\"Meghan<\/a><\/p>\n

This week, the financial matters surrounding Meghan Markle<\/a> came under the microscope on social media and focused on the widely circulated but unconfirmed story that Meghan had brought $5 million into her marriage to Prince Harry. Read on to find out more.<\/p>\n

Five Million Dollars? <\/p>\n

Neil Sean, a royal commentator, discussed the alleged financial issues surrounding Meghan Markle in his By Royal Appointment<\/a> vlog on Wednesday this week. He suggested that the alleged $5 million that she brought into her marriage with Prince Harry<\/a> was a deliberate attempt to manage public perception.<\/p>\n

The expert on the Royal Family opined that the claim was a myth and that Meghan\u2019s financial situation was much less secure than it appeared, both before and during her time as a royal.<\/p>\n

Megan\u2019s Missing Millions <\/p>\n

Sean questioned the source of the rumored $5 million, comparing it to other unverified wealth stories. He believed that Meghan did not have a significant fortune from her acting career. According to Sean, the residuals from her role on Suits<\/a> were not substantial, and she was \u201cdesperate for money\u201d by the time she landed the part.<\/p>\n

In fact, he felt that many actresses in their mid-thirties often struggled to find new roles in Hollywood. Next, he pointed out that her first husband, Trevor Engelson, reportedly funded much of her lifestyle and networking.<\/p>\n

Not A Gold Digger? <\/p>\n

Allegedly, Meghan Markle was keen not to be viewed as \u201ca gold digger.\u201d Therefore, that explains why there\u2019s a possibility that her wealth was a crafted narrative.<\/p>\n

Referring to those palace staff no longer tied to NDAs, Sean said that they reportedly recalled Meghan claiming to have no money or having issues with her credit card.<\/p>\n

Obviously, if it\u2019s true, then it appeared to be a direct contradiction of the financially independent woman that she had projected. And, in his opinion, Harry probably swallowed the story as well.<\/p>\n

Struggles In The Monarchy\u00a0 <\/p>\n

During her time in the monarchy, Sean claimed Meghan struggled with the royal way of life, particularly regarding finances and perks. She reportedly found it difficult to accept that designer clothes loaned to her had to be returned, a protocol followed even by \u201cPrincess Catherine.\u201d Sean also referenced King Charles\u2019s<\/a> famous claim that he \u201ccould not afford to keep Harry\u2019s wife.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since leaving the monarchy, Sean noted that the couple\u2019s income was highly scrutinized. While they received large sums from deals with \u201cNetflix and Spotify,\u201d he argued that the reported figures were often \u201chighly speculative from the media\u2019s point of view.\u201d<\/p>\n

He suggested that Harry, who had no business experience, \u201cis quite happy to capitulate and let her take control of the finances.\u201d However, Sean believed their expensive lifestyle, coupled with business ventures that had failed to generate massive revenue, had put them in a precarious position.<\/p>\n

No Money From The Beginning? <\/p>\n

Sean wrapped up his vlog by suggesting that there wasn\u2019t any cash in the first place. So now, that leaves Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in a difficult position. They need to try everything they can think of to find \u201cfresh material\u201d and new ventures to sustain their lifestyle.<\/p>\n

As far as he\u2019s concerned, it\u2019s an \u201cunenviable\u201d job for their PR\/agency folks as they now have to make Meghan \u201csellable\u201d as her projects continue to underperform. The direction they\u2019ve taken seems to be focused on past events, which audiences are beginning to find boring and tiresome.<\/p>\n

Fans React In The Comments <\/p>\n

Neil Sean\u2019s fans took to the comments section of vlog. One of them opined, \u201calmost no one in America watched Suits or knew who she was until she snagged Harry.\u201d<\/p>\n
