This month marks six years since the Sussexes sensationally quite royal life, leaving the monarchy ‘blindsided’ when they laid their grievances bare in the most public of ways; lambasting their loved-ones through interviews, TV shows and Harry’s 2023 memoir, Spare.
The drama, naturally, saw Prince Harry and Meghan Markle rake in over $100 million in deals with Hollywood’s biggest power players including Netflix, Apple and Spotify, who were all lining up for a slice of the Sussex story.
But the past few years have seen the Royal Family face their darkest times to date and the tide has turned in favour of the monarchy; even Stateside, where Harry and Meghan had once been hailed as Montecito’s shiniest new golden couple.
Now, as their popularity continues to decline, the Sussexes are also said to be floundering when it comes to keeping their finances afloat. Meanwhile, a 2024/2025 report published by William’s estate, the Duchy of Cornwall, hit headlines last week and laid bare the Heir Apparent’s staggering annual salary, which stands at a cool $30 million.
And as their own woes mount, a source tells us how Meghan, 44, and Harry, 41, have been left ‘shocked’ by William’s income and what they believe to be a ‘massive double standard’ within the Royal Family.
An insider says, ‘From Harry and Meghan’s point of view it feels incredibly unfair and hypocritical. Anytime she and Harry get a big payday they get absolutely hammered from every direction and branded greedy.
‘Yet William can pull in $30 million and no one bats an eye or questions why he’s getting paid so much money. And he’s raking in more from other ventures alongside the Duchy of Cornwall; yet you never hear anyone complaining about him being money hungry the way they do about Meghan and Harry. The rules are completely different depending on which side of the family you’re on. It’s a massive double standard.’
