Prince Harry’s gift to Meghan for their 8th wedding anniversary has just been reduced to being just a ‘funnel’ to extract dollars.

The accusation has been delivered by royal expert Tom Sykes, over on The Royalist Substack.

In his comment against the Duchess of Sussex, he said “the commercialisation now is totally desperate and I think it makes you wonder what the heck is going on with their finances.”

This comes amid reports Prince Harry is reportedly feeling like “he’s getting very close” to convincing King Charles to agree towards making them part-time royals.

Per Mr Sykes, “he genuinely believes there’s a role for them both, and says the timing to have that conversation is now, while Charles is still able to make those calls.” But “the problem is, Harry can’t keep doing this solo, flying back and forth and trying to rebuild bridges on his own, because for it to really work it needs to feel like a united front.”

However, Meghan is “not at all of the same mind” and the expert claims she has a “new blueprint” for her life, one that does not involve King Charles. All in all “she’s not ready to scrap it all and go back to be the face of the royal family, not a chance. So they’re very much at odds in this, and neither seems ready to budge,” he said before signing off.
