King Charles seemingly still loves his younger son, Prince Harry, despite their rift, as reports suggest the monarch stepped in to rescue the Duke amid a financial crisis.
This claim comes from royal expert Robert Jobson in his upcoming biography on Kate, the Princess of Wales. Jobson asserts that King Charles provided Prince Harry with a “substantial sum” following the fallout from Harry and Meghan’s bombshell Netflix documentary. According to Jobson, the couple’s income from their lucrative deals has “seemingly dried up” due to a string of controversies.
Citing palace insiders, Jobson claims that King Charles remains concerned about what will happen when Meghan and Harry’s funds eventually deplete. He noted, “Harry, however, later claimed that his father told him there was ‘not enough money to go around’ for Meghan because he was already having to pay for William and Catherine. Harry was furious, feeling that he and Meghan were entitled to lavish handouts from ‘Pa’ in return for agreeing to serve the Crown.”
Despite Harry’s claims, Jobson states, “In fact, according to close sources, Charles ended up giving Harry a ‘substantial sum’ and did not cut him off financially.” This suggests that King Charles is still willing to support his son, even amidst ongoing tensions and public controversies.
The financial support from King Charles highlights the complexities of the royal family’s internal dynamics, especially as Harry and Meghan navigate their lives outside of royal duties. This revelation adds another layer to the narrative of familial relationships within the monarchy, showing that despite public disputes and personal grievances, there remains a thread of familial obligation and care.
Robert Jobson’s biography is expected to delve deeper into these intricacies, providing further insights into the royal family’s financial and emotional bonds. As these details emerge, they continue to captivate public interest and spark discussions about the roles and responsibilities of the royal family members.
This latest development underscores King Charles’s ongoing concern for his son’s well-being, even as they face significant challenges and differences. It also raises questions about the future financial stability of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as they continue to carve out their path separate from the traditional royal framework.
