Multiple insider sources report that Prince Harry recently made a substantial financial request to his father, King Charles, which was flatly denied.
According to sources close to the royal family, Harry wrote to Charles asking for $25 million in funding. However, Charles was reportedly furious about the request and immediately refused. One palace insider mentioned that Charles was astonished when he read Harry's letter, asking for such a massive sum so soon after quitting as a working royal and relocating to America. This incident was described as the final straw.
Another source indicated that Charles views Harry as financially naive and susceptible to the allure of Los Angeles's celebrity scene. It appears their once close father-son relationship has completely deteriorated over financial matters.In January 2020, Harry and Meghan Markle shocked the world by announcing they were stepping down as senior working royals, expressing their desire for financial independence. Despite their claims, rumors soon circulated that Charles was still financially supporting them with millions from his Duchy of Cornwall estate.
This new revelation suggests that Harry continues to rely heavily on his family's wealth.So, what exactly did Harry want the $25 million for? Sources suggest it was to cover security costs for himself and his family during visits to the UK. However, many pointed out that Charles already funds Harry's UK security when he visits, making the request puzzling. Others suspect Harry may have intended to use the money for other, non-security-related projects and investments in California. Adding to the tension, sources claimed the Queen had recently refused a request by Harry to have a photographer take family photos with the Queen and Prince Philip's portraits in the background for their new California home.
She reportedly saw this as an attempt to commercially exploit the monarchy for their Netflix and Spotify deals, escalating tensions between Harry and the senior royals even before this latest financial bombshell.As news of the denied $25 million request spread, photos emerged of a pale-looking Harry leaving an appointment in Santa Barbara. Eyewitnesses reported that he looked grief-stricken and was speeding off alone in his SUV. Could this have been the fallout from Charles completely shutting down his funding plea? It’s no secret that the royals disapprove of Harry and Meghan's ventures into the commercial world. Since stepping down, things have worsened as the couple signed lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify but refused to share details of their new projects.
Their televised interview with Oprah further strained royal relationships as they made accusations of racism and lack of support from the family.This latest financial snub from Charles marks a new low in the fracture between father and son. As king, Charles is expected to financially support working royals like Prince William but clearly wants to sever ties with Harry's freewheeling, non-royal California lifestyle.
Sources say this denial has only pushed Harry and Meghan further into a bitter rivalry with the royal family, which will likely continue to escalate.In summary, a massive $25 million request from Harry has been completely rejected by King Charles, and their once-close father-son bond now appears broken beyond repair. Only time will tell if any reconciliation is possible between the warring Windsors across the pond. Stay tuned for any new royal updates on the Royal Report. Thank you for watching, and until next time.
