Reports Put Meghan Markle in Breadwinner Role as Sussex Finances Face Strain

Fresh reports link steep security bills to a post-Netflix reset that is steering the couple’s income plans.

Overview

  • Page Six reported the couple’s cash is “tight” and cast Meghan Markle as the main earner, a framing repeated by Mirror US.
  • Coverage points to heavy costs in Montecito, with Page Six putting private security near $3 million a year and a $6 million household budget treated as an unverified estimate.
  • After Netflix ended its As Ever tie-in in April, Markle promoted her As Ever brand, joined the OneOff shopping platform, and booked paid appearances to drive sales.
  • Prince Harry kept to philanthropy and legacy projects, with reports noting his BetterUp role and a paid keynote at Australia’s InterEdge Summit.
  • New pieces from Geo News and Daily Times say the pair show a united front and do not plan to split, even as sources describe friction over business ambitions versus a quieter, charity-first path.
