Meghan's royal reality check: Harry not a billionaire, claims book
Meghan Markle had to reassess her views on the British monarchy after discovering that Prince Harry is not a billionaire. At least, that's what royal expert Tom Quinn claims in his new book.
There is likely no doubt that the royals are not only the country's showcase but also a thriving business. This is the assumption of authors who try to expose the secrets of the British monarchy in their publications. This is the case again, as Tom Quinn's book "Yes Ma'am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants" is set to hit the market soon.
Was Meghan disappointed with Harry's fortune? expert reveals
Excerpts from Quinn's work have already reached the media, revealing surprising insights about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The royal expert claims that Meghan had a completely different idea of the wealth of both Harry and the entire British family.
When Meghan discovered that Harry was only worth about £20 million ($25 million), what ended up happening is that she realized she needed to reassess other assumptions she’d made about this strange new family, claims Quinn in excerpts published in advance by "The Times".
The author believes that Meghan had a particularly "American" approach to the matter, hence her probably inflated expectations. According to him, Markle imagined that the royals lived like in a fairy tale, occasionally attending balls and being surrounded by luxury. Quinn assures that this will not be new information for the royals, as court staff even speak about it openly.
As one royal staff member put it, she expected a billionaire and she got a millionaire, he writes.
It's worth mentioning that Meghan herself has talked about the difficulties of adjusting to royal standards. It is said that this has affected her relations with the royals, which remain cool to this day. We guess the loud revelations probably didn’t help either...
