Tensions between the Sussexes and the Royal Family have been reignited with an explosive new report alleging that Meghan Markle was furious after Royal Courtiers announced King Charles’ intentions to withdraw £10 million from Prince Harry’s Children’s Trust Fund.
The rift between the two parties escalated when Harry and Meghan stepped back from their senior royal roles in 2020, relocated to California, and openly criticized the royals in various interviews.
According to a news story in the UK tabloid The Sun, King Charles is reportedly exasperated by Harry’s continuous attacks on the monarchy in American media.
In response, the King has instructed royal financial experts to scrutinize the multi-million pound trust funds set up for his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, by Prince William and the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The trust funds, each amounting to around £2-3 million, were established for Archie and Lilibet to manage independently once they turned 18.
However, King Charles now seems to have different plans.
Sources reveal that the King deems it inappropriate for Harry’s children to receive substantial cash gifts given their altered status within the royal family.
Royal aides claim that King Charles is disheartened by Harry’s exploitation of his royal connections to criticize the monarchy while securing lucrative deals with major platforms like Netflix and Spotify.
Consequently, there is a proposal to redirect £10 million from the children’s trust funds to royal charities or other family members, a decision that has reportedly enraged Meghan.
Sources close to Meghan express her outrage at the potential deprivation of Archie and Lilibet’s inheritance.
She perceives the funds as a means of financial support for Harry’s children, irrespective of their titles or status.
Meghan’s friends suggest that the royals’ actions reflect a cold and callous attitude towards her family, with Meghan feeling that the children are being unfairly punished for their parents’ choices.
In a surprising twist, a confidant of Meghan hinted to The Sun that Meghan believes the royals discriminate against Archie and Lilibet due to their mixed-race heritage, as Meghan is biracial American.
She allegedly desires that the children be excluded from any future deliberations within the royal family.
Conversely, royal insiders argue that King Charles holds the prerogative to determine the appropriate allocation of royal funds, especially considering Harry and Meghan’s diminished roles within the monarchy.
They stress the need for reevaluation of the children’s inheritance since they are no longer senior working royals.
Moreover, there are indications that King Charles and royal officials are contemplating a comprehensive review of funds for all minor royals to ensure equitable distribution and minimize dependency on financial assistance.
However, the selective focus on Harry in this review raises questions about the underlying motives behind the reassessment of the children’s trust funds.
As the saga unfolds, the clash between the Sussexes and the royal establishment underscores the complexities of balancing personal autonomy with traditional expectations within the monarchy.
The future of Archie and Lilibet’s inheritance remains uncertain, caught in the crossfire of familial discord and institutional protocols.
