Prince Harry revealed in his Oprah interview that the Sussexes stopped receiving money from the royal family in the first quarter of 2020. However, newly published accounts reveal that Prince Charles continued to financially support the Sussexes until summer 2020.

I wonder if this is going to be a case of their truth or incorrect wording on Harry’s behalf. Interesting!

FFS, he's a very rich man who can live a very decent life and leave his children a very decent amount just with what he has in the bank.

He is already privileged beyond belief, and I don't give a fuck about his whinging.

IrmaFayLear · 24/06/2021 11:22

If anyone in support of Harry has dcs, would you be impressed if they were asking you for money at 38 years old?

Furthermore, Harry could have had security with bells on if he had stayed working as a royal in the UK . Ditching his duties (particularly the dull as ditchwater ones) and living in the US - not even a commonwealth country - and expecting full British security was breathtakingly arrogant and clueless.

Mummy194 · 24/06/2021 11:31

The security was taken while they were in Canada.

Mummy194 · 24/06/2021 11:36

Harry is not whinging about money now.

He explains that at the time, the security was just cut, he asks at some point, did the risk go down.

They were on their one year extension, doing royal duties like the rest of the RF in terms on zoom calls and letters. This was an opportunity for them to find their feet. They don't need money now, they needed security then - which is why it was helpful for Tyler Perry to come in.

I can no longer find the full interview, but here is a snippet of what he said about that time.

To answer @IrmaFayLear
If my child and and a one year old baby were being threatened by Neo-nazis and anthrax threats, my first thought would be to protect them, till they get up on their feet.

IrmaFayLear · 24/06/2021 12:07

You must spend an awful lot of time researching everything about the Sussexes and the royal family at large, @Mummy194 . You provide many links, background information, detailed knowledge…. It sounds like a real Labour of love, or full time job…

Mummy194 · 24/06/2021 12:09

Not really, a quick look on SM gives you all the receipts from various people. Just scroll down, it's all right there !

@Tal45

I don't understand his 'my family cut me off financially' statement - what sort of entitled person thinks they're family should be paying for them once they're an adult, he'd already had 7 mil from his mother, why should his dad be financially supporting him? He doesn't want to be a royal, that's fine, but he's 36 years old for gods sake and bleating that his family aren't paying his keep. I just find him more and more pathetic and dislikeable by the day.
Me too.
Sensateria · 24/06/2021 12:18

A 36 year old multi millionaire whining to a billionaire that daddy cut him off financially.

I couldn’t give a rats ass if they cut him off in March or July.

He is so totally unlikeable now, it’s made me realise what a great job the palace PR team were doing for him all those years.

ObviousNameChage · 24/06/2021 12:24

The Cambridges also got money, it's mentioned in the article. The 4.5 mil was split (equally or not) between them.

Not a whisper about that though.

GlencoraP · 24/06/2021 12:29

That’s because it’s the money they get to find their activities as working royals, also they haven’t loaned about it on global TV

This thread has just reminded me to check which of the DC are still on our Netflix account.

GlencoraP · 24/06/2021 12:30

Blasted predictive text . Obviously find should be fund and loaned should be moaned

DogsSausages · 24/06/2021 12:30

He is a grown man, he inherited money from his mummy and the QM. He must have earned a salary when he was in the military. M has her own money. They live in a massive mansion, they live overseas, I do not see what they have to moan about.

I'd assume there's not been a whisper about that as they haven't been complaining about being cut off?

They didn't have enough money for the level of secirty required. Now they earn enough... but are criticised for how they earn it.

The fact is, their family had credible, racist and army service related death threats (credible enough in one case for conviction) so need 24/7/365 professional protection which costs a fortune. As soon as their security was withdrawn, they had to do whatever they could to earn enough to pay for it for their rest of their lives - and their kids lives. That requires much more capital than £7-£10mil.

DogsSausages · 24/06/2021 13:16

Maybe they will need to sell up and downsize if they are struggling.

Why on earth would there be a whisper ? W and C are U.K. based working members of the RF !?

IrmaFayLear · 24/06/2021 13:23

They could have toddled off to a country pad in the UK, stepped back from most royal duties and still had full security. The fly in the ointment was wanting full protection in California. If anyone believes that Meghan intended to live in the back woods of Canada then they’re a bigger fool than Harry is.

PicsInRed · 24/06/2021 13:30

That's simply not true. If they weren't full time working royals, they would receive security only on engagements - which obviously leave them and their small children open to being horribly murdered outside working hours (and the kids whenever not with their parents). Not best outcome, you'd presumably agree.

DogsSausages · 24/06/2021 13:34

Maybe they will inherit even more money when other family members die.

Coronateachingagain · 24/06/2021 13:35

@Mummy194 you forgot the Sussex foundation they opened and closed and left behind after spending hundreds of thousands to set it up? This is small money for the anyways. Keep those Netflix snippets coming! Lots of expense coming with big house, bigger family and all and luxury does not come cheap.

EdithWeston · 24/06/2021 13:40

@Notonthestairs

Depending on payment terms you can receive an invoice in Q1 but not necessarily need to pay it until the next Q.
Public sector accounts are all done on date of accrual these days.

If Harry had said 'My family stopped funding us directly in the first half of 2020' there would be n comment.

Instead he went for more colourful language and a statement which is not totally accurate

HoppingPavlova · 24/06/2021 14:12

Well, let’s see how many more of them he completely trashes in future interviews before getting carried away with this line of thinking.

MissyB1 · 24/06/2021 14:13

who knew he was such a dickhead

Well I sort of suspected when he dressed up as a Nazi for a laugh....
