Does Prince Harry Still Receive Money from the Royal Family?

Many have asked whether Prince Harry continues to receive funds from the royal family following his shift away from official duties. The Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan Markle, relocated to the United States in 2020 after stepping back from their royal roles.

Financial Independence after Stepping Back

According to their official Sussex website, Prince Harry and Meghan do not receive any money from the Sovereign Grant, which is the government-funded payment to the monarch for official duties. This was confirmed in 2020 when they announced their decision to stop performing senior royal duties.

“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 couple expressed pride in their charitable work and their plans to continue and establish new initiatives. They also appreciate the opportunity to earn a professional income, which they were previously restricted from under the royal funding structure.

“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.”

Prince Harry no longer receives financial support from the royal family and is financially independent since stepping back from royal duties in 2020.

Author's conclusion: Since 2020, Prince Harry has been financially independent, receiving no funds from the royal family and focusing on his own professional and charitable activities.
