Does Prince Harry Still Receive Money from the Royal Family?
The question of whether Prince Harry continues to get financial support from the royal family has been frequently raised in recent years. After stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have lived in the United States. Many wonder if he still receives money from the monarchy.
Financial Independence Since 2020
According to their official Sussex website, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle no longer receive funds from the Sovereign Grant. This grant is the annual payment from the government to the monarch to cover official duties.
“In 2020, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the choice to transition into a new working model. As they step back as senior members of the Royal Family and no longer receive funding through the Sovereign Grant, they will become members of the Royal Family with financial independence which is something they look forward to.”
The website also highlights their commitment to charitable work and new projects, as well as their desire to earn professional income, which they were previously restricted from doing under royal funding.
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex take great pride in their work and are committed to continuing their charitable endeavours as well as establishing new ones. In addition, they value the ability to earn a professional income, which in the current structure, they are prohibited from doing.”
Summary
Since 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not received money from the royal family, focusing instead on financial independence and new professional opportunities.
