Buckingham Reveals Prince Harry’s Midnight Plea to Prince William for Funding the Sussexes from Cornwall
A recent report from a royal insider close to Buckingham Palace has shed light on an awkward situation facing Prince William.
Prince Harry allegedly made a midnight call to his brother, requesting financial support for himself and his children.
Speculation has been rife about the Sussexes' desire to rejoin the royal family, with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex currently residing in California with their two children.
However, financial pressures have reportedly mounted on Meghan and Harry as their lucrative deals, including one with Netflix, face uncertainty following their split with Spotify.
Prince Harry is said to have approached Prince William regarding the potential return of the Sussexes to the UK.
Prince William, who currently receives £24 million annually from the Duchy of Cornwall, is expected to face financial constraints as he continues to support his own children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
The possibility of funding the Sussexes' responsibilities, housing, and education for Archie and Lilibet could strain Prince William's finances.
In his autobiography, Prince Harry previously expressed concerns about burdening his father, King Charles, with financial demands.
Despite Harry's pleas, Prince William is not obligated to provide financial assistance to his brother and sister-in-law.
The notion of the Sussexes rejoining the royal family appears unlikely, as Prince William seems adamant about not reinstating Harry as a working royal.
The responsibility of funding royal family members falls primarily on the Prince of Wales, who supports his children and potentially siblings engaged in representing the monarchy.
The Harkles, as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are sometimes referred to, have faced criticism for expecting financial support upon distancing themselves from royal duties.
Unlike other royal relatives, such as Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Peter Phillips, and Zara Tindall, who do not receive financial aid, the Sussexes' decision to pursue financial independence has left them in a similar position.
The British public's disapproval of the couple's actions has led to reports of them being excluded from royal events, including the upcoming Balmoral Retreat this summer.
Amidst these developments, it is evident that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's hopes of a reconciliation with the royal family are fading.
The couple's refusal to participate in family gatherings, coupled with their pursuit of financial independence, has strained their relationship with the monarchy.
As they navigate the complexities of their post-royal life, the Sussexes may find themselves isolated from the royal circle, facing challenges in reestablishing their ties to the British monarchy.
