Prince Harry, Meghan Markle 'Don't Like To Spend Their Own Money'; Often Get Free Stuff: Report
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may be millionaires, but they allegedly don't like taking out money from their own pockets.
Citing multiple unnamed sources, Page Six reported Thursday that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex don't like to spend their own cash, especially now that they can accept free stuff -- something they were not allowed to do while serving as working royals.
"They certainly don't like to spend their own money," claimed one source, while a different source added, "It's always other people's money."
The two allegedly tend to fly on private jets paid for by someone else, per the outlet. Most recently, they reportedly got another free private jet ride to Vancouver, Canada, for a three-day trip. Prince Harry and Meghan spent Valentine's Day on the slopes to launch the 2025 Invictus Games.
Last November, the Sussexes flew to Vegas for Katy Perry's concert on board the plane of Michael Herd, a Texan oil heir.
Two months later, they traveled on the private jet of Paramount CEO Brian Robbins for the premiere of Bob Marley's biopic, "One Love," in Jamaica.
Aside from flying private for free, the royal couple also allegedly uses their rich friends' homes often. Whenever they are in Los Angeles for work and meetings, they would stay at Victoria Jackson's home.
In 2020, when they moved to the U.S. after quitting their royal duties, they stayed at Hollywood mogul Tyler Perry's estate even before meeting him.
The Duchess of Sussex previously became the topic of news reports and articles when Tina Brown released her book "The Palace Papers: Inside The House Of Windsor - The Truth And The Turmoil" in 2022.
The author claimed that Markle was "hungry for luxury freebies even after joining the Royal Family," per The Sun.
In the book, Brown explained that before meeting Prince Harry, the "Suits" actress used her then-blog, The Tig, to get luxury freebies.
Brown also claimed that even after marrying into the royal family in 2018, Meghan allegedly tried to receive free stuff from luxury brands.
The author also described her as someone who "won a reputation among the marketers of luxury brands of being warmly interested in receiving bags of designer swag."
