Recent reports suggest Meghan Markle’s outrage over not receiving a share of the Duchy of Cornwall’s income has reignited an old rumor.

This speculation first surfaced following Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, when it was whispered that Meghan and Prince Harry had ambitions to divert a portion of the Duchy’s funds to themselves.

Now, Meghan is reportedly keen to meet with King Charles to discuss the distribution of the Duchy’s wealth. Commentator Neil Sha notes that Meghan is particularly concerned about the financial disparity between her husband, Prince Harry, and his brother, Prince William.

Sha, a well-known royal commentator, points out that despite the public perception of Prince Harry and Meghan as wealthy figures, their financial situation might be more complicated than it seems.

Prince Harry is set to receive a lump sum when he turns 40 next month, but this inheritance might be quickly spent on substantial mortgage payments, security costs, and other living expenses.

Sha also highlights that Prince Harry has never been directly responsible for managing finances, a task reportedly handled by Meghan.

The core issue revolves around the significant wealth recently inherited by Prince William from the Duchy of Cornwall, a substantial estate passed down from King Charles. This inheritance has allowed Prince William and his wife, Catherine, to live comfortably without relying on state funding.

Meghan, however, believes this wealth should be shared between the two brothers, despite the longstanding tradition that the Duchy of Cornwall is reserved exclusively for the Prince of Wales.

According to a well-placed source, Meghan is unhappy with the current arrangement and wishes to address the matter directly with King Charles. She reportedly feels that both sons should be treated equally in terms of financial inheritance.

While royal protocol dictates that the Duchy of Cornwall belongs solely to the Prince of Wales, Meghan’s dissatisfaction with this tradition has prompted her to seek a meeting with the King to advocate for a more equitable distribution of wealth.

This request comes at a time when Prince William is under scrutiny for his financial decisions, particularly regarding the taxes he’ll pay on his Duchy inheritance.

The substantial windfall has undeniably made Prince William and Catherine incredibly wealthy, highlighting the stark contrast between their financial situation and that of Prince Harry and Meghan. Meghan’s desire for a meeting with King Charles is reportedly driven by her belief that the brothers should support each other.

However, any changes to the Duchy of Cornwall’s wealth distribution would require King Charles’s involvement and approval. The King, who has his own investments and private income, may be reluctant to alter established traditions, given the complexities involved.

In the meantime, Meghan and Harry are expected to continue facing financial challenges, despite the occasional luxury, such as a new handbag for Harry’s upcoming birthday.
