Unfortunately, one of their significant contracts with Spotify, valued at millions, was recently canceled due to the underwhelming response to Meghan's Archetypes podcast. As a result, the couple is now feeling the pressure to sustain their extravagant lifestyle.
The source revealed to PageSix that the Sussexes are struggling with tremendous financial strain, particularly concerning their opulent California mansion, which costs around $14 million (£10.7 million), and their substantial security expenses. The burden of financial troubles, combined with their emotional challenges, has made life incredibly difficult for them.
In an effort to find solace and clarity, the couple has decided to spend time apart on different continents. This separation, they hope, will assist them in discovering the support and strength they need to move forward.
In a notable development, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently severed ties with the UK by clearing out Frogmore Cottage and returning the keys. The cottage, which was bestowed upon them by the Queen as a wedding gift in 2018, used to be their base in England. King Charles requested that they vacate the property promptly, leading to the relocation of their remaining possessions to their California residence just before the deadline.
This move carries significant emotional weight, as it means the Sussexes will no longer have a home base in the UK. Despite the cottage being at their disposal for three years, they had spent very little time residing there. Initially, they were given only a few weeks to pack up and leave, but negotiations extended the timeline until after the Coronation.
It's worth noting that the news of their departure came just one day after Prince Harry's autobiography was published. As the couple navigates this challenging phase in their lives, they seek to find their footing and embark on a new chapter away from the confines of the UK.
