The future King of England, out of love for his youngest son, paid part of the expensive expenses of the royal couple so that the former actress feels comfortable and loved in the United Kingdom.
Prince Charles is "hurt" by his youngest son Harry and his wife Meghan Markle's decision to step down as British royals because he has quietly given them millions of pounds to finance their lavish lifestyle. and furnishing their Windsor home in a show of love for the royal couple since they wed 20 months ago.
According to English press reports, Harry's father used the private income from his estate in the Duchy of Cornwall to support the Duke and Duchess of Sussex because he was desperate to keep them happy in the UK, and particularly to support his daughter-in-law afterward. that she moved to Great Britain from Toronto, Canada.
The future King of England has been secretly giving the Duke and Duchess of Sussex millions of pounds of his own fortune to finance his whims. According to The Sun, he handed her a lot of cash - believed to be a sum of £3m a year - 0, on top of the £2.3m he and Markle already receive a year from the Duchy of Cornwall. He also financed much of her May 2018 wedding, which was estimated to be worth up to £30 million.
"There is a lot of pain as the Prince of Wales has done everything possible to help his son, whom he loves very much, and support his daughter-in-law," a source told the Evening Standard.
This Monday father and son clashed for the first time over the abdication crisis at Sandringham with Queen Elizabeth II and Prince William also in the room.
Markle communicated by video conference to support her husband from Vancouver, where she is with her eight-month-old son Archie. Meanwhile, Kate Middleton was not present and was seen at Kensington Palace.
After the meeting amid a crisis in the crown, Queen Elizabeth II spoke for the first time about the decision made on January 8 by the Dukes of Sussex, who announced that they were ending their obligations as members of the British royal family. "Today my family had very constructive discussions about the future of my grandson and his family. My family and I fully support Harry and Meghan's desire to create a new life as a young family," said the 93-year-old sovereign in a statement, thus trying to put a stop to the scandal that was escalating throughout the United Kingdom.
“While we would have preferred them to continue working as full-time members of the royal family, we respect and understand their desire to live a more independent life as a family while still being a valued part of my family. Harry and Meghan have made it clear that they do not want to depend on public funds in their new lives," Elizabeth remarked, referring to the "financial independence" that the dukes had mentioned when they announced their decision.
Elizabeth II was in charge of highlighting: "Harry and Meghan have made it clear that they do not want to depend on public funds in their new lives."
In their statement last week, the Sussexes said they were giving up the 5% they receive from the Sovereign Grant - the taxpayer funds allocated to the queen to finance the royal family - and that they wanted to continue using Frogmore Cottage - the residence in Windsor - to which the couple moved just nine months ago - as their official residence, so that "their family will always have a place to call home in the UK." But that will require her Majesty's permission, as it is still her property. Simultaneously they will need to establish a second home, either in the US or in Canada.
Hours before the emergency summit, brothers Harry and William denied there was a gap between them. In their first joint statement since the crisis broke out last Wednesday and it was to criticize a note published this Monday by a British newspaper, in which it is claimed that Meghan and Harry distanced themselves from the royal family due to alleged bullying by William.
“Despite clear denials on our part, a fake story appeared in a UK newspaper today speculating about the relationship between the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Cambridge. For siblings who care so much about mental health issues, the use of provocative language in this way is offensive and potentially harmful."
Meanwhile, to add ingredients to this endless story, the Canadian prime minister would have offered to finance the security of the dukes if they finally decided to reside in Canada. Justin Trudeau has agreed that taxpayers in his country should foot the huge bill for protecting the couple while they are in the country, Britain's Evening Standard newspaper reported.
Trudeau privately assured Queen Elizabeth II that the safety of Harry, Meghan, and Archie - the royal couple's young son - will not be compromised while they reside there.
But there are fears that the move to pay about half of the estimated annual bill of one million pounds (about $1.3 million) could lead to an "angry" reaction in the North American country and threaten to damage the prestige of the monarchy. over there.
