Insiders have described the Duke of Sussex as a “glorified house husband,” alleging he is “not really doing anything in America” amid growing questions about his career path and long-term role in California.
Harry, 41, stepped back from royal life in 2020 alongside his wife, Meghan Markle, 44, and their two children, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four.
The family later settled in a large Montecito mansion in California, Meghan’s home state.
Early financial wins, growing strain
The Sussexes initially secured a lucrative five-year deal with Netflix in 2020, followed by the release of Harry’s memoir Spare in 2023, which reportedly earned him around $27 million (about AUD$40 million).
However, sources now claim the couple has struggled to land similarly high-profile projects since then.
According to Page Six, their finances have been “slowly dwindling” following the downgrading of their Netflix deal, announced in August, combined with significant ongoing expenses.
