When it comes to financial struggles, it goes without saying Prince Harry is an unlikely contender for suffering from hardship.

The King’s second son and wife Meghan Markle may have counted themselves out of royal life and not be on speaking terms with the family, but the two are unlikely to face hardship. Charles is well-known for ensuring neither of his children are cut off and reportedly gave Harry a “substantial sum” following the resulting drama following their controversial Netflix series.

In his latest biography on Princess of Wales Kate, Royal author Robert Jobson writes Harry and Meghan’s biggest earnings “seem to be behind them” following the bombshell docuseries and Harry’s 2023 memoir Spare. The author says the two are now looking for ways to pay the bills which “doesn’t involve dishing dirt on the Royal family”.

While there currently seems to be dwindling opportunities for reconciliation, the “Harry problem”, as it’s reportedly known amongst Palace staff, “continues to plague the King”, the expert writes for the Daily Mail. Officials have claimed the King remains “worried” about “what is going to happen when all the money runs out”.

Mr Jobson added: “Harry, however, later claimed that his father told him there was ‘not enough money to go around’ for Meghan, because he was already having to pay for William and Catherine. Harry was furious – feeling that he and Meghan were entitled to lavish handouts from ‘Pa’ in return for agreeing to serve the crown.

“In fact, according to close sources, Charles ended up giving Harry a ‘substantial sum’ and did not cut him off financially.” The revelation comes as the lid was also lifted on the King’s true feelings about a spontaneous visit from Harry shortly after news of his cancer diagnosis.

After the 75-year-old’s health scare emerged, Harry flew straight to the UK, having a whistle-stop meeting with his father at Clarence House. The monarch was said to have been “unhappy” about Harry dropping in without more warning, particularly at being kept waiting while he and the Queen were supposed to head to Sandringham for his recuperation.

A source told MailOnline the King was “unhappy” as the visit disrupted his plans to begin his recuperation at Sandringham. Instead of rushing off, the king was kept waiting at Clarence House for his arrival for their short visit which did nothing to repair their relationship.
