It’s been over five years since then, and the one thing the couple seem to have learned is that they’re going to burn out of cash quickly if they keep their staff as is.
This is coming just a few weeks after several members of their communication team – six to be exact – were let go.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Cycle Through Staff Quicker Than It Takes Milk To Spoil, Royal Source Blasts

2025 also marks the year their contract with Netflix rounds up, and with not much to show for it, Netflix insiders are convinced the streaming giant does not want to renew.
If it, in fact, does renew, it would be under a lesser ‘first look’ deal rather than an overall exclusive contract like before. This would also mean less cash, and since the Sussexes have a heap of expenses, things are not looking very good financial-wise.
Apart from their traveling and wardrobe expenses, their annual security bill is said to be around $2 million. There’s also the annual property tax of $288,000 that they have to see to as well.
In addition to this, they foot the bill for their staff in communications alongside their personal office, the Archewell Foundation, production, as well as employees at their estate in Montecito, CA.
It’s been reported that they join in contributing money to fund their so-called “faux foreign tours,” which last year saw them visit countries like Nigeria and Colombia.
