The Duchess also claimed during a speech at the University of the South Pacific in Fiji, that she had to pay for college herself through “scholarships, financial aid programs, and work-study.”

But a report from Newsweek said that Meghan’s parents helped her financially for her studies. This information came out during the trial of Meghan against UK tabloid newspapers.

A filing by Meghan’s lawyer revealed that her father and mother helped with her university costs. Her tuition fees were reduced further thanks to the scholarships she got for her academic achievements.

“[Meghan] also undertook a work-study programme whereby income she made from working on campus after class was applied directly to supplement and lower her tuition costs, thus personally contributing to her tuition as well,” the filing revealed.
