The Duke of Sussex’s reaction when King Charles reportedly told his son he wasn’t go to foot the bill for Meghan “infuriated” Prince Harry.

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their engagement in 2017, everything seemed fine as the public had no idea there was any trouble brewing behind the scenes. But then years later came numerous reports that there was drama behind closed doors.

Meghan and her future sister-in-law, the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton), clashed during a bridesmaid dress fitting. And Harry and Prince William reportedly had bouts over the younger prince’s decision to marry the former Suits star. In Harry’s memoir Spare, he said that there was also some friction with his father, now-King Charles, about paying for Meghan’s wardrobe and other expenses.

Now, a new book is revisiting that topic and how Charles even suggesting that he wasn’t going to pay for Meghan left the Duke of Sussex “infuriated.”

Claim that Prince Harry was furious when Charles didn’t want to pay for Meghan

 Before Harry and Meghan got together, Charles was paying for his wife Camilla, Prince William, Kate, and Harry’s working expenses from his $28 million Duchy of Cornwall income. That covered things like their salaries, clothes, and office costs.

In his memoir, Harry claimed that his father told him the family didn’t have “enough money” to cover Meghan too and why Charles had always paid for his sons writing: “Pa didn’t financially support Willy and me, and our families, out of any largesse. That was his job. That was the whole deal.”

In the book Our King: Charles III — The Man and the Monarch Revealed, royal expert Robert Jobson spoke about the reaction Harry is said to have gotten from his brother and father when he let them know Meghan was going to be joining the family as a working royal.

As reported in the Mirror, William asked him if his sibling was “sure” he wanted to marry her, before Charles said he could not afford to pay for Meghan’s expenses too. The future monarch reportedly explained that he could not pay for her as well as Camilla, William, Kate, and their young family. The conversation allegedly left Harry “infuriated,” with tensions growing until he and Meghan tied the knot in 2018.
