Thinking of marrying a billionaire, Meghan Markle was shocked when she found out the truth about Prince Harry
Entering the royal family with a lavish dream, Meghan is disillusioned by an unbelievable thing.
Once a famous actress in Hollywood, Meghan Markle entered royal life with many expectations but also many surprises. In recent revelations from the book Yes, Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants by author Tom Quinn, a detail that caught the attention was Meghan’s “severe shock” reaction when she discovered that her husband Prince Harry was not the owner of a huge fortune as she once thought.
According to a former royal official quoted in the book, Meghan once thought that Prince Harry, Prince William’s younger brother, the heir to the throne, must be a billionaire. “She expects to get a billionaire, who would have thought that she was just a millionaire,” this source said. In fact, Prince Harry’s personal fortune at that time was estimated to be only about 20 million pounds (nearly 600 billion VND), causing Princess Meghan to “reconsider many other assumptions about the strange family” she was about to enter.
Not only surprised by money, Meghan was also “disappointed” when she saw Prince Harry’s first residence. The Nottingham Cottage house located on the grounds of Kensington Palace is much smaller than what she imagined of royal life.
In the documentary Harry & Meghan released on Netflix in 2022, Prince Harry shared: “Everyone thinks we live in the palace, but the reality is… a small house”.
Meghan did not hesitate to describe this place in two blunt words: “Too small”. She added: “The name ‘Kensington Palace’ sounds very royal because it has the word ‘palace’ in it. But Nottingham Cottage is small.”
In his memoir Spare, released in 2023, Prince Harry also admitted that he felt “embarrassed” when he took Meghan back to that house for the first time.
Although the start of royal life was not as dreamy, the couple quickly moved to Frogmore Cottage – a wedding gift from the late Queen Elizabeth II. Harry once said that he “loved that house very much”, where the two felt closer and warmer.
Now, after leaving the royal family and building their own lives in the United States, Prince Harry and Meghan are enjoying a much larger living space. The couple currently owns a luxurious villa in Montecito, California – which is likened to a paradise for the super-rich and famous.
Despite the initial surprises, their seven-year marriage journey is still a testament to a love that transcends stereotypes, overcoming even seemingly irreconcilable differences between Hollywood and the British royal family.
