Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Will Never Fit In Hollywood Because They're 'Poor,' Expert Says
An expert believes that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would never fit in Hollywood.
Despite the fact that they purchased a $14 million Montecito "mansion," their property is deemed a "humble cottage" in comparison to what California's super-rich can buy.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, along with their children Lilibet Diana and Archie Harrison, have lived in a nine-bedroom property in a gated enclave since leaving the British monarchy as senior working royals over two years ago.
According to reports, they have a $7.25 million mortgage and will require around $65,000 each month for the next 30 years to satisfy their repayments, property taxes, and insurance.
However, it has been reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are interested in a property in another affluent enclave, Hope Ranch, where homes may cost up to $22.5 million.
Tina Brown, a royal scholar and author, asserted that the couple is not as wealthy as certain Hollywood celebrities who are deemed "very affluent."
The Telegraph quoted the former Vanity Fair editor, saying, "It's not very pleasant to be a D-list celebrity who, for them, doesn't have enough money. It's a wholly different game to be with those super-rich people."
When the Sussexes declared their intention to resign as working royals in order to be "financially independent," the latest royal accounts revealed in June demonstrated that they had already accomplished this.
Since relinquishing their royal duties, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have signed partnerships worth millions of dollars, making them extremely wealthy.
One of the transactions involves Netflix and is supposed to be worth $115 million, while another involves Spotify and is said to be worth $18.5 million.

In an interview with Oprah in 2021, Prince Harry confessed that he and his wife depended on his fortune from his late mother, Princess Diana, to successfully relocate to the United States.
At the time of her death in August 1997, it was allegedly worth around $8 million.
The planned memoir by Prince Harry is also likely to contribute to their finances. The shocking book was meant to be released at the end of the year, but it may now be delayed owing to Queen Elizabeth II's death.
The delay is also due to the Duke of Sussex "desperately" making changes to the book after the late monarch's passing.
