King Charles Is Reportedly ‘Concerned’ That Prince Harry’s Income Is ‘Drying Up’

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the royal family, they also left their royal income. Now, King Charles is reportedly worried about the couple’s financial future.

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped away from their royal duties back in 2020. The two were tired of their treatment in the United Kingdom and wanted a more private life on their own terms in the United States. But with their departure also came the departure of their royal income. Since then, the two have been making money on their own.

However, rumor has it that King Charles is concerned Harry and Meghan’s income might not last forever.

King Charles is reportedly concerned about Prince Harry’s money situation

If Harry and Meghan had stayed in the royal family, they would never have to worry about making their own money. But the couple knew they ran this risk upon leaving and felt the outcome was better if they continued forward with distancing themselves from the royal family. Harry and Meghan made plenty of money during their first few years in the US because they held interviews, filmed a Netflix documentary, and Harry even wrote a memoir all about life in the royal family.

But now that those paychecks are past them and the two haven’t launched much in the way of new business ventures, royal author Robert Jobson tells Express that the king is reportedly concerned about Harry’s income “drying up.”

“The ‘Harry problem’, as it’s known among Palace staff, continues to plague the king,” Jobson said. “’What worries His Majesty and his top team is what is going to happen when all the money runs out.” Jobson reportedly heard the latter part right from a palace official.

Of course, Harry and Charles don’t have a great relationship, but Charles does still love his son and likely doesn’t want to see him potentially struggle financially.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are taking on new business ventures

Right now, it’s a little unclear how Harry and Meghan are making money. Meghan’s lifestyle brand is on hold, and the two don’t seem to be getting paid for appearances and speaking engagements like they were at one point. However, it’s also possible the two have invested in different things behind the scenes that could be bringing in far more money than anyone realizes.

Ultimately, Harry and Meghan continue to afford their lifestyle somehow, and it isn’t any of the public’s business. Charles might still be concerned, but it’s also possible that Harry isn’t letting his dad in on all the ways he and Meghan are making money. If the well does dry up, it’s hard to say whether Charles would be willing to help financially support the Sussexes, but everyone is hoping it doesn’t come to that.
