Meghan Markle is reportedly pushing major cuts to the Sussex household's staff and spending in Montecito, California, with insiders claiming the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry are being forced to 'pick up the slack' themselves as money pressures bite and more firings loom.
For context, the couple's financial reality has been under quiet scrutiny ever since they stepped back as senior working royals and moved to the US in 2020, vowing to become financially independent. Their Archewell organisation has gone through several iterations in that time, and, in December, Page Six reported that around 60 per cent of the charity's workers had already been let go as the Archewell Foundation rebranded to Archewell Philanthropies.
