Does Prince Harry Still Get Money from the Royal Family?

The question of whether Prince Harry receives financial support from the royal family has arisen many times in recent years. Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Harry and his wife Meghan Markle relocated to the United States and have lived there since.

Financial Independence from the Sovereign Grant

According to the official Sussex website, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle no longer receive money from the Sovereign Grant, the government-funded payment to the monarch for official duties. Their transition away from royal roles included a change in how they handle finances.

"In 2020, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the choice to transition into a new working model. As they step back as senior members of the Royal Family and no longer receive funding through the Sovereign Grant, they will become members of the Royal Family with financial independence which is something they look forward to."

Commitment to Charitable Work and Professional Earnings

The Sussexes remain dedicated to their charitable activities and aim to create new initiatives. They also value being able to earn professional income, which was restricted under their previous royal roles.

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex take great pride in their work and are committed to continuing their charitable endeavours as well as establishing new ones. In addition, they value the ability to earn a professional income, which in the current structure, they are prohibited from doing."

Author's summary: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle do not receive funding from the royal family and focus on financial independence through charitable work and professional income.
