According to an expert, Prince Harry felt disheartened, just like me, when he decided to splurge $177,000 in a single day of shopping during his New York City visit. He had already used some of the funds he received from selling a ring. During their visit, Prince Harry seemed frustrated and irate with his wife, Meghan Markle, for taking up most of their time.
According to body language expert Darren Stanton, it was evident that Harry exhibited two contrasting sides during their public appearances. When he was by himself, he seemed remarkably relaxed, with his shoulders down and a frequent smile. Speaking to the press solo, he appeared passionate and authentic, receiving warm applause. However, when Meghan joined him, there was a noticeable shift in his demeanor. In photos from their New York conference, Meghan was seen beaming with a big smile, while Harry seemed as though someone had stolen his joy. His furrowed brows conveyed frustration and anger, making it clear that something was amiss. It seemed as though he found it frustrating to share the spotlight, even with his wife.
The frustration with Meghan was not limited to their time in New York. She had sold her wedding ring, which held sentimental value due to Diana’s stone, and had used the money, along with Harry’s inheritance, to finance her extravagant clothing expenses. During the New York event, Meghan sported two different looks that added up to over $177,000. To start the day, she wore a jacket with black skinny jeans, a 14-karat gold diamond choker necklace worth $3,850, and a Cartier Love bracelet valued at $7,350. She completed the outfit with Jennifer Chamandi Lorenzo5 pumps retailing at $713.
Later in the day, Meghan donned a sophisticated ivory suit featuring the sold-out Alazur wedding off-the-shoulder wool blazer priced at $987 and the matching Alazur Bendix’s wide wool pants, which cost $995. Her shoes were from her favorite brand, Azzedine Alaïa, specifically the Purest 105 pumps in nude leather, amounting to $825. However, the most extravagant part of her outfit was her jewelry, valued at around $6,000.
Currently, it seems the Sussexes are surviving on loans, potentially secured using Harry’s inheritance money if any is left. Their engagement ring, in particular, holds no sentimental value for Meghan, even though it was highly sentimental for Harry.
While their accomplishments in Hollywood, including contracts with Spotify, Netflix, and Penguin, were initially lucrative, it appears that most of those funds have been depleted. The actual contract terms were shorter than expected, with Netflix still holding half of the contract amount.
Additionally, Harry’s book deal, which includes four books, may not be enough to sustain their lavish lifestyle, estimated to cost between $12 to $15 million annually. Meghan generates income from merchandise sales, while Harry receives earnings from investments in companies like Travalyst and BetterUp. However, these sources of income do not come close to covering their financial needs.”
