Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s recent trip to Australia has sparked a lot of controversy, with insiders suggesting the visit has not gone down well with the royal family back home. The couple’s unofficial tour has been described as having angered The Firm, with sources close to Buckingham Palace using the words “quite outrageous” to describe how the Duke and Duchess behaved during their time Down Under.According to the Daily Express, the Palace was particularly concerned about what it described as “regal choreography” being used for commercial purposes. “In a kingdom where King Charles III is Head of State, all this publicity to support their commercial endeavours,” the report says. “The thing about being a peer royal is that they do it for others and public service, not their bank balance.”
What Meghan Markle and Prince Harry earned from their trip to Australia
Financial expert Ted Jenkin, managing partner of Exit Wealth Advisors, said the couple brought home a significant amount from the visit. “Meghan and Harry can monetize from audience aggregation, premium access, brand leverage,” Page Six said. “In total, this tour could bring in $10 million or more for Meghan and Harry. Every time these two step into the public eye, it’s usually followed by a cash register.”
Meghan Markle is excited, Prince Harry is said to be uncomfortable
Interestingly, the two have very different reactions to the financial outcome of the trip. According to The News, Meghan is happy with her win. “He’s one of those people who gets into a huge rush when it comes to achieving his goals, success is very addictive to him. Money has been worrying him lately, so this cash infusion is a big win, and he’s proud of it,” the source said.Harry, on the other hand, is said to be much more comfortable talking about money. “For Harry, that’s really uncomfortable. He was taught never to talk about money,” the same insider said. “Talking a lot about numbers rubs him the wrong way; he comes across as very sneaky.”With Buckingham Palace fuming and how the couple themselves must feel about the outcome of the trip, it seems the Australian visit has caused friction on more than one front for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
