Prince Harry is said to be facing a growing cash crisis in California, with insiders claiming in late May that he has quietly turned to King Charles for help while Prince William allegedly dismisses his younger brother as 'self-serving.' The claims, reported by Closer, say the Duke of Sussex has been speaking to his father from the United States as he tries to plug funding gaps.
Harry and Meghan Markle have spent the past four years building a new life in Montecito after stepping down as senior royals in 2020. The move was pitched as a fresh start and a route to financial independence, bringing with it lucrative media deals, including the couple's 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey and the 2022 Netflix series Harry & Meghan. Recent coverage, however, has suggested that some of those commercial arrangements have cooled or run their course just as the royal family at home has been hit by serious health concerns.
