Jobson and Tominey also discussed a moment that allegedly frustrated the monarch. During the Queen’s customary 5 p.m. tea, Harry is said to have phoned her asking for additional financial support.
“She took a call from Harry and then reportedly remarked, ‘more money’ while rolling her eyes,” Tominey shared.
“Yeah, I think that she got fed up,” Jobson agreed, adding that the palace had “spent a lot of money” helping the Sussexes over the years.
“I think the point was that they had supported Harry, and he was then saying later, ‘I never got any,’ well, he did. He got many, many, many thousands of pounds. More than we could probably know.”
Jobson added that the spending reached such a scale that King Charles III — then Prince Charles — eventually drew a line, reportedly telling the couple: “I’m not a bank anymore.”
Meghan’s Expectations and Early Shock
Elsewhere in the podcast, Jobson claimed that Meghan was initially “shocked” to discover Harry wasn’t “making as much money” as she expected from his position as a senior royal. He said she also envied the Prince and Princess of Wales’ home at Adelaide Cottage.
