King Charles Draws the Line – Refuses to Bankroll Harry & Meghan’s Lavish Lifestyle

You know that saying, ‘you gotta fake it till you make it?’ Well, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have largely made it, and fans still believe they’re faking it.

In light of reports that Prince Harry and Meghan are facing a financial crisis due to poor money management, the couple has surprised the world by relocating to the UK and house-hunting for a plush mansion.

And yes, in case you’re wondering, they’re doing this while maintaining ownership of their Montecito mansion and their Portugal holiday home.

Key Takeaways

• Harry and Meghan are reportedly house-hunting in the UK.
• Maintaining multiple luxury properties could come with enormous costs.
• King Charles reportedly has no plans to bankroll their expensive lifestyle.

King Charles Doesn’t Want To Fund the Sussexes’ Extravagant Lifestyle

The Sussexes are back in the UK after six years of being away. Shortly after they landed, it was revealed that Harry would need to shell out millions to settle the damages he and his co-defendants accrued after losing their lawsuit against the publishers of the Daily Mail.

Whilst many believe that this development would undoubtedly faze the opulent Sussexes, it seems it hasn’t actually done much to negatively impact their rather expensive psyche.

In fact, as I write this, the Sussexes are reportedly considering purchasing a multi-million dollar mansion located in Cotswolds.

They’re doing this without waiting for a decision on their security request, which, if their appeal is rejected, will continue to put a heavy load on their budget.

On top of this, they will be retaining their £14m Montecito mansion, California, and another £3.6m property in Praia da Galé in Portugal.

The Daily Express estimated that the Sussexes would need to spend at least half-a-million pounds in maintaining the 9 bedroom mansion. In addition to this, the Sussexes are calculated to spend the whooping sum of £450,000 bill for mortgage and property tax in the US alone. In 2025, the New York Post revealed that they spent £110,476 in property taxes.

To meet up with these costs, Harry and Meghan would need to ramp up their Hollywood deals. Following their exit from the Royal Family, it seemed for sometime that the Sussexes would undoubtedly become Hollywood’s next power couple.

But with no eligible deals in their future, and Meghan’s lifestyle brand As Ever slowly fading into obscurity, experts are struggling to answer the question of where Harry and Meghan might land their next millions.

However, the Daily Express believes that this next avenue cannot come in the way of King Charles, as many might suspect, since the King does not want to be weighed down by a financially troubled son.

To further strengthen the notion in Harry and Meghan that no monetary aid will be coming from the royal quarters, Charles and Prince William have reportedly maintained their distance.

Harry inherited millions from the trust fund set up by his late mother, Princess Diana. When he turned 40, he inherited another set of millions from his great-grandmother.

He also made over $20 million from his book deal, and another reported $100 million from his and Meghan’s combined deals with Netflix and Spotify.
