Meghan Markle's royal wealth expectations reset by Harry's fortune
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 probably no doubt that the royals are not only a symbol of the country but also a thriving business. This is the assumption made by authors of books aiming to expose the secrets of the British monarchy. This is the case once 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
The first excerpts of Quinn's work have already reached the media, revealing surprising news about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The royal expert claims that the former royal's wife had a completely different perception of the wealth of both Harry and the entire famous British family.
When Meghan discovered that Harry was only worth about £20 million (CAD 35.5 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, which might have led to her inflated expectations. According to him, Markle imagined that the royals lived like in a fairy tale, attending balls and being surrounded by luxury. Quinn assures that this will not come as news to the royals, as court staff reportedly discuss it openly.
As one royal staff member put it, she expected a billionaire and she got a millionaire, he writes.
It's worth noting that Meghan herself has talked about the difficulties of adjusting to royal standards. This is said to have affected her relations with the royals, which remain cool to this day. The recent revelations probably didn’t help either...
