Welcome to the brave new world! The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced on Wednesday night that they will be stepping down from royal duties to pursue a financially independent life and people are unclear.
The unexpected decision raised many questions, including: Where will they live and with what money will they live? Will Harry and Meghan be transferred to Canada? If so, where? Will they keep Frogmore Cottage in Windsor Castle, which was renovated with a $ 3 million fund funded by British taxpayers?
It has been rumored for many months that the couple wanted to have their own "space" away from British tabloids, who appear to have been "entertained" enough by dealing with the image of Meghan Markle. But space also means removing all the privileges of being a prince.
The desire to be financially independent seems indispensable to the Jew, but it is still unclear how they will live now that they no longer enjoy the financial duties and benefits of the kingdom.
Since Harry decided to give up the kingdom, he is said to have lost $ 10.5 million annually from the Sovereign Grant, which divides the income between Harry and William. This grant is funded by taxpayers.
The Daily Mail reports that they will be responsible for covering the costs of their staff, which includes a private secretary and baby daddy Archie. The total cost is $ 1.3 million per year.
But because there is always a por, Harry and Meghan are unlikely to be poor.
Harry has a fortune of $ 40 million, including $ 26 million from the legacy of his late mother, Princess Diana. Meghan Markle, meanwhile, has a fortune of $ 5 million, up from $ 50,000 per episode she earned during Suits.
Another source of Prince's income is the annual extra money coming from Prince Charles's estate. The money reaches the figure of $ 1.5 billion.
Another valuable asset is Frogmore Cottage. The historic villa is a gift from the queen.
Of course, if Harry and Meghan buy another home across the Atlantic, there will be additional costs that the prince can easily afford as long as he enjoys his father's $ 1.5 billion real estate and income.
