Prince Harry is stepping up efforts to patch things up with King Charles during his latest UK visit because he 'knows he'll get nothing' once Prince William becomes king, a royal expert has claimed. The suggestion raises fresh questions over whether the Duke of Sussex's reported push for reconciliation is being driven as much by money as by any wish to heal deep family rifts.
Harry and Meghan Markle walked away from royal life in 2020 and have since lived in California, styling themselves as financially independent. The couple bought a sprawling Montecito mansion for a reported $14.65 million in June 2020 and signed several big-ticket media deals in the US. Meghan has also launched her own lifestyle brand, As Ever, in a bid to open up another stream of income. Yet speculation has been bubbling for months that some of those lucrative arrangements are either shrinking or quietly stalling, putting pressure on the Sussexes' finances and public profile.
