Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly at odds over how to rein in spending at their Montecito home, with unnamed sources claiming the couple is under mounting financial strain and that the tension has sharpened over staff, travel and their wider lifestyle in California. The claims were published on 17 June 2026 and centre on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, whose public image has long been tied to a carefully packaged idea of simplicity.
The latest reports arrive after Meghan, 44, drew fresh criticism earlier this month for posting an image of her daughter Lilibet on social media to mark her fifth birthday, reigniting complaints about the commercial use of her royal title and family life.
