After facing a professional and economic setback with the news that Spotify will not be renewing their podcast contract worth €20 million, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, are now exploring alternative ways to maintain their high standard of living.
This comes after the couple officially moved out of their UK residence at Frogmore Cottage earlier this year, as confirmed by palace officials.
In a surprising turn of events, King Charles III requested Harry and Meghan to vacate the UK property, leaving the Archule co-founders taken aback.
Palace Weekly reported on this development in March, shedding light on the unexpected request made by the king.
Seeking a fresh start, the couple is now looking for new opportunities to sustain their lifestyle.
Recently, Earl Spencer made an announcement that Althorp House, which was also the childhood home of Lady Diana Spencer, is now open to the public for the summer season.
This grand stately home, listed as a Grade I building, showcases one of Europe’s most remarkable private collections of furniture, paintings, and ceramics.
Each room within this magnificent family home has its own intriguing story.
Earl Spencer took to his Instagram account, Charles Spencer Books, to share the news of the house opening to the public until August 31, 2023.
Alongside the announcement, he posted several images showcasing the interiors of Althorp House, including a dining room adorned with exquisite flower arrangements and brass candlesticks.
Other photos revealed a gallery filled with portraits and a sitting room featuring a gilt ceiling and portraits adorning the walls.
Upon learning about the news, Meghan Markle expressed her desire to attend a secret gathering at Althorp House to discuss the possibility of Charles gifting the Sussexes the property after their departure from Frogmore Cottage.
However, Charles turned down Meghan’s request, opting not to include the couple in the event.
This decision left Meghan feeling embarrassed and disappointed.
Speculation has arisen regarding the potential name change for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Royal writer Tom Bower suggests that they might consider adopting Princess Diana’s maiden name, Spencer, to further connect with Harry’s late mother’s legacy.
However, Charles Spencer himself revealed that Meghan Markle had expressed a desire to be adopted into the Spencer family, enabling her to bear the Spencer name.
Nonetheless, Charles reportedly rejected this request, as he believed Meghan intended to profit from the title.
According to Bower, this proposed name change appears to be a calculated strategy rather than a spontaneous decision.
He emphasized that the couple is actively attempting to rebrand themselves as Harry and Meghan Spencer.
This begs the question: why is Meghan still seeking validation and what is she hoping to achieve?
Many believe that Harry should be ashamed of attempting to capitalize on the Spencer name, simply because he is Diana’s son.
Furthermore, Meghan has faced criticism from the Spencer family due to her alleged habit of stealing.
There have been claims that she stole jewelry, including a Middleton family heirloom, from the Wales apartment at Kensington Palace.
The piece mysteriously disappeared and later reappeared when Meghan was spotted wearing it.
Additionally, she was caught on camera attempting to steal a Queen Victoria family heirloom from a display case at Windsor Castle.
After this incident, Meghan was closely monitored and never allowed to return unsupervised.
It is worth noting that Meghan has also faced issues with fashion designers.
She has allegedly failed to pay Stella McCartney for her funeral outfits and has been banned from wearing McCartney’s clothes again.
Similar decisions have been made by other designers, including Herrera and Givenchy, as trust in Meghan diminishes.
As Meghan Markle continues to navigate her public image, her actions and aspirations raise questions about her motives and integrity.
