Prince Harry and Meghan are supposedly accused of stealing money intended for humanitarian purposes, according to Luca, who said that an informant from Kensington Palace had informed them of the allegation. They were supposedly expelled from the UK as a result of this alleged breach.
The Royal Foundation, initially established in 2009 by Prince William and Prince Harry, welcomed Kate when she became the Duchess of Cambridge in 2011 and Meghan upon her elevation to the Duchess of Sussex in May 2018.
Together, these two couples, often dubbed the "Fab Four," jointly oversaw this fund. However, their decision to step back from royal duties, coupled with murky documentation of donations managed in the shared fund, has raised questions. Notably, a considerable sum of $35 million appears to be unaccounted for within the finances of the British Royal Family.
The notion that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be connected to this financial gap raises significant concerns. Earlier this year, Women's Day made claims that the Royal Family's coffers took a hit due to actions by the Sussexes. The King's treasurer issued a statement forecasting a staggering $35 million loss for the bank by March 2021, and the tabloids ventured to suggest where this sum might have vanished.
Prince Harry has reportedly faced scrutiny regarding the financial management of his charities. Additionally, In Touch magazine's reports on King Charles's reaction to the rumors surrounding the pair siphoning off $35 million from the Royal Family's coffers added another layer of intrigue. The tabloid insinuated that the King, far from pleased with Prince Harry and his upcoming memoir, might resort to legal action, suing for $35 million in damages if the couple doesn't relent.
In a separate scandal, Meghan was implicated in an allegation brought forward by the National Enquirer. The publication suggested that she had absconded from Britain alongside Harry, taking with her jewelry that once belonged to the late Princess Diana. The estimated worth of this jewelry amounted to around $10 million. The legality of her possession of these items remained a subject of debate, and following their departure from the Royal family, returning all gifts appeared to be a logical expectation. However, as far as the information available suggests, this has not occurred.
Despite their official departure from the Royal Family's working fold for three years now, Meghan and Harry continue to retain their royal titles. Some speculate that it's their way of maintaining a sense of royalty even in the United States. However, Prince Harry himself has indicated that the titles hold little significance for him. Yet, Meghan still identifies herself as Duchess Meghan, despite her refusal to set foot in the UK.
Nevertheless, it appears that Meghan might be reevaluating the value of clinging to her royal title, especially in this new phase of her life. Additionally, there are critics who argue that she and Harry should formally renounce their titles, especially given their firm intent never to return to the Royal sphere. They argue that shedding the royal image entirely might serve their interests better, particularly as the royal titles seem to bear little significance, particularly in the United States.
