Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s forecast for 2026 has seen a lot of conversation surrounding money. Some are even claiming the couple are in their struggling phase, despite Meghan taking on roles, appearances, and guest engagements month after month.

The most recent revelations come from a well-placed insiders’ interview with Star Magazine.

They say, “Harry and Meghan are watching every dollar right now. Their cash flow, or lack of it, is a major concern and it’s been that way for a while.”

They even warn, “they may be multi-millionaires with savings they’ve tucked away for emergencies, but their outgoings are absolutely huge.”

As of right now “it all boils down to the fact that they’re not getting those lucrative paydays right now, or at least Harry certainly isn’t.”

Moreover, “Meghan is effectively the family breadwinner. She’s working her socks off on her As Ever brand and other business ventures — that’s providing the bulk of their earnings,” the source also pointed out near the end.

For those still unversed with her most recent appearances, she filmed a cameo in the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios rom-com Close Personal Friends, shot a guest-judging spot on MasterChef Australia during the Sussexes’ April trip Down Under. She’s also led a female-only wellness retreat while in the same city, among other things.
