Bower, known for his critical assessments of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, suggested that the pair may be facing mounting financial pressures despite their high-profile media deals and business ventures.
According to Bower, the Sussexes' lifestyle in California comes with enormous expenses, including security costs, staff salaries, property maintenance, and public relations efforts. He argued that while the couple secured lucrative agreements with major entertainment companies after stepping back from royal duties, some of those partnerships have not delivered the long-term financial stability many expected.
The author claimed that Harry and Meghan are under increasing pressure to maintain their public profile and generate new sources of income. Bower suggested that the challenge of balancing commercial success with public expectations has become increasingly difficult, particularly as media attention surrounding the couple continues to fluctuate.
While Meghan Markle has not publicly responded to Bower's latest remarks, the claims have sparked widespread debate among royal watchers and commentators. Supporters of the Duchess argue that the couple remains financially independent and continues to pursue a range of successful projects, including media production, philanthropy, and brand partnerships.
