Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly at odds over money as they confront what insiders describe as a tougher financial reality at their Montecito home, with the Duchess of Sussex said to be driving a wide‑ranging cost‑cutting drive, according to a new report.
The couple left frontline royal duties in 2020, giving up taxpayer‑funded security and grace‑and‑favour homes for a self‑funded life in the US. They presented the move as a route to financial independence, signing headline‑grabbing deals with Netflix and Spotify and later launching Meghan's lifestyle venture, described in some reports as American Riviera Orchard and here as 'her lifestyle brand As Ever', built on the idea that a prince and a former actress could turn global fame into a viable business.
