Meghan Markle reportedly faced fresh claims that her money worries created tension with Prince Harry. A new podcast with Mark Dolan discussion claimed the Duchess of Sussex wanted him to bring in more cash. The claim centered on their lifestyle, Montecito costs, and different attitudes toward work. It also framed Markle as the more business-minded partner, while Harry was described as less focused on earning.
Host claims Meghan Markle is more ‘entrepreneurial’ than Prince Harry
As per the “Daily Expresso” podcast uploaded on June 1, Mark Dolan discussed the couple’s finances with JJ Anisiobi. Dolan claimed Markle was worried about cash flow and said, “Megan’s had enough.” He added that “Harry’s got to pull his weight,” because she was active with Instagram, Archie and Lilibet updates, and her As Ever brand. The host also claimed Prince Harry saw charity work as enough. However, the former said, “being a global citizen, doesn’t pay the mortgage.”
The conversation then moved to the couple’s Montecito home. Dolan claimed the property carried a large annual mortgage and said the pair once expected speaking deals, Netflix money, and “Spare” income to continue. He said the “gravy train has come off the rails,” calling it a “gravy train wreck.” Meanwhile, Anisiobi asked why they did not downsize. Dolan answered that the issue was Meghan’s “massive ego.” He then said the Duchess was “the more entrepreneurial of the two,” and “the more financially proactive.”
Still, Dolan claimed the gap between Markle and Harry came from lifestyle expectations. He said she had “expensive taste” and wanted a house that sent a message about her place in Hollywood. The host also claimed Harry “is not entrepreneurial” and “doesn’t know how to make money.” He added that Harry would prefer “a dusty rural estate” with land, animals, and a quieter life. The podcast ended that section by suggesting their finances, public image, and home choices remained a major fault line.
