designer Arianne Phillips. "[When] I founded CREDO 23, I was, at the time, talking to quite a few people about how disconcerting the involvement of AI was in our business. And so of those people I was speaking to, I asked a few of them if they'd be on the council with me . . . and they happily accepted," Bateman said. "So, it's great to have their input and, and I respect all of them so much as artists. It's a great group."  WATCH: JUSTINE BATEMAN EXPLAINS WHAT INSPIRED HER NEW NO-AI FILM FESTIVAL The "Violet" director added that the council will also make up some of the programmers for the festival, which begins accepting submissions on August 1 through October 31.

ASHTON KUTCHER DOUBLES DOWN ON AI COMMENTS AFTER FACING BACKLASH: 'NEED TO BE PREPARED' FOR WHAT'S COMING The event also promises grants, created from the profits of the festival, to participants. "All the money that we pull in, through the various means, submissions, sponsorships, whatever, everything in excess of operating costs is going to be given to the filmmakers so that they can make more films," Bateman said.CREDO 23 offers filmmakers the opportunity to add a stamp to the credits of their films, certifying that they have not used AI in any way, particularly generative AI, as well as minimal CGI use, and hiring union crews. "The response to the film festival has been fantastic. People are really excited about it. It's not only, you know, refusing the use of AI, it's looking for fresh, really fresh, new filmmaking." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER She added, "I want to be doing films that are the next wave of filmmaking. What did we do during our time as filmmakers? Did we just regurgitate the past? Or did we bring something new? And...new in the way that independent film was new. At some point, musicals were new. At some point, blockbusters were new, at some point, film noir was new. So what are we contributing to it? And it's certainly not going to be regurgitating material that has been stolen from all the other filmmakers in the last 100 years, which is what generative AI is."Bateman has been speaking out against the use of AI since at least last year, when the technology came into heavy focus during the writers' and actors' strikes last summer."I think AI has no place in Hollywood at all. To me, tech should solve problems that humans have," Batemen told Fox News Digital last May at the beginning of the writers' strike. " Using ChatGPT  or any ... software that's using AI to write screenplays, using that in place of a writer is not solving a problem. We don't have a lack of writers. We don't have a lack of actors. We don't have a lack of directors. We don't have a lack of talented people."The strikes lasted until the fall for both unions, and resulted in some key provisions for both actors and writers to protect their livelihoods from being replaced by AI. JUSTINE BATEMAN RIPS AI USE IN HOLLYWOOD, SAYS TECHNOLOGY IS 'GETTING AWAY FROM BEING HUMAN' However, in June, The Hollywood Reporter shared a report that many in the entertainment industry are quietly using AI behind the scenes.David Stripinis, a VFX professional who has worked on films like "Avatar," "Man of Steel" and several Marvel titles, told the outlet, "There are tons of people who are using AI, but they can't admit it publicly because you still need artists for a lot of work. And they're going to turn against you. Right now, it's a PR problem more than a tech problem." "There's definitely people using it. And I say, do whatever you got to do. For me, it's an anathema to actually moving forward as an artist. So I won't ever use it for anything," Bateman told Fox News Digital. She continued, "I don't care how long it takes instead, or how many CGI artists I would have to hire instead. I just don't care. I'm not going to use stolen work. I'm not going to stunt my own growth as an artist, which is how I see it. So it makes no difference to me if other people use it. But it's the opposite direction of where I'm going creatively and professionally." 'TOP GUN' PRODUCER SAYS HE DOESN'T BELIEVE CLAIMS AI WILL REPLACE KEY JOBS Through her work, and now her film festival, Bateman is pushing back at the idea of movies and television as "content," saying last year, "even referring to films and series as content to begin with, I think is ... insulting."She also noted that people and audiences do genuinely appreciate the efforts that go into making a movie. WATCH: JUSTINE BATEMAN EXPLAINS WHY AI IS NOT AS 'IMPRESSIVE' AS HUMAN CREATIVITY RIDLEY SCOTT WARNS AI WILL BE 'TECHNICAL HYDROGEN BOMB' IN FILM INDUSTRY "People love to hear about what you went through to get there," she said, citing Tom Cruise's incredible stunt work in the "Mission: Impossible" films as an example. "They love hearing how other humans have managed to get something done. And you see something that's done with AI and you just [shrugging] shrug emoji. You know, it's nothing. It doesn't enrich us. It doesn't take us further. It doesn't. It doesn't make us happy," she said."It's not only more impressive if a person did it, but it's also more encouraging to the viewer. . . . That's really exciting to people when they see that you came up with this completely inventive way to get that shot." Bateman continued, "I love hearing how humans managed to get something done, because that means so can you. And if you just heard that some AI algorithm chewed up a bunch of old work and spat something out. [It feels like a] shrug emoji, like it's really not impressive." She added, "I think it's a parlor trick, and I'm not impressed with it, and I find it unexciting and depressing. I find it completely depressing. So I'm all in on human-made films, human-made for human viewing. And, I'm really excited about the future."  Meghan Markle's possible return to UK won't open door for royal peace talks: expert Prince Harry will be hosting the Invictus Games for the first time in 10 years, and several royal experts believe Meghan Markle will put on a brave face and join him across the pond. People magazine reported that the Duke of Sussex's Paralympic-style sports tournament will take place in Birmingham, England, in July 2027. The city was chosen over Washington, D.C. The upcoming Invictus Games, scheduled for February 2025, will take place in Vancouver and Whistler, Canada.If the Duchess of Sussex joins the prince, it will mark her first time in the U.K. since Queen Elizabeth II died in 2022. MEGHAN MARKLE 'REMORSEFUL' OVER KATE MIDDLETON FEUD, BUT 'FROSTY' RELATIONSHIP LIKELY BEYOND REPAIR: EXPERTS "There's zero chance of Meghan missing the Invictus Games," Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," told Fox News Digital. "I guess that she will be there, briefly, but without [their children] Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Meghan and Harry's security concerns are legitimate, but the rest of the royal family doesn't see it that way. Neither do the British courts.""The feeling in the U.K. is that the Sussexes are no longer working royals, and therefore are not entitled to state-funded police protection," Andersen pointed out. "Harry has one more legal appeal left, but that's a long shot."While many royal watchers are hoping a possible appearance by the duchess could spark peace talks with both families, royal expert Hilary Fordwich claims that won't happen anytime soon."Prince William summarized extremely well how he feels about Meghan Markle, as documented by Harry, before getting into a physical fight at Kensington Palace in 2019, according to his memoir 'Spare,'" Fordwich told Fox News Digital."Harry wrote that William called Meghan 'difficult,' 'rude' and 'abrasive,' all traits not appreciated by the British," said Fordwich. "The royals have had zero reason to change their feelings regarding Meghan Markle." WATCH: MEGHAN MARKLE 'MOVED ON' FROM ROYAL FAMILY DRAMA, AUTHOR CLAIMS Harry has had a strained relationship with his family and has seen his father, King Charles III, infrequently since he and his wife quit royal duties in 2020 and moved to California. At the time, the couple said it was the unbearable intrusions and racist attitudes of the British press that prompted them to step back as senior royals. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER The British prince has since detailed his rocky relationship with his family in TV interviews, a documentary and his memoir."It may mean that the Games is overshadowed by the royal rift as other royals almost certainly won't attend," royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News Digital. "... there may be more harmony by 2027, but I wouldn't bet on it!""... For a long time, Meghan has been extremely unpopular in Britain," said Fitzwilliams. "Also, much may be determined by the security issue, with Harry being granted [the chance] to appeal against the decision to withdraw the automatic police protection he and his family once had when they were senior working royals.""... If he wins, they may both come," Fitzwilliams continued. "However, their unpopularity has soared in Britain because of the way they monetized their royal status and the brutality of their attacks on the royal family. Given their abysmal poll ratings, Meghan may keep away."Harry's legal battle over his security in the U.K. started more than four years ago. The 39-year-old claimed he and his family were endangered when visiting his home country because of hostility towards him and his wife, 42. Harry pointed out that the couple had been faced with ruthless hounding by the U.K. news media.In response, a government lawyer said Harry had been treated fairly and was still provided protection on some of his visits. The lawyer cited a security detail that guarded the prince in June 2021, when he was chased by photographers after attending an event with seriously ill children in west London. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER In February, High Court Judge Peter Lane ruled that the panel's decision, which provides for "bespoke" security on an as-needed basis, was not unlawful, irrational, or unjustified.The panel decision was made by the Royal and VIP Executive Committee. The group is made up of members of the royal family staff, the Metropolitan Police, and several government offices.Andersen pointed out that the royal family could solve this matter, by allowing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to travel to the U.K. with ease - if they wanted to."Since we are talking about a single event and not necessarily a wholesale policy change, it's obvious that accommodations could be made," Andersen argued. "The king could solve this problem with a wave of his hand and order that Harry and his family be provided royal protection or, barring that, simply pay for it himself."The world's wealthiest and most powerful family certainly can afford to foot the security for Harry, Meghan and their children when they're in town. But that's not the point at this stage in the Internecine War of the Windsors.""Let's hope that by 2027, when Birmingham hosts Invictus, they will all have kissed and made up," Andersen continued. "If both sides are still hunkering down in their respective trenches, then there is no possibility that the King, Prince William, Kate Middleton, or any of the royals will attend the Invictus Games - even though they're being held right on the royal family's doorstep."In May, Harry arrived in London solo to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. A spokesperson confirmed that he didn't see his father, 75, during the visit.Charles, who had returned to official duties after being sidelined for three months with cancer , was too busy to meet up with his son, a spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex said."The duke of course is understanding of his father's ... commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon," a statement said.Harry previously rushed to London in February for a very brief visit after his father was diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer.Shortly after his last quick trip to London, Harry told "Good Morning America" that he thought his father's illness could help bring his family closer. PRINCE HARRY 'HOMESICK,' EAGER TO MAKE AMENDS AS MEGHAN MARKLE FOCUSES ON 'WINNING OVER HOLLYWOOD': EXPERT British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital it's not too late for the American actress to win over the U.K. public - and her in-laws."If Meghan hopes to mend her damaged reputation here in the U.K., she should travel to the U.K. and support her husband at the Invictus Games 2027," said Chard. "There is more than enough time to ensure a comprehensive robust security plan for the whole family. The royal family will also want them to be completely safe.""However, Meghan's busy life is in the U.S. - this is the life she knows and loves," Chard pointed out. "She has no attachment to the U.K.. She has moved on from her short time in the U.K. She has also made it very clear that... she feels people in the U.K. don't like her. She would never choose to visit the U.K. unless there was some gain.""But, coming to the U.K. would work in her and her family's favor," Chard continued. "It will be a chance for the whole family to reconnect, show unity and spotlight the Invictus Games. If handled correctly, she and her family will be seen in a positive light. This, in turn, will generate her brand sales." Meghan hasn't visited the U.K. since 2022. She has the excuse for the ongoing security debacle. However, a comprehensive security plan would always be provided for the whole family. Meghan's security fears are debatable, but she certainly fears being heckled in the U.K." PRINCE HARRY'S ESPY AWARDS SPEECH HONORS PAT TILLMAN'S MOTHER AFTER SHE SLAMMED DECISION TO GIVE HIM AWARD Modeled after the Warrior Games in the United States, Harry founded the Invictus Games in 2014 as a Paralympic-style event designed to inspire military veterans around the world as they work to overcome battlefield injuries. Harry was a former captain in the British Army. John Belushi defended Blues Brothers from music critics in newly unearthed clip Late comedian John Belushi formed the Blues Brothers with Dan Aykroyd in the late '70s for "Saturday Night Live," unknowingly creating a cult classic duo for the ages.As the musical pair gained popularity, appearing in weekly sketches, their celebrity status was cemented once "The Blues Brothers" movie was released in 1980.But not all pop culture enthusiasts were fans of the singing duo. In an unearthed 1979 interview shared for the first time as part of the Audible documentary, "Blues Brothers: The Arc of Gratitude," Belushi responded to criticism the band received as White men occupying spaces in the blues culture, which was predominantly spearheaded by Black artists. EDDIE MURPHY TURNED DOWN DRUGS WITH ROBIN WILLIAMS, JOHN BELUSHI: 'GOD WAS LOOKING OVER ME' Soho Weekly News music critic Steve Bloom in 1979 shared headlines with Belushi, some stating, "Can Belushi sing the whites?" and "Why the Brothers ain't got no blues.""It's just weird, you know?" Belushi said. "Why would I do these things? The people watching me understand why I do it, and the band members do. The other people - there's a certain amount of jealousy, I think, involved. ... Why do I do what I do? First of all, it has nothing to do with ego, it has nothing to do with money, you know, or the need to be loved by an audience. I don't have any of those feelings." JOHN BELUSHI'S WIDOW, ACTRESS, PRODUCER JUDY BELUSHI-PISANO, DEAD AT 73 He continued, "What the f--- do these people think I am, anyway? I can't f---ing understand why they would attack - see, when they attack me, they attack the band, and I hate when they attack the band, because then it makes them look like schmucks for doing what they did for me."Bloom believed critics were "attacking" Belushi."You see, there's a long line of cases where White musicians play Black music and make money while the Black musicians don't make the money, supposedly," Bloom said."That's not the purpose of the Blues Brothers," Belushi said. "I say on the record, 'Buy as many blues records as you can.' [I] introduce my band, which is never done. I share the stage with each member of the group, which is never done. I have Danny Aykroyd , you know; we all split everything right down the middle. I give the people, artists parts of the album. I'm putting them in a movie, you know? Nobody believes me." LORNE MICHAELS IRATE AT JOHN BELUSHI'S DRUG USE ON 'SNL': 'I WAS BETWEEN RAGE AND VERY LITTLE SYMPATHY' He added, "I'm not f---ing fantastic, but that's not the point."Three years after the interview, Belushi died of an overdose at the famous Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles in 1982. He was 33.The night before Belushi's death - March 4, 1982 - a book titled "The Castle on Sunset," claimed he partied with friends Robert De Niro and Robin Williams as well as a woman named Kathy Smith. She later pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter for supplying the comedian with his last fatal doses of cocaine and heroin, according to a report on the book.Belushi's manager informed Aykroyd of his death, and De Niro - who found out after calling the hotel numerous times - reportedly dropped the phone and cried when he realized what had happened. The hotel remodeled the room, hoping to avoid cult status, but their efforts failed, and tours of Hollywood's most notorious incidents frequent the hotel. To this day, Chateau Marmont is still synonymous with Belushi's death."After a night of drinking brandy, smoking cigarettes and consuming cocaine, John succumbed in Bungalow 3 of the Chateau Marmont in L.A. to a non-self-administered injection of mixed cocaine and heroin, commonly known as a speedball," Aykroyd says in the Audible sound clip. "He was 33 years of age. I was 29."Dan had been working on the "Ghostbusters" script in New York when he received the call about Belushi's death from their agent, Bernie Brillstein.

I thought, 'Oh no, it's too early for John to be back. And he would've called.' Then Danny came in, and I just knew something was wrong by the way he was standing."She added, "He sort of started to say something and not be able to say it. And he said, 'I don't know how to tell you.' And I kind of like grabbed him and said, 'Has he been hurt?' And he said, 'No, honey, he's dead.'"

That's a piece of trauma that will be with me forever," he said. "I lament that he's not around. It's more than wistfulness; it's a true lamentation. Losing him set me back for a full year, but then I just wanted to go on and do more work and carry on."In 2012, Aykroyd told Vanity Fair that filming the 1980 John Landis comedy with Belushi was anything but normal."We had a budget in the movie for cocaine for night shoots," he said."Everyone did it, including me. Never to excess and not ever to where I wanted to buy it or have it. [But] John, he just loved what it did. It sort of brought him alive at night, that superpower feeling where you start to talk and converse and figure you can solve all the world's problems."Belushi decided not to pursue rehab despite his addiction problems."I'm fine," Belushi told Judy at the time. "I can't stop now until I finish the movie. It'll be fine when it's over." Olivia Culpo defends decision to wear a modest wedding gown that didn't 'exude sex' after backlash When Olivia Culpo and star NFL running back Christian McCaffrey married in June, they had no idea the controversy they'd spark stemming from the model's wedding dress selection.  Culpo told Vogue ahead of her nuptials that she "didn't want [her dress] to exude sex in any way, shape, or form," a comment that provoked conversation. Some were thrilled to hear the model had chosen a more modest dress, others were appalled. Culpo and McCaffrey found the hate unsettling, calling out specific users on social media.

I hope you can find joy and peace in the world, the way my beautiful wife does," he commented on the Instagram reel.Bingham added that while she did not have a problem with the "simple, elegant" dress, she believed the gown had "no personality." She captioned the video , "From Miss Universe to Miss Pick Me, Olivia Culpo is earning her crown."Culpo later chimed in in the comment section on TikTok, calling Bingham a "bizarre human."She and McCaffrey married at the Watch Hill Chapel in Westerly, Rhode Island, with a reception held at the Ocean House.Culpo worked directly with Dolce & Gabbana to create not only her wedding dress, but also the welcome party, reception and after-party dresses. "That's what made me even more excited about this vision," she explained to Vogue of working with their atelier. "It's a covenant. It's the beginning of the rest of your life - and it's the union and bond of two people forever," she noted. "I wanted something that felt as serious as that commitment," she said of her wedding gown.The former Miss Universe also opted to wear minimal makeup for the ceremony, skipping mascara and eyebrow gel to ensure a more natural look."I wanted it to feel effortless and as if it's complimenting me, not overpowering me. There's so much beauty and simplicity," she said of the dress, a long-sleeve ballgown with minimal embellishments. She also wore a 16-foot veil.Despite the hubbub, Culpo says her wedding was great because she did it the way she wanted."I loved every part of my wedding because I love my husband and the people we got to celebrate that day with," she continued.

For June payments, can we please get it sent to a different account when it's time? Thank you.'" HGTV STAR CHRISTINA HAACK FILES FOR DIVORCE FROM THIRD HUSBAND "The statement 'can we please' is not accurate as I had no personal contact with Josh on July 08, 2024.

Priscilla Presley's lawyer defends suing business associates who allegedly duped actress out of $1M Priscilla Presley's lawyer defended filing a lawsuit against the actress' former business associates. Elvis Presley's ex-wife accused four ex-business associates of "meticulously planned" financial abuse, claiming she had been duped out of $1 million by the individuals."Contrary to the false statement that Priscilla's lawsuit against Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko was 'retaliatory,' the fact is that when Priscilla uncovered their unlawful scheme against her nearly a year ago, Priscilla made claims against them for the substantial monies they had wrongfully funneled to themselves," Presley's lawyer, Martin Singer, told Fox News Digital in a statement. "At that time, Priscilla also revoked any purported authority they professed to have to act on her behalf.""Several months later Kruse and Fialko reacted by filing their specious defensive lawsuit against Priscilla in the name of sham companies they set up, outlandishly claiming a right to more than 80% of her income in perpetuity," the statement continued. "It is ironic that they are attempting to characterize themselves as the victims since, as Priscilla alleges in her lawsuit, they made Priscilla a victim of their unscrupulous financial elder abuse when they fraudulently induced her to sign sham agreements for their own financial benefit so they could reap 80% of her income forever. We look forward to the court holding defendants fully accountable for their outrageous wrongdoing."

The actress claimed she was tricked into signing contracts handing over 80% of her income and has lost over $1 million. Presley sued for financial elder abuse, fraud in the inducement, breach of fiduciary duty and legal malpractice.Representatives for Kruse slammed Presley's lawsuit as "retaliatory" in a statement shared on July 22."The suit filed is a retaliatory lawsuit due to the one filed by Priscilla's business partners last year," the statement read, according to People magazine . "We are confident that the facts will speak for themselves and justice will prevail.""It saddens all of us who dropped our lives to provide aid to a woman who needed help and she is now attempting to use her celebrity status to ruin the lives of kind, hardworking people," the statement continued.

Presley allegedly met Kruse, who ran an Elvis Presley memorabilia shop, in 2021.According to Singer, the group convinced Presley that her former business advisors were "deceitful or incompetent" and that she was losing out on millions."By isolating her and immersing themselves in every aspect of her life, the Defendants were able to fraudulently induce Presley into giving them power of attorney, control over her family and personal trusts, and control over her bank accounts," the court docs stated.

Prince Harry's inheritance payday on 40th birthday to eclipse Prince William's cut as 'the spare': expert Prince Harry is expected to have a very happy birthday this year.On the Duke of Sussex's 40th birthday - Sept. 15 - the British royal is expected to get a significant cash haul due to arrangements made by his late great-grandmother.The Queen Mother died in 2002 at the age of 101. PRINCE WILLIAM 'COMMANDS RESPECT' FROM PRINCE HARRY, REFUSES TO 'LAY DOWN THE HATCHET' AS FEUD DEEPENS: EXPERT "The Queen Mother placed two-thirds of her [estimated] $120 million fortune into a trust fund for her great-grandchildren," Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," explained to Fox News Digital."She knew that when Prince William became Prince of Wales, which he did when his father became king, he would inherit the Duchy of Cornwall, which now boasts assets of over $1 billion," he shared. "In divvying things up, the Queen Mother may have left Harry a skosh more. In the meantime, the value of the trust has simply increased, Harry's share along with it."The U.K.'s Mirror reported Harry will receive $8.5 million from his share, which is more than William received."Prince Harry is set to receive more money than Prince William because he is the spare," Kinsey Schofield, host of the "To Di For Daily" podcast, claimed to Fox News Digital. "The Queen Mother knew he would have fewer opportunities and responsibilities. It was a logical and thoughtful decision."There will be no tensions as [the family] knew about this arrangement for decades. Prince William likely quietly inherited his share two summers ago when he turned 40."Andersen said there's a good reason the trust doesn't kick in until the big 4-0. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER "Why 40? To a woman who nearly lived to be 102, one can only imagine that 40 seemed like the perfect age to come into some extra cash - when you're young enough to appreciate it but also old enough, and hopefully wise enough, not to blow it," said Andersen."Of course, the princes' great granny couldn't have anticipated all the trouble Harry caused the rest of the family. I think she would have cut him out of [the trust] entirely had she known."The U.K. Times reported in 2020 that Harry received a bequest from the Queen Mother, who put the bulk of her wealth into a trust fund for her grandchildren.The outlet reported in 2002 that Queen Elizabeth II had avoided paying an inheritance tax of almost £20 million (about $25 million) on her mother's legacy. This move enhanced the value of her grandchildren's fortune. It also revealed that both William and Harry paid £8.4 million (about $10 million) in inheritance taxes on the £21 million (about $27 million) estate of their late mother, Princess Diana.Harry, 39, is required to pay taxes on any of his future commercial earnings, the outlet added.While Harry will get a bigger payout than his brother on his birthday, William's pockets aren't empty.On Thursday, the Duchy of Cornwall published its Integrated Annual Report for the 2023-2024 financial year, which marks William's first full year as the Duke of Cornwall. The heir to the British throne inherited the estate and title from his father, King Charles III. The inheritance was passed on to William when Charles, 75, ascended to the throne. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS Queen Elizabeth, England's longest-reigning monarch, died in 2022. She was 96.William, 42, received just over $30 million from his first full year's income from the Duchy of Cornwall estate.As a working member of the royal family, William doesn't receive a traditional income, People magazine reported. According to the outlet, his annual expenses are largely covered by the Duchy of Cornwall, which was established by King Edward III in 1337 to provide funds for the heir.The outlet reported that the estate, worth over $1 billion, spans 130,000 acres across 23 counties in England and Wales. It includes land, farms, houses and other assets to support the heir and the heir's family . It is understood that William pays income tax on the entire income he receives after subtracting household expenses. Those have not been specified."It seems Prince Harry has drawn the lucky straw when it comes to the trust," British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital. "The difference in the allocation of monies is attributed to what is thought to be Prince William and Prince Harry's future financial prospects."Prince William has the Duchy of Cornwall, a private estate that he benefits from. Prince Harry will never privately benefit from this," Chard noted. "The late Queen Mother didn't want her great-grandchildren to access their inheritance whenever and spend it willy-nilly. She placed the money in a trust fund in 1994 and stipulated that the recipients should reach a certain age before inheriting the money."I'm pretty sure that the late Queen Mother never dreamed that Prince Harry would stand down from full-time royal duties," Chard continued. "She would have assumed that he would always have been Prince William's right-hand man. I imagine there are a lot of mixed feelings regarding the inheritance split. Ultimately, the royal family will be relieved that Prince Harry has sufficient money to keep him out of mischief."While William was destined from birth to be king, Harry, who is fifth in line to the throne behind his brother and William's three children, has often appeared to struggle with the more ambiguous role of "spare."He chose "Spare" as the title of his 2023 memoir, which recounted a lifetime of sibling grievances, from William getting the bigger bedroom at Balmoral Castle to a ferocious argument in which Harry claims William ripped his necklace and knocked him down onto a dog bowl."The Queen Mother always favored Prince William," said Schofield. "She spent a significant amount of time with him when he was a child. She would call William over to spend time with her and leave Prince Harry in a corner with the nanny. It was clear favoritism that drove Princess Diana crazy. WATCH: PRINCE HARRY, PRINCE WILLIAM NEED AN INTERVENTION TO END FEUD: EXPERT "The Queen Mother had an enormous influence on King Charles's life as a very young boy and helped mentor him in his role as a future sovereign," Schofield added. "After spending so much time shaping the former Prince Charles, the Queen Mother wanted to have a similar relationship with Prince William. She taught him about his elders and expectations."In "Spare," Harry alleged the British media treated him and his wife Meghan Markle as villains compared to virtuous William and his wife Kate Middleton. Harry also accused palace officials of lying to protect his older brother. PRINCE WILLIAM PUT 'ABSOLUTE BAN' ON PRINCE HARRY'S RETURN TO ROYAL FAMILY: EXPERT The Sussexes cited the media's racist treatment of Meghan, who is biracial, and a lack of support from the palace as reasons for their decision in 2020 to quit royal duties and move to the U.S.In an explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021 , the couple portrayed the royal family as indifferent to Meghan's mental health struggles and suggested an unnamed family member had made a racist comment to Harry before the birth of their son, Archie. Harry described his relationship with William as "space at the moment."Harry lives in California with his wife and their two young children.
