Meghan Markle's ‘money' remarks raise eyebrows over her view of Harry's wealth

Meghan Markle talked about women guilt on having money and her comments have sparked fresh debate over how she viewed royal life before marrying Prince Harry.

While speaking on her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, the Duchess of Sussex shed light on how many women feel guilt around wealth.

Her words have reminded some critics of claims that she was surprised to learn her husband Prince Harry wasn’t as rich as she had imagined.

Royal author Tom Quinn penned in his book that Meghan expected a billionaire lifestyle after exchanging vows with Harry.

However, the Duchess had to adjust when she found out Harry’s actual wealth, Quinn alleged in his book Yes Ma'am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants.

"Harry, it seemed, had spent little time explaining exactly how strange and demanding his family really are,” he wrote, per The Express.

Quinn added, "Meghan Markle had a typically American view of the Royal Family before she joined it — for her, life was all about castles, glittering balls and limitless wealth and ease.

"As one royal staff member put it, 'She expected a billionaire and she got a millionaire.'"

He further mentioned, "Above all the modern Royal Family is a celebrity family, albeit one with a strangely 18th-century lifestyle — the palaces and the carriages, the enormous wealth — all underpinned by hierarchies, tradition and vast teams of staff from every social class."
