Prince Harry is reportedly preparing to ask King Charles for a Cash Bailout when he returns to the UK, with sources claiming the Duke of Sussex needs help to sustain the California lifestyle he and Meghan Markle have built and ease mounting financial pressure. The allegation comes from OK!, which says the couple's annual running costs are around $6 million.
Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and settled in Montecito, where they bought a reported $29 million home and built a new life around media, business and charity work. Their early post-royal years were driven by global attention, boosted by the Oprah Winfrey interview and the Netflix series Harry & Meghan, but that commercial momentum has since cooled and left new questions over the Sussexes' finances.
