Prince Harry and Meghan Markle pledge to work to support themselves in 2020
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have finally achieved a major milestone, two years after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex promised to work to support themselves.
The Sussexes are no longer receiving funding from the Prince of Wales, as Sovereign Grant reports, while the rest of the royal family continues to spend largely.
A source close to Prince Charles told The Mirror: "The Duke and Duchess should be congratulated on achieving their goal of millions from the private sector".
Meanwhile, Sir Michael Stevens, the Monarch's keeper of the Privy Purse, shared yesterday that around £102.4 million was spent last year, an increase of 17 per cent over the previous year.
Most of the spending money was spent on the major ten-year program of Buckingham Palace's ongoing renovation.
It was reported that around £54.6 million – a 41 per cent increase in expenses, had been snuffed out by the renovation alone.
