Prince Harry, Meghan Markle lay off more employees to 'save money'

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have let more staff members go as they try to save cash.

According to Page Six, the number of staff members they have fired since coming to the U.S. in 2020 is now 25.

The most recent laying off targeted their two in-house reps. The couple have decided to hire a PR firm instead of their own staff, which will save them money.

“It’s the same old story – they cycle through staff as quickly as normal people cycle through toilet paper. Milk lasts longer than their employees,” a royal source told the outlet.

“In a financial sense, it’s cheaper to employ a PR firm, as opposed having to full-time staff,” said an industry expert.

Harry and Meghan’s yearly expenses include an annual security bill believed to be around $2 million as well as a huge yearly property tax of $288,000.

The couple bought a mansion in Montecito in 2020. The house, which cost t $14.65 million at the time, is now valued at $27 million. 

The couple reportedly paid $5 million deposit and took out a $9.5m mortgage to be paid back by 2050.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also have staff at their Archewell Foundation, production, and employees at their estate in Montecito, CA.
