A recent report suggests Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s UK return was funded by their billionaire friend, Ian Wace. Harry and Markle recently returned to the UK for an extended period after moving to California in 2020. Although they are not working royals again, the move has become one of the most discussed topics on the internet.
Report claims Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s billionaire friend funded their UK return
A source recently told Page Six that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle got help from their billionaire friend, Ian Wace, with their move to the UK. However, the British hedge fund billionaire is not funding their entire stay.
Wace and Prince Harry are known to share a close bond. In July, when Harry returned to the UK, reports said he and his family visited Wace’s private Scottish island.
The two have shared a long and close bond. Moreover, it was reported that Harry and Wace have bonded over shared trauma, as the former has dealt with the loss of his mother, Princess Diana, and the latter experienced loss after his first wife and two young kids’ deaths. Despite reports that Wace funded their major return to the country, neither the billionaire nor Harry has commented.
Wace reportedly has a net worth of $1.2 billion.
At the end of August, Harry and Meghan Markle, along with their kids, landed in Birmingham, according to previous reports, amid speculation about their return to the UK. According to the BBC, when they reached out to Harry and Markle’s spokespersons regarding the major move, they replied, “This is not something we would comment on.” It was also reported that the couple will enroll their kids, Archie and Lilibet, in schools in the UK.
Moreover, they have kept details about their new UK residence under wraps. However, reports suggest they are settling in the Cotswolds area.
