Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: Struggling to Keep Up with Royal Expectations

In a surprising twist, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seem to be putting on a brave face after King Charles III decided to evict them from their last remaining UK residence.

However, insiders close to the couple suggest that they are far more distressed than they appear.

The pressures of financial strain and unfulfilled aspirations in the United States are reportedly weighing heavily on their marriage.

Since stepping back from royal duties and relocating to the U.S., Harry and Meghan have made significant moves in the entertainment industry.

They've inked lucrative multi-year contracts with Netflix and Spotify, which are rumored to be worth around $100 million and $25 million, respectively.

Yet, maintaining a lifestyle befitting their royal status is proving to be a costly endeavor, draining their finances faster than anticipated.

To add to their financial woes, the couple took out a hefty $10 million mortgage on their $14.6 million home, leaving them with substantial upkeep costs.

In addition, the expenses incurred from staffing and security are piling up, leaving them in a precarious situation.

Although Harry's memoir, “Spare,” became a bestseller, the income generated may not be enough to sustain the family for much longer, given their mounting bills.

Harry has also secured a four-book deal with Penguin Random House, valued at approximately $35 million.

However, there are doubts among insiders about whether he has enough material to fill three additional books, raising concerns about their financial future.

The transition from royal life, where financial support was abundant, to their current reality has been jarring for both Harry and Meghan.

Previously, Harry enjoyed a lavish lifestyle, characterized by extravagant shopping sprees and luxurious vacations, all funded by his father, King Charles.

However, the king's decision to cut off financial support—partly to streamline the royal family—has left Harry grappling with the harsh realities of budgeting.

Sources indicate that both Harry and Meghan had hoped for some form of financial assistance from Charles, which never materialized.

Meghan, in particular, was reportedly taken aback by how little money they had at their disposal after being cut off.

King Charles has allegedly refused to take Harry's calls regarding financial help, further complicating their situation.

As a result, the couple has been forced to think outside the box to generate income.

Recently, Meghan made headlines by appearing in an Instagram advertisement for Clever Blends, a coffee brand.

The founder of the brand revealed that Meghan had invested in it back in 2020, but critics were quick to label the promotion as blatant sponsored content.

An insider noted that while Meghan champions women entrepreneurs, her involvement isn't purely altruistic.

On the other hand, Harry has opted for a different approach by charging £39.95 for access to a live stream therapy session with a trauma expert.

While his intention is to promote mental health awareness, many view this tactic as somewhat distasteful.

Critics argue that monetizing such personal experiences feels inappropriate.

Adding fuel to the fire, commentator Meghan Kelly has publicly criticized the couple, suggesting they rely on their royal titles to stay financially afloat.

During a recent discussion, Kelly pointed out that granting titles to their children, Archie and Lilibet, appears to be a strategy to maintain relevance in the U.S. market.

She remarked that their titles seem to be their only currency, especially as their popularity continues to plummet in both America and the UK.

As the Sussexes navigate these tumultuous waters, their approval ratings have taken a significant hit, dropping even further in recent months.

The notion that calling their children Prince and Princess will somehow revitalize their public image seems increasingly far-fetched.
