Does Prince Harry Still Receive Money from the Royal Family?
The question of whether Prince Harry continues to receive funds from the royal family has been frequently asked in recent years. After stepping back from royal duties in 2020, the Duke of Sussex, along with his wife Meghan Markle, relocated to the United States, where they have lived since. But does this mean he still gets financial support from the monarchy?
Financial Independence After Stepping Back
According to the official Sussex website, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle no longer receive money from the Sovereign Grant. This grant is an annual government payment made to the monarch to fund official royal activities. Following their announcement to step back from royal work, it was clarified that the Sussexes would not get royal family funding going forward.
“In 2020, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have 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 Sussexes' New Approach
The couple takes pride in their work and remains committed to their charitable causes, while also looking to establish new initiatives. They also value earning a professional income, which was not permitted under the previous royal structure.
“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
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle no longer receive money from the royal family and have gained financial independence to pursue their charitable and professional goals.
