Earlier this year, rumors began swirling that Harry and Meghan Markle were facing serious financial troubles in the United States.
According to sources, the former working royals are allegedly on their way to going broke as they establish their new life outside the United Kingdom.
Star magazine recently revealed that the couple’s extravagant spending habits have contributed to their financial woes.
Not only do they reportedly shoulder a roughly $3 million security detail, but they also spare no expense when it comes to travel, often opting for luxurious 5-star hotels.
Insiders claim that these lavish expenditures have led them to a financial hole.
Prince Harry, in particular, is said to be drowning in debt, with a credit card bill of $480,000.
Additionally, he has reportedly burned through a significant portion of his inheritance from Princess Diana.
Meghan Markle, on the other hand, is known for her expensive wardrobe and jewelry, which are estimated to cost over $10 million.
Speculation about the couple’s inability to pay their bills has been fueled by an anonymous Reddit user named SecondhandCoke.
According to this individual, Meghan has accumulated substantial debt, including unpaid attorney fees and massive credit card bills.
Allegedly, she even attempted to sell her funeral clothing, but the plan was thwarted by someone within the royal family’s staff.
It is believed that part of their agreement was to keep such matters out of the press, particularly details about Meghan’s attire and the designers involved.
However, it seems that most designers are now reluctant to work with her due to the controversies surrounding her.
Furthermore, there are rumors that Meghan has already made comments about the Queen’s will and whether or not they will receive their fair share.
Some speculate that she may be seeking alimony and child support from Harry, ultimately turning to his family for financial assistance.
There are even reports suggesting that Meghan is hesitant to bring their children to England out of fear that Harry will prevent them from returning to the US.
According to the anonymous source, written and notarized consent from both parents is required to cross children in and out of the US border.
Meghan is allegedly withholding her consent, concerned that Harry will refuse to allow them back into the country.
In recent weeks, the couple has faced criticism for their overly affectionate public displays.
While some admire their love for each other, others find their constant public displays of affection excessive.
Yana Hocking, a podcaster and columnist, expressed her skepticism about such behavior, questioning why they feel the need to prove their affection in public.
She contrasted their behavior with that of Prince William and Kate Middleton, who exude strength and independence while still showing adoration for one another.
Hocking sees this as a sign of a solid marriage, where two individuals can stand tall on their own but also share loving glances when needed.
She suggests that Harry and Meghan’s public displays of affection may stem from insecurity or even lust, which can make others uncomfortable.
As their financial struggles continue to make headlines, it remains to be seen how Harry and Meghan will navigate their new life outside the royal family.
Will they be able to overcome these challenges and regain financial stability?
Only time will tell.
