Writing in his Celebrity Intelligence newsletter<\/a>, Dan Wakeford, a royal expert and former editor of People Magazine, suggests that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are “wildly unhappy” and that they have reportedly had to \u201ccut back\u201d, cutting their number of staff members from 16 full-time employees to just five.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Wakeford writes that after speaking with five sources close to the Sussexes, Meghan<\/a> is reportedly aware of how careful they ned to be when it comes to their finances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The columnist explains: \u201cMeghan has a sense of how careful they need to be \u2026. Harry \u2013 raised in a world where everything was provided \u2013 reportedly lacks basic awareness of what things cost.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In their shock interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, Harry confirmed that he was cut off in “the first quarter of 2020,” but revealed that he had what his late mother, Diana, had left him. According to Forbes, Harry received an “estimated $10 million inheritance” from his late mother’s estate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mentioning his inheritance in Spare, he wrote: “Upon reaching thirty, I’d receive a large sum left to me by Mummy. I scolded myself for being gloomy about that: most people would kill to inherit money. To me, however, it was another reminder of her absence, another sign of the void she’d left, which pounds and euros could never fill.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While Harry noted that he could spend the money on security, he said that spending it would be a “last resort”. He added: “We saw that money as belonging to Archie. And his sibling.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prince Harry<\/a>‘s late great-grandmother is understood to have set up the trust with an estimated \u00a319million in 1994 to provide a tax-free lump sum to all of her great-grandchildren. When he turned 40 in 2024, Harry reportedly received between \u00a37 and \u00a38 million after the fund matured over the years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Queen Mother was 94 when the fund was set up. The money was to be distributed among her younger relatives, with a first payment on their 21st birthdays and a second payment when they reached 40.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ever since they stepped back from their roles as senior working royals, the Sussexes have had numerous ways to make money, including lucrative deals with streaming giants such as Netflix<\/a> and Spotify.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As well as this, the pair regularly make paid appearances to speak at events, gain money through Meghan’s As Ever business and previously received huge sums from Harry’s memoir, Spare.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has been contacted for comment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
