Newly published accounts show Prince Harry and Meghan Markle received around £4.5million from Prince Charles’ personal fortune despite the Duke of Sussex claiming he was financially cut off during his Oprah Winfrey sit down. Royal expert Dickie Arbiter told Good Morning Britain he was astounded at the revelation and could not believe Prince Harry was so worried about money despite living in a multi-million-pound mansion in California. Representatives of Prince Charles say the money was given to his son to help him become financially dependent as the reports show Harry was given funds until the summer of 2020.
Prince Harry told Oprah Winfrey that his family “literally cut me off” in the first quarter of 2020.
But newly released accounts say Prince Charles provided for Harry and Meghan until summer that year.
The accounts also show the Sussexes paid for the taxpayer-funded Frogmore Cottage refurbishments which cost £2.4million.
A Clarence House spokesperson said: “As we’ll all remember in January 2020 when the duke and duchess announced that they were going to move away from the working Royal Family, the duke said that they would work towards becoming financially independent.
“The Prince of Wales allocated a substantial sum to support them with this transition.”
They added the funding ended in the summer.
A spokesperson for the Sussexes said: “You are conflating two different timelines and it’s inaccurate to suggest that there’s a contradiction.
“The duke’s comments during the Oprah interview were in reference to the first quarter of the fiscal reporting period in the UK, which starts annually in April.
“This is the same date that the ‘transitional year’ of the Sandringham agreement began and is aligned with the timeline that Clarence House referenced.”
