A divorce could come at a steep price for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, according to new insider claims. Although neither has indicated that a split is on the horizon, insiders allege the couple’s current financial commitments make the prospect of separating especially complicated. As per sources, the Sussexes may be worth far more as a joint brand than as individuals.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry cannot afford cost of a divorce, per source
For years, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have built a brand that extends far beyond their royal titles. From media deals to business ventures, the couple’s post-royal life has largely revolved around their shared public identity. Now, insiders are claiming that the same partnership may be too valuable to walk away from.
A RadarOnline source claimed the Sussexes are dealing with mounting financial pressures following changes to several high-profile business arrangements. The insider alleged that dividing assets, managing legal expenses, and restructuring their lives after a separation could create significant financial strain.
“Trying to dismantle all of that, plus paying out all the legal fees for a divorce, would likely bankrupt them,” the source suggested. The insider further claimed that now would be “the worst possible time” for the couple to split, given their current financial commitments.
Much of that concern is said to revolve around the lifestyle the couple has built in California. Markle and Harry purchased their Montecito home shortly after relocating to the United States in 2020. Their sprawling estate, security requirements, and day-to-day expenses are believed to come with substantial monthly costs. As such, royal commentator Hilary Fordwich noted that the couple has a “very high financial bar” to meet each month.
At the same time, reports have pointed to alleged differences in how the couple approaches their public image. One insider claimed Harry is uncomfortable with certain family moments being shared publicly. Meanwhile, Markle’s business ventures reportedly benefit from maintaining a strong social media presence. Those differing views, the source suggested, have occasionally created tension.
Despite the speculation, multiple insiders have insisted that a divorce is not currently on the table. In fact, one source previously claimed that Markle and Harry are “worth a whole lot more together than apart.”
