In a new interview, ‘Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors’ author Tom Bower describes the Duchess of Sussex as someone who is ‘money-obsessed.’
AceShowbiz –Meghan Markle seemed to have high expectations of Prince Harry when they first met. If a new report is to be believed, the former “Suits” actress was “disappointed” that the British royal had “very little money” when they met.
Author Tom Bower dubbed the Duchess of Sussex “money-obsessed” in an interview with the Daily Mail that was published on Monday, February 27. “Her great surprise and disappointment was that Prince Harry had very little money,” the “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors” writer said. “She had imagined he would be worth hundreds of millions, if not billions, and she is having to make up for it now.”
Tom went on to say that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could not afford their current lifestyle as working members of the royal family. “[Meghan] wants to ride in the big Cadillacs, the private jets on command,” he told the outlet. “At the moment she needs to scrounge for those sorts of things.”
In 2021, Forbes estimated the couple’s net worth at $10 million, including the remains of Harry’s inheritance from his late mother Princess Diana and the equity they have in their Montecito, California, mansion. After stepping down as senior working royal members in 2020 and relocating to the U.S., Harry and Meghan were financially cut off from the British Crown’s estimated $34 billion estate.
They later founded Archewell Productions to produce “programming that informs, elevates and inspires.” The company signed a multiyear production deal with Netflix estimated to be worth between $100 million and $150 million. It was also reported in July 2021 that Harry received an advance of $20 million when he sold his bombshell book “Spare”.
In the new interview, Tom also weighed in on King Charles III’s upcoming coronation. The royal expert claimed that the Sussexes could “ruin” the event if they attend as they could “overshadow” the celebration, which is set to take place on May 6.
