Meghan Markle was reportedly taken aback when Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, disclosed that Prince Harry had allegedly initiated divorce proceedings that would exclude her from a $10 million inheritance.
According to Ferguson, there is still lingering goodwill towards the old Harry among the royals, and they hold hope that he could eventually mend bridges and be welcomed back into the fold. However, she doesn't believe this reconciliation is on the horizon.
Ferguson also revealed that Prince William and Catherine had initial reservations about Harry's marriage to Meghan, fearing that she might not be the right fit for him. Nevertheless, Harry seemed emotionally attached to Meghan, perhaps due to her initial indulgence of his complex personality.
However, recent reports suggest that Prince Harry consulted divorce lawyers months ago and is actively pursuing a divorce. If this divorce proceeds, Meghan might try to make claims on the family's funds and assets, potentially involving the Crown in the process.
Regarding the inheritance, Harry and William have been receiving a yearly investment profit of $450,000 from Princess Diana's estate since they turned 21. They both gained access to their sizable inheritances, estimated at around $10 million each, on their 30th birthdays. Meghan cannot access Harry's inheritance unless he breaks the trust and mixes the funds.
During an interview on the "Seven Breakfast" program, Ferguson shared her final conversation with the late Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen advised her to always be herself and encouraged her to continue with kindness, emphasizing that judgment based on race, creed, or color is not cool. Ferguson stressed the importance of love and kindness, urging people to make others smile.
Despite these revelations and rumors surrounding their marriage, public and media scrutiny is higher than ever for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as they navigate the Invictus Games. Observers have noted Meghan's missing engagement ring but her continued wearing of a wedding ring made from Welsh gold. These observations have intensified speculation about the state of their relationship.
The couple faces substantial scrutiny and media attention, with even minor moments or gestures being dissected and interpreted, often fueling divorce rumors in the press.
