Does Prince Harry Still Get Money from the Royal Family?

The question of whether Prince Harry continues to receive financial support from the royal family has been asked repeatedly over the past few years. Since stepping back from official duties in 2020, the Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan Markle, have relocated to the United States, where they currently reside.

Financial Independence of the Sussexes

According to the official Sussex website, the couple no longer receive funds from the Sovereign Grant — the annual payment provided by the UK government to support the monarch's official duties. The statement, published in 2020, confirmed their full financial independence from royal funding following their decision to step back as senior members of the Royal Family.

“In 2020, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the choice to transition into a new working model. As they step back as senior members of the Royal Family and no longer receive funding through the Sovereign Grant, they will become members of the Royal Family with financial independence, which is something they look forward to.”

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex take great pride in their work and remain dedicated to their charitable efforts while establishing new projects. They also value the opportunity to earn a professional income, something their previous role did not allow.”

Conclusion

Prince Harry no longer receives financial support from the royal family and sustains himself and his family through independent ventures and private income.
