Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have reportedly approached King Charles for a part-time return to the palace as they find themselves in a staggering £28 million debt.
The news comes from Omid Scobie, a renowned journalist from Yahoo News’ Life and Style section, who sheds light on the couple’s dire financial situation and their desire to seek refuge in the realm of taxpayer funding once again.
Speculation suggests that Meghan and Harry are longing to return to the UK, which could explain their feeble attempts at emulating royal life.
According to an exclusive source speaking to Life and Style, the Sussexes have been contemplating a move back to London after their departure from Britain and stepping down as senior working royals in 2020.
The insider reveals that the couple is currently going through one of the most challenging periods of their lives, with California failing to meet their expectations and their finances reaching a critical state.
In fact, their expenses have left them with a staggering £28 million debt, and they seem to have no new sources of income.
In an effort to alleviate their financial burdens, Harry has been secretly negotiating a deal to live and work with the royal family once again.
“Meghan and Harry obviously need to cut their expenses,” the insider explains, emphasizing the drastic measures the couple must take.
Despite the strained relationship and familial tensions exposed by Harry in his memoir earlier this year, the source claims that both Meghan and Harry are eager to return to Britain.
Their attempts to make it work in America have proven fruitless, and their monetary issues have directly impacted their marriage.
In an ideal scenario envisioned by Meghan, she would reunite with her in-laws, albeit on a part-time basis.
The source reveals that Meghan envisions spending eight months a year in Los Angeles and renting a spacious apartment in Kensington Palace for the remaining time.
She believes that this arrangement could help salvage their marriage and potentially repair their fractured relationship with Prince Charles.
However, this may be nothing more than an illusion for Meghan and Harry.
Royal insiders suggest that the couple risks facing complete exile from the royal family if they continue with their current behavior.
The royals have a history of distancing themselves from members who threaten the institution they represent.
A prime example is King Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne to be with his lover, Wallace Simpson.
The Duke and Duchess of Windsor were forced to leave the country and seek refuge in a rented villa near Paris.
The insider warns that Harry is not immune to such consequences, as Charles has no desire to welcome him back as a father or a king.
Even Prince William has severed ties with his brother, not only for his own peace of mind but also for the well-being of Catherine and their children.
The reality is that Meghan and Harry simply cannot afford a lavish flat in London while maintaining a home in Southern California.
The bank of Dad, referring to Prince Charles, is now closed to them permanently.
Furthermore, the extent of Omid Scobie’s exposé, which was clearly written with the cooperation of the Sussexes, is yet to be fully revealed.
Once it hits the bookstands, on the king’s birthday no less, the royal family, the people of the UK, and the Commonwealth may sever all ties with the couple for good.
Meghan and Harry will have to make the most of their life overseas, together or apart, as it seems that is all they have left.
