Spouses are not going to abandon royal housing, writes "7 days".
Numerous critics of Meghan Markle were surprised to learn that the Duchess and her husband Prince Harry did begin to cover the damage they caused to the treasury. As it became known, they paid the first tranche of their multi-million dollar debt. However, as it turned out, they did not pay too much - only 18 thousand dollars, so the process of debt compensation will take as much as 11 years!
It is about replenishing the funds spent by Megan and Harry on the reconstruction of the cottage Frogmore Cottage, located on the territory of Windsor Castle. For the construction work in this building, which Queen Elizabeth allocated for her grandson and his wife when they announced their desire to move out of the grounds of Kensington Palace, £ 2,4 million was spent.
Moreover, it was not Megan and Harry who financed these expenses from their personal funds. This amount was paid from the so-called Sovereign Grant - the budget amount that the British government allocates for the expenses of the queen and her relatives. And when Megan and Harry announced their withdrawal from the royal family, naturally, the question arose of whether they should return the taxpayers' money.

Note that they will not only have to return the aforementioned 2,4 million, but also pay for the rental of Frogmore Cottage, because, having left first for Canada and then for the USA, they decided not to abandon their British housing.
It is curious that the source of the first payment to Megan and Harry is not reported. And, as Megan’s enemies suspect, in fact, these 18 thousand were paid not at all by the prince with the duchess, but by Harry’s father - Prince Charles. After all, after his son left the royal family, he promised not to deprive him of his financial assistance.
As it became known, the eldest son of the queen committed to transfer to Harry's account 2 million pounds a year from his personal income. And after it turned out that Megan and Harry would not be able to cover the cost of their XNUMX-hour security themselves, Charles undertook to pay this amount. And since at the present time the younger brother of William and his wife have not yet had their source of income, there is a suspicion that the same Charles took up the debt ...
