During their trip, Meghan and Harry spared no expense. They chartered a top-of-the-line Gulf Stream private jet, which costs over $220,000 per hour to hire. The jet was on standby for approximately 24 hours to accommodate the couple and their select guests, including A-listers such as Cameron Diaz, Benji Madden, and Zoe Zelda. The total cost of the trip, including the private jet, added up to approximately $500,000, with the jet rental constituting the majority of this extravagant bill.
Other notable figures who joined them on this private jet included oil heir Michael Herb, dating app founder Wiley Walle, and Hollywood producer David Kingberg. The primary reason for this trip was to attend the final show of Katy Perry's residency at the Resort World Theater, where they occupied VIP seats priced at $1,000 each.
Despite these lavish expenditures, Meghan seemed oblivious to the mounting costs, while Harry's tense demeanor during the show hinted at his awareness of their excessive spending. Their financial situation appears to be less than robust, given recent challenges with their Spotify deal and no forthcoming payday from Netflix. Some speculate that Harry may have tapped into his $19 million inheritance from his late mother, Princess Diana, to sustain their extravagant lifestyle. In contrast, Meghan remains confident that their networking efforts will eventually secure their financial future. However, her extravagant spending habits and attempts to outshine the late Princess of Wales have left many perplexed.
In other news, Meghan and Harry faced criticism for their actions on Remembrance Day when they tried to observe it as if they were British Royals in the UK. Their attempts to represent themselves and use these events as photo opportunities failed to improve their public image, leading to them being labeled as "grifters." Their decision not to bring their children to these events, despite previously seeking titles for them, has raised questions about their commitment to their heritage and seemingly contradictory actions.
Notably, Angela Levin, a prominent critic of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, remarked on Twitter that Meghan seeks publicity, which she adores because of her marriage to Prince Harry. Despite the controversies, Meghan spoke about her future plans during a surprise appearance at a Variety "Power of Women" event in Los Angeles, expressing excitement about upcoming announcements and her pride in what they are creating. Additionally, Meghan and Harry made a surprise appearance at a Vancouver Canucks hockey game in Canada on Monday night, continuing to be in the public eye.
