Meghan and Harry to Receive Financial Support from Prince Charles after 'Megxit'
After Meghan Markle and Prince Harry released a public announcement about their plans to give up their roles as senior royals in the pursuit of financial independence, not only the UK, but the entire world was shocked. It had become a matter of debate and a subject of many news and features in different media.
Leaving Their Senior Royal Titles
Despite the renouncement of their senior royal titles, Harry's place in the line of succession in the British throne is unchanged, says an article. Also, it does not remove the couple's options to move in royal circles. On March 9, the couple had joined the royal family for a Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey.
Receiving Support from Prince Charles
Before they leave their senior royal titles behind, their departure had already been arranged. Prince Charles had vowed to provide financial support to the couple through the Duchy of Cornwall, his private estate.
The couple was allowed to keep their residential home on the Windsor state in England. However, they are asked to repay the £2.4 million (approximately $3 million) of public funds used to refurbish their home. Regardless, the couple had expressed their intentions to spend a lot of time in North America than in the UK.
Primarily, the couple planned to stay in Canada. They had already taken a house located on an island in Vancouver. However, in a recent tweet by President Donald Trump, the couple had left Canada and moved to the US.

The Couple is Getting Ready for Work
Harry had already accepted a few speaking events with Wall Street banks where he talked about mental health issues. Meghan Markle had also accepted a voiceover gig for a Disney film about the protection of elephants in Botswana. They are both closely associated with these issues. This allows the couple to credibly speak to them. Also, they are projects that could transform into rewarding income streams without compromising the royal brand.
The challenge of moving forward into the next chapter of their lives will include discovering new deals that give sufficient income streams for the couple and at the same time does not damage the royal brand.
Like everyone, the couple is now going to pay for their bill. The couple had promised to stop using the royal brand. In the first place, it was the primary thing that made them commercially viable.
The message of the Couple to the World: Focus on COVID-19 Response
According to a statement released through a spokesperson of the couple, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry would appreciate that in the following weeks and months, the focus of the world remains on the response to the COVID-19 crisis.
