Take a look at this. I copied the paragraph in italics from that support article.

Share an iCloud storage plan with your family - Apple Support


When you share your iCloud storage, any family members using the free 5GB plan are added to your family plan automatically.

If a family member is already paying for their own iCloud storage plan, they can choose to switch to your plan or keep their own and still remain part of the family. When they switch to the shared family plan, they get a refund for the remainder of their personal plan. They can't keep their current plan and use the shared family plan at the same time.


If I read the article correctly, you will have to invite them to share the space.
