Inside Meghan and Harry's cost of living crisis as they struggle to upkeep lavish lifestyle

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are said to be struggling after an expert suggested that they are facing "financial challenges".The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced they were becoming financially independent when they made their shock exit from the Royal Family back in 2020.The couple signed a number of lucrative deals to help pave their way in their new Hollywood lifestyle but their eye watering $25m contract with Spotify came to an abrupt end last year after their Archetypes podcast was axed.There were also rumours that Harry and Meghan's Netflix deal was at risk as it was reported that they were asked to come up with "more great ideas" after their Netflix deal if they wanted to be paid £40m in outstanding fees.However, a Netflix spokesperson has confirmed that the couple's deal isn't ending "anytime soon", the Mirror reports.They said: "The bond with Archewell Productions is one we deeply value.

Harry & Meghan launched as Netflix's most spectacular documentary debut to date. Our exciting journey with them isn't ending anytime soon."Royal author Tom Bower does not seem convinced however as he said the Sussexes have "no new income streams, no new companies".

Speaking to Closer magazine, he added: "Everything they've attempted to do to relaunch themselves I think in the end has been utterly unsuccessful and has failed."Tom believes the couple's "desperation" to find their new career path could continue into 2024 if they fail to make any announcements soon as he believes their names were unfortunately "tarnished" after being slammed by Spotify executive Bill Simmons who branded them as "grifters".
