With the news that Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex\u2019s<\/a> billion-dollar brand has dropped to bargain-basement value, insiders say heir-to-the-throne Prince William<\/a> is becoming increasingly worried that his brother\u2019s new desire to return to the UK could simply be a plan to get their hands on a share of the King\u2019s sizeable fortune.<\/p>\n

In December, it was revealed Charles, 77, was the world\u2019s first billionaire monarch, with some reports suggesting he has amassed a private fortune of $4.2 billion. And while Meghan and Harry\u2019s net worth has been estimated to be around $105 million, the duchess recently admitted on a podcast that even though she feels guilt over having a lot of money, she sometimes thinks, \u201cI\u2019ll never have enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now royal insiders tell Woman\u2019s Day Meghan, 44, could be banking on getting Harry\u2019s inheritance from the King, as well as other royal relatives. However, William, 43, is said to be upping his bid to have the couple written out of all and any future inheritance plans.<\/p>\n

William draws a firm line<\/h2>\n

\u201cWilliam insists this isn\u2019t about holding grudges or punishing Harry for old wounds,\u201d a palace source tells. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe says it\u2019s basic common sense and protecting the institution. From his point of view, Harry didn\u2019t just step away quietly \u2013 he turned his back on royal life in a very public, hostile way and he cannot reconcile that with the idea of Harry continuing to get financial rewards. \u201cWilliam\u2019s influence inside The Firm counts for a great deal. When he raises concerns, people listen, including his father. He\u2019s probably deeply sceptical about how any funds would actually be used. \u201cEven if the money technically went to Harry, William\u2019s worried about whether it would be quickly redirected to support Meghan\u2019s ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Long-running royal tensions<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s no secret that after Megxit, Charles became increasingly fed up with Harry, 41, and Meghan\u2019s requests for more cash. At the time, the now-late Queen Elizabeth<\/a> allegedly made efforts to reunite her
son and grandson ahead of her death, after she was placed on light duties due to her reduced mobility.<\/p>\n

But when she asked Charles why he was refusing to take Harry\u2019s calls or emails, he reportedly responded, \u201cBecause I am not a bank,\u201d referring to the couple\u2019s repeated requests for cash. And William is also said to have concerns over how Harry and Meghan would spend any royal money.<\/p>\n

Fears over future fallout<\/h2>\n

\u201cHe worries what could happen financially if the marriage ever collapsed,\u201d says our insider. <\/p>\n

\u201cAt least this way, he could decide at a later date what to dole out to his brother. \u201cHe sees it as his duty to think several steps ahead and to caution others to do the same. In private, he\u2019s been warning senior figures not to be naive. \u201cFrom William\u2019s perspective, trusting them with any future inheritance would just be madness and he\u2019s said to be determined to do everything in his power to make sure
that door stays firmly shut. <\/p>\n

\u201cAside from his personal disdain for Meghan, he says handing over money to her and Harry, even if it is from an inheritance, would send the wrong message. \u201cTo him, it reinforces the idea that you can walk away, criticise the monarchy relentlessly and still cash in later without the sign of any real consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a surprise move, Prince Harry has nabbed his first rom-com role \u2013 and insiders wouldn\u2019t be surprised if he makes a cameo too!<\/p>\n

The prince will join Meghan as a producer on Netflix<\/a> movie The Wedding Date, an adaptation of the book by bestselling author Jasmine Guillory, with Girls Trip co-writer Tracy Oliver signing on too. The plot sees two strangers, Alexa and Drew, become stuck in a hotel elevator during a power outage. With Drew needing a last-minute date for his ex\u2019s wedding, he takes Alexa as his plus-one to the event and the pair fakes a relationship.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cMeghan\u2019s cameo in Close Personal Friends, along with teaming up with Harry to produce other projects, like documentary Cookie Queens, is just the start,\u201d an insider explains of their scheme to run a Reese Witherspoon-style empire.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeghan has no plans on taking the lead role as they\u2019re hoping to attract some serious talent to the cast, but she has been brushing up on her acting skills ever since they got the Netflix deal.\u201d<\/p>\n
