Does Prince Harry Still Receive Money from the Royal Family?
The question of whether Prince Harry continues to receive financial support from the royal family has been frequently raised over the past few years. After stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, relocated to the United States, where they have lived since.
According to the official Sussex website, they no longer receive funds from the Sovereign Grant, the annual payment allocated by the government to the monarch for official duties. This change was confirmed in 2020 when they announced their decision to step back from senior royal roles.
“In 2020, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have 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.”
“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.”
Since their departure from official royal duties, Harry and Meghan have focused on financial independence and professional careers outside the constraints of the royal funding system.
Summary
Prince Harry no longer receives funding from the royal family’s Sovereign Grant and has embraced financial independence since stepping back from royal duties in 2020.
