Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, have gone to great lengths to reestablish contact with King Charles III.
Sources close to the couple have confirmed to the Daily Mail and PEOPLE that they have been unable to convince His Majesty to respond to their texts or phone calls.
King Charles severed all communication with the Sussex couple after Prince Harry made a shocking disclosure about a private meeting he had with his father on the day of his cancer announcement.
In a desperate attempt to get even a slight response from His Majesty, Prince Harry broke his long-standing pledge not to share images of his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, on social media.
Sources told the Mail that their unexpected act was to show King Charles the excellent relationships and memory-building moments he was missing out on with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
A recent revelation via Page Six may shed light on King Charles’s decision to sever ties permanently: the couple is reportedly grappling with significant financial difficulties.
They are apparently confronting financial issues. After exiting their royal duties, the pair was committed to being financially independent and never needing a royal handout.
If they ever reach King Charles, he will surely hang up the phone if they mention any of their crises, financial or otherwise.
According to sources who spoke to Page Six, Prince Harry and his wife have been making tough decisions to manage their financial situation, such as axing staff and downsizing their team.
The media outlet reported: “Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have cut ties with their comms team as they focus on saving cash. Just last month, it was revealed the renegade royals had parted ways with six more employees, including their two in-house reps. Now, we’re told the tally of staff the couple has lost or let go since they quit as working royals back in 2020 is up to 25, with some departures not yet publicized.”
A royal insider told Page Six: “It’s the same old story – they cycle through staff as quickly as normal people cycle through toilet paper. Milk lasts longer than their employees.”
Along with the massive expense for their security, which is believed to be around $2 million annually, the pair has a heavy financial burden in the form of their mortgage.
Page Six revealed that Markle and Prince Harry “splashed out $14.65 million on their home. Deeds showed they took out a $9.5m mortgage to be paid back, plus interest, by the year 2050.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s financial stability reportedly hinges on the decisions of Netflix executives. As their multi-million-dollar contract approaches its end, Netflix executives will decide their fate later this year.
Page Six explained why they will likely receive a less favorable deal this time around: “[Netflix] is now prioritizing ‘first look’ deals rather than overall exclusive contracts, which means they could re-sign for significantly less money than their current deal, we’re told. This could prove a headache for the couple, who have a heap of expenses – from traveling to an annual security bill believed to be around $2 million.”
King Charles has no patience for all of this drama.
