In 2021, Schultz took to Instagram to deliver a scathing commentary on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, suggesting that their time in the limelight had come to a screeching halt in Montecito, California, their upscale neighborhood. According to him, having two power couples living off the largesse of their in-laws was simply too much for the posh locale to handle. Cheeky, isn't it? But the drama doesn't end there. In January 2023, Schultz threw down the gauntlet with a tell-all book that had everyone talking. He boldly proclaimed that America couldn't care less about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The audacity of it all! And did he stop there? Not a chance.
Fast forward to the 2024 Globes, where comedian Joe Koy decided to join the roast fest by poking fun at Harry's alleged money troubles during his opening monologue. Hosting the 81st annual ceremony, Joe even joked about Harry calling a fictional character for a financial bailout—brutal, to say the least. But don't fret, folks. Despite becoming the town's laughing stock, Harry and Meghan are still raking in obscene amounts of cash from their Netflix deal, an £82 million agreement inked in 2020 for various content, including documentaries, scripted shows, and children's programs.
Addressing the elephant in the room, rumors swirled that Netflix might kick the duo to the curb, just like Spotify did. However, the streaming giant seems to have a bottomless pit of money, happily cutting those fat checks. Harry and Meghan might be down, but they're certainly not out of the money game.
It appears that Andrew Schultz couldn't resist taking a swipe at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and he's not alone. Even Hollywood's finest are lining up to poke fun at the Sussexes' insatiable appetite for cash.
