Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing a fresh wave of tension behind the scenes, with insiders claiming differences over money are beginning to hit a nerve.

According to a US-based entertainment site, the Duchess of Sussex is said to feel strongly about the work she puts into building their income and becomes defensive when her motives are questioned, especially by Harry.

Recently, the Sussexes went on a pseudo-royal tour of Australia where they were accused of mixing charity work with money-making efforts.

It happened after the outfits Meghan wore while meeting sick children and victims of tragic events were later promoted on a shopping platform she’s linked to, allowing people to buy the same looks.

“Meghan gets extremely defensive when she’s accused of being greedy or overly obsessed with making money, so the fact Harry’s giving her a hard time over it cuts a major nerve,” the insider said of the former Suits star.

They continued, “She thinks it’s totally out of line. He was born into such tremendous wealth and privilege, never needing to worry about the bigger picture financially, let alone the stress of paying everyday bills.

“Of course Harry is now co-carrying the weight of their expensive lifestyle with zero help from his family, but it doesn’t take away Meghan’s annoyance.

“She believes that Harry should be cheering their success from the rooftops and respecting her for what she brings to the table.”
