The opulence of the Royal families in Europe has always been a great curiosity of many people. The modern palaces and the life they lead have been under the microscope of almost everyone. The well known British Royal is amongst the most criticized and most followed royal houses.

Recently Prince Harry and Meghan purchased a new home in Sta. Barbara, California, which led to many people wondering how they were able to afford a house in such an exclusive neighborhood.

When Prince Harry and Meghan decided to step down from their royal post, many royal watchers wondered whether the couple could afford an opulent lifestyle.

Prince Harry and Meghan have one child together and last January of this year the couple announced their plans of leaving the United Kingdom. They jetted off to Canada for a few months, renting an exclusive and very expensive home before moving to LA in California.

Many tabloids reported that the couple is spending too much money and that the couple had no way of financing their lifestyle in the long run.

Despite all the critics, it is known that Prince Harry and Meghan have money of their own and is reported to be worth $30 million dollars together. Meghan Markle before marriage and joining the Royal family had a lucrative life as an actress and Prince Harry had many sources of income while being part of the Monarchy.

The Duchess of Sussex worked as an actress in the acclaimed show ‘Suits’. She played a paralegal in the show and was a regular cast. According to Know Net Worth, the Duchess was paid around £40,000 ($50,000) per episode towards the end of her work in the show. She appeared in over 100 episodes giving her an annual income of approximately £345,000 ($450,000).

Meghan also appeared on many popular television shows such as the famous 90210 TV series. She played a small part for a brief time and was paid handsomely. She appeared in films, Remember me and was paid £149,000 ($187,000), as well as The Candidate, which saw to her getting paid 6 figures.

Not only that, Meghan also ran a lifestyle blog called ‘The Tig’, which generated income through paid advertisements on the site.

Prince Harry on the other hand has multiple sources of income and is said to be worth over $25 million dollars. It is known that the Prince has an annual allowance from his father, Prince Charles. The Prince also had a salary from working in the military.

The late Princess Diana also set aside an inheritance for his sons that is worth over $10.1 million dollars, only accessible when they turned 30.
