Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's finances 'don't add up', with an insider claiming a 'sponsor' is funding their UK move. The couple have reportedly already spent a significant amount on their return to the UK, despite speculation about their bank balances.
Insider claims financial backing
The insider told Woman's Day that there is 'no doubt' someone is financially backing the Sussexes. The source said the pair have already incurred major expenses as part of the relocation.
"Meghan, 45, and Harry, 41, are running on a very limited budget so it's a shock to see them blowing $120k on a private jet using the dogs as an excuse," the insider told the publication. "The kids' schooling alone is over $60k a year and the house they're renting is around $75k a month and that's without the renovations Meghan's planning."
Legal fees and other costs
The costly decisions come alongside the expenses Harry will have to pay, reportedly millions, in legal fees after losing his case against Associated Newspapers Limited. Many fans have been left puzzled by how the couple are managing to cope financially with all of this spending.
The insider added that there is 'no doubt' they are receiving financial assistance, but it is not publicly known from whom. "Harry and Meghan are paranoid about anyone trying to claim they're bagging freebies but there's no doubt someone's helping them out. Whether it's the King or Harry's Uncle Charlie, the math doesn't add up unless they have some kind of sponsor," they explained.
Income sources and arrival in UK
The source added that if they are 'somehow' not receiving any assistance then it demonstrates they are 'going all in' on the relocation to the UK. Another source told RadarOnline that the Duke and Duchess "aren't broke", but do have enormous bills to settle and restricted sources of income.
"Their lifestyle costs an extraordinary amount to maintain, and adding another substantial home in Britain creates another layer of expense at a time when some of the enormous deals they signed after leaving royal life are no longer producing the same income," they said.
The Sussexes' US$100 million Netflix deal concluded in 2025, of which Harry and Meghan "may ultimately have retained roughly US$10 million to US$15 million", RadarOnline reports. The pair arrived in the UK with their children Archie and Lilibet last week, landing via private jet at Birmingham Airport before heading to the Cotswolds.
