Prince Harry's disappointment was palpable when Meghan decided to embark on a £17,000 shopping spree during their visit to New York City. This spending spree followed the sale of a valuable ring, a decision that seemed to have taken Harry by surprise.
In the wake of these financial choices, Prince Harry found himself deeply disappointed and couldn't help but criticize his wife, Meghan Markle, for seemingly monopolizing their time in the city. According to the observations of body language expert Darren Stanton, Prince Harry displayed two contrasting sides of his public demeanor.
When he was alone, he appeared remarkably at ease, with a relaxed posture and frequent smiles during interactions with the press. He exuded enthusiasm and authenticity in response to warm applause from the public. However, the dynamic shifted noticeably when Meghan joined him.
In photos from their New York City conference, Meghan was seen beaming with a bright smile, while Prince Harry's demeanor appeared to have soured. His furrowed brows conveyed frustration and irritation, making it clear that something was amiss. It seemed that he was uncomfortable sharing the spotlight, even with his own wife. This frustration with Meghan extended beyond their time in New York.
Meghan's decision to sell her wedding ring, which held sentimental value due to the presence of Diana's stones, and using the proceeds along with Harry's inheritance to fund her extravagant wardrobe choices only added to the tension. During their New York City event, Meghan donned two distinct outfits, the combined cost of which exceeded £17,000.
For the start of the day, she wore a jacket paired with black skinny jeans, a 14-karat gold diamond necklace worth $3,850, and a Cartier Love bracelet valued at $7,350. Completing the ensemble were Jennifer Chamandi Lorenzo heels priced at $713. Later in the day, Meghan sported an elegant Ivory Ensemble comprising an Azur wedding off-the-shoulder wool blazer for $987 and Azur Bendix's loose wool pants costing $995. Her footwear of choice came from her favorite brand, Oza, specifically the Purist 105 pumps in nude leather, which came with an $825 price tag. However, the most extravagant element of her outfit was the jewelry, with a total value of approximately $6,000.
It now appears that the Sussex couple is relying on loans, which could potentially have been secured against Harry's inheritance, if there were any remaining funds from their engagement ring, which held significant sentimental value for Harry. Despite their initial lucrative deals with Spotify, Netflix, and Penguin Random House in Hollywood, the profitability seems to have waned.
The actual contract terms turned out to be shorter than anticipated, and Netflix still retained half of the contract amount. Moreover, the book deal encompassing four of Harry's books may not be sufficient to sustain their extravagant lifestyle, estimated to cost between £12 million and £15 million annually.
While Meghan generates some income from merchandise sales, Harry receives income from investments in companies like Travis and larger corporations. Nevertheless, these income sources appear insufficient to meet their financial requirements.
