My Family Cut Me Off Financially Last Year – Prince Harry

Prince Harry has revealed that the British royal family cut him off after he and his wife, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, announced that they would be stepping back from official royal duties.

He made this known during an explosive interview the couple had with Oprah Winfrey.

According to the royal born, he and Meghan’s recent deals with Netflix and Spotify were “never part of the plan” when they split from the family, CNN reports.

However, it happened after they were cut off from the family financially in the first quarter of 2020.

Harry said they initially relied on what his mother, Princess Diana had left for him.

“I’ve got all my mum left me. And without that, we would not have been able to do this,” he said. “She saw it coming and I certainly felt her presence throughout this whole process.”

Also speaking on her experience since joining the royal family, Meghan told Oprah Winfrey that she had left everything to join the royal family, and just wanted to make them proud — even though she received little to no guidance or instruction.

“I left my career, my life, I left everything because I love him,” she said.

“Our plan was to do this forever — I wrote letters to his family saying I am dedicated to this, I am here for you, use me as you’d like.”

But “there was no guidance,” she said.

“There were certain things you couldn’t do, but (unlike the movies) there was no class on how to speak, how to cross your legs, how to be royal.”

She didn’t even know the British national anthem, and nobody in the royal institution thought to teach or show it to her, she said.

“That was me Googling late at night … we were doing the training behind the scenes because I wanted to make them proud.”
