Prince William turns 25, entitled to share of Diana's wealth
Afp, London
Britain's Prince William turned 25 yesterday and became entitled to part of the multi-million pound inheritance left to him by his late mother, princess Diana. The second in line to the throne is now allowed access to the income accrued on the 6.5 million pounds (9.67 million euros, 12.94 million dollars) he was left in his mother's will after she died 10 years ago in a Paris car crash. Royal officials said they do not discuss the young prince's financial arrangements, amid media speculation that he could now have access to between 250,000 pounds and 350,000 pounds per year. But unnamed sources quoted by Britain's Press Association (PA) news agency said the future king will not touch Diana's cash for now. "Nothing will change on his birthday," another source told the Daily Telegraph newspaper on Tuesday.
