Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Hit With ‘Dirt Poor’ Label Amid Shocking Money Claims

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear to lead an extensive lifestyle. Even after leaving their Montecito mansion in California, they settled down in a luxury property in the U.K. However, rumor has it that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are not as wealthy as they show it to the world. Instead, the rumor called them “dirt poor.”

According to The Blast, the claim originated in a Reddit post in which an anonymous user recounted a conversation with a man they met at a work conference. The man allegedly knew the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and had moved from the U.S. to the U.K.

As the man lived in the Cotswolds, the user asked him whether he had met Harry and Markle. The anonymous user claimed that the conversation was not as fluent as one would expect. The man told them about Harry’s politeness but refused to answer about his encounter with the Duchess. He simply said, “I find him really easy to get on with. I think he gets too much of a hard time in the press.”

However, he later offered the user some interesting gossip from the British neighborhood where the Sussexes are residing. The man said, “They are saying Harry and Meghan are dirt poor.” The anonymous user emphasized that he called the Sussexes “dirt poor” multiple times. “They are dirt poor, and everyone knows it. Everyone knows they have run out of money,” he added. 

He also shared another rumor from the Cotswolds and called Harry a “simp.” The man continued to share, “Meghan and one of her friends went to a big baseball game.” “She and her friend were sitting there making a list of all the players and who they’d like to marry. Who was the richest, who was the best-looking,” the man added. At the end, he claimed that Harry was sitting beside his wife the whole time. 

The Sussexes’ finances do not tell the same story. Moreover, the claims by the Reddit user have not been individually verified. Although the user noted at the end that the man appeared to be someone who would have known the Sussexes. 

The rumor came after an insider claimed that finances were keeping Harry up at night. According to Closer, an insider said the Duke is not money-minded when it comes to his attempts to reconcile with his family. However, at the end of the day, he has to feed his family and protect their future. 

The father of two is therefore worried that his father, King Charles, was under his estranged brother’s influence. “He’s convinced William would not care less if he and Meghan miss out financially,” the source said. They added, “The way Charles has been praising William lately has him deeply worried that his brother is the only one his father really listens to when it comes to these big future decisions.”

The source claimed that Harry is therefore worried about his royal inheritance. However, there is no evidence that the monarch intends to alter his will and change his plans about his estate.
