Quite shocking, isn't it? Bower argues that Meghan may not have fully grasped the financial constraints and pressures associated with royal life in the UK. He even goes as far as saying, "For her, Frogmore was like a jail sentence," implying that Meghan had grander expectations. Despite claims that Harry wasn't particularly wealthy, Celebrity Net Worth estimates his fortune to be between £19 million to £30 million before leaving London. Meghan, with her own net worth of approximately £5 million from her acting career, may have had financial independence, but Bower suggests that the allure of royal luxury may have clouded her judgment regarding Harry's financial situation.
Fast forward to 2020, the couple now resides in a lavish £12 million mansion in the upscale Montecito neighborhood of California. This sprawling estate boasts nine bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, and an array of luxurious amenities, a far cry from the "jail sentence" Frogmore appeared to be.
When Harry and Meghan stepped back from their royal duties, they pledged to become "financially independent." They have indeed made significant strides in that direction, securing multimillion-dollar deals with Spotify and Netflix, reportedly accumulating around £118 million. The glitz and glamour of Hollywood have clearly bolstered their bank account.
In stark contrast, Prince William and Kate Middleton, accustomed to the opulent Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace, opted for a simpler life. They relocated to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, a more rustic setting that aligns with their idyllic lifestyle. With just four bedrooms and no major renovations needed, the royal couple embraced a more straightforward way of life.
Tom Bower's revelations paint a picture of Meghan Markle driven by luxury and wealth, potentially more than her love for Prince Harry. The stark differences in their post-royal living choices raise questions about the authenticity of Meghan's intentions. This truth bomb may only scratch the surface of unraveling the mysteries behind the glamorous facade of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
