Meghan Markle’s ‘Massive Ego’ Affecting Prince Harry Relationship — Report

Meghan Markle reportedly faced fresh claims that her money worries created tension with Prince Harry. A new podcast with Mark Dolan discussion claimed the Duchess of Sussex wanted him to bring in more cash. The claim centered on their lifestyle, Montecito costs, and different attitudes toward work. It also framed Markle as the more business-minded partner, while Harry was described as less focused on earning.

As per the “Daily Expresso” podcast uploaded on June 1, Mark Dolan discussed the couple’s finances with JJ Anisiobi. Dolan claimed Markle was worried about cash flow and said, “Megan’s had enough.” He added that “Harry’s got to pull his weight,” because she was active with Instagram, Archie and Lilibet updates, and her As Ever brand. The host also claimed Prince Harry saw charity work as enough. However, the former said, “being a global citizen, doesn’t pay the mortgage.”

The conversation then moved to the couple’s Montecito home. Dolan claimed the property carried a large annual mortgage and said the pair once expected speaking deals, Netflix money, and “Spare” income to continue. He said the “gravy train has come off the rails,” calling it a “gravy train wreck.” Meanwhile, Anisiobi asked why they did not downsize. Dolan answered that the issue was Meghan’s “massive ego.” He then said the Duchess was “the more entrepreneurial of the two,” and “the more financially proactive.”

Still, Dolan claimed the gap between Markle and Harry came from lifestyle expectations. He said she had “expensive taste” and wanted a house that sent a message about her place in Hollywood. The host also claimed Harry “is not entrepreneurial” and “doesn’t know how to make money.” He added that Harry would prefer “a dusty rural estate” with land, animals, and a quieter life. The podcast ended that section by suggesting their finances, public image, and home choices remained a major fault line.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are furious about the fate of their one-time cottage near Windsor Castle, sources close to the couple tell The Royalist.

The Royalist Podcast host Tom Sykes first revealed their fury over the weekend, writing that the couple is peeved at the Crown Estate’s announced plan to reverse their $3 million in renovations at Frogmore Cottage, erasing any traces of their customizations.

The posh piece of royal real estate—located about half a mile from Adelaide Cottage, where William and Kate lived until 2025—has sat empty since Harry and Meghan fully vacated the property in 2023 and moved to Montecito, California.

Sykes contends that Meghan and Harry’s public beef with the royal family left them no choice but to evict the couple and their family from the Windsor grounds

Had the Sussexes not bashed the family, Sykes estimates that they would still have access to the cottage, which was a wedding gift from the late Queen Elizabeth.

Had they left and not then spent the next five years chucking rocks at the institution, trying to smash, burn everything down, burn every bridge, I think they would have probably been allowed to keep Frogmore Cottage,” he said. “[If] they hadn’t gone public with all their resentments, they hadn’t made all the films, they hadn’t written the books, they hadn’t called the royal family racist...”

The cottage was renovated by the Sussexes ahead of eldest child Archie’s birth in 2019. Now, those renovations are set to be stripped away, and the house will be converted back into staff apartments.

The renovations were originally paid for by taxpayers, as Frogmore was going to be the official home of the then-working royals. But the costs were repaid by the Sussexes after their break from the royal family.

The Sussexes’ formal eviction in 2023 would never have occurred while the Queen was alive, sources close to the couple tell the Royalist.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s marriage implodes ahead of U.K. visit

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had a “huge row” over their upcoming return to the U.K., according to new claims.

Wonderwall.com can reveal strain between the Sussexes has increased in recent weeks and the alleged argument took place before Meghan’s pre-planned trip to Geneva.

And according to insiders, tensions have been “off the scale” ever since.

A source told Heatworld: “Things boiled over just hours before Meghan flew out to Geneva, and she and Harry didn’t speak for a while afterwards. Meghan’s mum Doria was staying at their house while she was away, and so she was FaceTiming her to speak to the children.”

“Harry had been getting incredibly sentimental ahead of their eighth anniversary, while also desperately trying to map out this big family summer in Europe,” the source continued. “He’s carving out time at Balmoral, so his father King Charles can see Archie and Lilibet.”

Insiders claim Meghan isn’t pleased with his plans to spend so much time on the royal family’s home turf amid the ongoing tensions, particularly with the Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The relationship between the “Fab Four”, as they were once dubbed, has deteriorated since Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, left the royal family in 2020. The last time the four were seen together was at the late Queen’s funeral in September 2022, and things are still strained.

The source noted, “The plan for Harry and Meghan was to base themselves in Portugal for the summer, then spend time in Balmoral. But Meghan has heard that William and Kate have told Harry the Sussexes are ‘not welcome’ and they refuse to have their family sanctuary disrupted by what they called ‘Hollywood drama.'”

Meghan flipped, and a normal argument turned into a showdown. Tensions are at an all-time high,” the source claimed.

Shortly after their disagreement, Meghan headed to Switzerland to attend the installation of the Lost Screen Memorial. Opened at the Place des Nations, it was created by the Sussexes’ Archewell Philanthropies, and features 50 illuminated lightboxes displaying the lock screens of young people who tragically lost their lives to online violence and digital harm.

But days after returning home to California, Meghan went all out for their eighth wedding anniversary on social media, despite the tension with Harry.

Sharing pictures and videos on Instagram from the kitchen of their Montecito home, the couple sang “Happy anniversary to mama and papa” to the tune of “Happy Birthday”, alongside their children Archie, 7, and 4-year-old Lilibet.

They also shared a kiss before blowing out the candles of a lemon elderflower cake – which they had at their 2018 royal wedding – and Meghan reacted to a sentimental penguin sculpture from Harry, inspired by their 2017 engagement party costumes.

The former Suits actress then shared two Instagram carousels of previously unseen photos from their Windsor wedding, writing below both, “Eight years ago today…”

Despite the loved-up posts on Instagram, the couple are reportedly still at a stand-off over their summer.

The insider added: “Meghan’s bust-up with Harry was a big one, and she’s digging her heels in. She’s told Harry to go the U.K. without her, as there was no way she would be joining. She doesn’t want to put herself, or the kids, through the drama.”
