Prince Harry claimed that his family cut them off financially in early 2020 after he and Meghan Markle left London to live in North America. But sources now claim Prince Charles still supported the Sussexes last year and only stopped taking Harry's calls because he kept asking for more money.
According to insiders, Charles became "fed up" with Harry's frequent calls, a situation any parent could relate if their children treat them like cash cows. Sources also said that the Prince of Wales has bank statements to prove that he was sending money to the Sussexes to support their transition in Los Angeles.
Those close to Charles are surprised by Harry's claims when they told the world in January 2020 that they would like to be financially independent from the royal family. The Prince of Wales is, reportedly, "upset and cut up" with these personal accusations from his son.
Harry also said in the Oprah Winfrey interview that they are getting by with the inheritance his mother, Princess Diana, left. That fortune is an estimated $25 million, which was equally divided between Harry and William when they turned 30 years old.
The Duke of Sussex said that his mother might have seen this problem with Charles cutting them off. However, sources belied the logic as Diana also left the same fortune to Prince William, who is still a working royal and receives financial support from the Crown.
Harry also received an inheritance from the Queen Mother, their great-grandmother, to the tune of $19.3 million. This was divided between him and William as well, but Harry received a larger share. The Queen Mother stipulated that Harry would receive more because he will not have access to the same financial benefits as William when he becomes the king.
Author David McClure wrote in the book Royal Legacy, which covers the royal family's finances, that Harry "highly likely" also receives personal income from a family trust fund. By the time Harry was in his early 30s, he had an estimated $35.9 million net worth, according to the book And What Do You Do? by Norman Baker.
Meanwhile, a GoFundMe fundraiser was set up to help Harry and Meghan pay off their mortgage for their home in Montecito, California. According to reports, it was able to raise $109.50 before the page was taken down.
Anastasia Hanson from California made the GoFundMe page and said that she was not joking about her intention to help Harry and Meghan because she supports their causes -- mental health, inclusivity, and equality. Hanson also said that it gives her happiness to help people and "bring healing and restoration to the whole world."
