Meanwhile, Meghan is reportedly trying to distance herself from the "Sussex" brand and has kept a low profile throughout 2023. It seems that the couple now realizes they may have gone too far with their royal family drama.
Tom Bauer suggests that Meghan's silence this year may be due to the realization that she has gained little more than baggage from the Oprah Winfrey interview, along with criticism of the royal family stemming from subsequent interviews.
The question now arises: how will it all unfold? A recent source claims that Megan has always been focused on community property, especially when it comes to the prospect of divorcing Harry.
In certain states in the United States, including California, community property laws dictate that assets and debts acquired during the marriage belong to both parties and are typically split equally. Megan and Harry have community property, such as the Montecito mansion, the Netflix contract, the memoir, and other assets. However, Harry possesses separate property in the form of his inheritance from Princess Diana.
Interestingly, a royal aide reveals that Harry made a midnight call to King Charles a month ago, seeking his assistance. It appears that Megan deceived Harry into using Diana's money to purchase the Montecito mansion and cover their daily expenses. The initial claim was that Harry's inheritance enabled them to finance their new life because Charles had cut them off financially. While this claim may still hold some truth, if they were indeed relying on the income from his inheritance, once Harry merged his finances with Megan's and depleted the principal amount, their financial situation changed drastically.
It seems that Megan has been actively working to convert the inheritance into community property from the beginning, with the Montecito mansion being the most prominent example. By taking out a large mortgage on a property they acquired at a low cost, they were able to allocate funds for various expenses, including security, maintenance, and other tangible goods that now legally belong to both of them.
If the house were to be sold at its current market value, there would be a substantial amount of equity, obtained through Megan's actions, despite her controversial behavior. Additionally, Megan has reportedly requested Diana's jewelry from Harry, claiming they were gifts rather than loans.
The significance of these gifts between spouses depends on their value in relation to the overall finances of the couple. Megan would likely seek to acquire as much as possible in any potential settlement. The date of their legal separation would also play a role in determining the division of assets.
It appears that Megan always prioritized financial gain and a luxurious lifestyle, with her husband merely serving as a means to an end. She has shown a willingness to live apart from Harry, even in another country, for many years.
If they were to separate, it is likely that her name would be linked to numerous wealthy and famous men, similar to her association with Dior. Remarrying may not be her priority, as she seems more inclined to pursue casual relationships and enjoy a life of freedom.
