Meg’s Fury Unleashed: King Withdraws £10 Million from Harry’s Children’s Trust
Meghan Markle erupted in anger as royal courtiers revealed that the King had decided to withdraw a substantial amount of money, £10 million, from the trust fund designated for Harry's children.
The couple, Prince Harry and Meghan, had embarked on a journey to step back as senior members of the royal family, seeking a fresh start in North America.
Their departure seemed to promise a world of opportunities, with the late Queen envisioning them leveraging their global appeal.
Bestowing upon them significant roles as President and Vice President at the Queen's Commonwealth Trust, she encouraged them to champion charitable causes spanning military support, the Invictus Games, mental health advocacy, and marginalized communities.
The potential was immense.
However, the Queen was left heartbroken when Harry and Meghan opted for the contentious “Megxit” agreement, retaining their Sussex titles while relinquishing their royal HRH designations to pursue financial independence.
Despite the disappointment, the Queen extended a 12-month grace period, holding out hope for their potential return.
Yet, events took a different turn.
Amidst Prince Philip's hospitalization and subsequent heart surgery, Harry and Meghan chose to share their side of the story with Oprah Winfrey, triggering significant repercussions within the royal institution.
The Queen's passing further exacerbated tensions, compounded by the couple's lucrative Netflix deal and Harry's contentious autobiography.
The aftermath of these developments has strained relations within the royal family, particularly between Harry and his brother and father, leading to a near-total breakdown in communication.
Harry and Meghan's financial stability, once bolstered by their royal connections, now faces mounting challenges as their popularity dwindles both in the UK and the USA.
In a retaliatory move, senior royal advisors confirmed that Harry would not inherit directly from Charles, save for a few personal items.
The bulk of the estate, encompassing properties like Balmoral and Sandringham, along with valuable assets, is slated to pass on to the succeeding monarch, bypassing equal distribution among the children.
The revised inheritance structure signifies a departure from prior arrangements, highlighting the estrangement between Harry and the royal establishment.
Previously, King Charles had earmarked a trust fund, ranging from five to ten million pounds, intended for Harry or his offspring, offering a source of income at a future date without incurring inheritance taxes if established seven years before his demise.
However, the dynamics shifted following Harry's marriage to Meghan, prompting the King to exclude Harry from his foundation plans and revoke access to an existing trust set up by Queen Elizabeth upon his birth.
The implications of these decisions are profound, especially for Meghan, whose financial security may be jeopardized in the event of a divorce, given the absence of safety nets.
The narrative hints at potential challenges ahead, with Meghan facing the prospect of navigating public scrutiny and distancing from her social circle.
Harry, on the other hand, may find himself seeking reconciliation with the royal family to secure a tranquil existence until the dust settles, paving the way for a potential reemergence in the future.
