Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have been making headlines for their financial situation.

After leaving their royal duties, the couple has been struggling to maintain their lavish lifestyle and pay for their security.

Recently, Prince Charles stopped taking Prince Harry's calls as the Duke of Sussex kept asking him for money, according to a royal commentator.

The most famous marriage in recent years between Harry and Meghan and Netflix was revealed in 2020.

They signed a deal with the streaming giant for a reported payout of up to $140 million.

The Sussexes claimed that they were forced into this commercial merger after his family cut off their finances post-Megxit.

Their deals with Netflix and Spotify were never part of the plan.

The focus on the Sussexes' ties to Netflix returned to the news this week after Page Six reported that the Ducal duo had been covertly shooting an at-home docuseries for Netflix.

Hollywood insiders are abuzz about the show, which sounds suspiciously like a reality show.

It seems that Charles' tight-fisted parsimony left poor Harry and Meghan with no choice but to succumb to Netflix's come-hither glances so they could pay for their retinue of beefy bodyguards.

But was their money situation truly so baleful that their only option was to sell themselves to the highest TV bidder?

Harry inherited a significant amount of money from both the Queen Mother and Princess Diana, with an estimated total inheritance of $40.7 million as of early 2021.

Meghan, on the other hand, made history as the first self-made millionaire to marry into the House of Windsor, with a net worth of $5.3 million on her wedding day.

Therefore, when the Sussexes landed in Los Angeles in March 2020, they had an estimated $46 million.

Their ongoing costs, the biggest of which was their security, were estimated to range from $1.4 million to $4.7 million for a privately funded retinue of bodyguards.

While not cheap, for a couple worth $46 million, and with book deals and speaking gigs always on the cards, surely this should have been doable.

So, it begs the question, why can't they or won't they live within their means?

Prince Charles stopped taking Prince Harry's calls as the Duke of Sussex kept asking him for money.

Charles is not someone who likes confrontation so effectively, he just stopped taking his calls.

Prince Charles loves Harry, but there comes a time where you have to say enough is enough, and that was it.

It's worth noting that Harry told Oprah Winfrey in March 2021 that his family cut him off financially, and he had to afford security for them.

However, with an estimated $46 million in the bank, it seems that the Sussexes' money situation was not as dire as they made it out to be.

In conclusion, while the Sussexes may have had financial struggles, it seems that their lavish lifestyle and unwillingness to live within their means may have contributed to their financial woes.

With book deals, speaking gigs, and other opportunities available, it's hard to believe that they couldn't find a way to maintain their lifestyle without resorting to reality TV shows and begging for financial bailouts.

Regardless, their ties to Netflix and their ongoing financial struggles continue to make headlines.
