The biographer also warned that the Sussexes’ financial situation may leave them tempted to repeat past actions — such as their Netflix series, the Oprah interview, or Harry’s memoir Spare — which brought heavy backlash from the Royal Family. Bower explained: “The Sussexes are on borrowed time. Meghan isn’t making any serious money, nor is Harry. The real threat is they might do something foolish and damaging to the Royal Family.”
If that happens, Bower believes William will not hesitate to act decisively. He claims that the future King will take “ruthless” action if Harry and Meghan cross the line again — even if that means further stripping their royal roles or privileges.
For now, while Harry may have his father’s understanding, Prince William has sent a clear message: There will be no leniency if the Sussexes repeat past mistakes.
