Harry and Meghan face financial strain after Netflix and Spotify deals end
As Ever has denied bankruptcy reports, calling the claims false and based on speculation
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly facing serious financial strain in Montecito, with a source claiming the Duchess is in "panic mode" as income dries up following the end of their high-value deals with Netflix and Spotify.
'Financial reality has finally hit home'
A source quoted by Daily Express described a tense atmosphere at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's California home. "The atmosphere in Montecito is strained right now. The financial reality has finally hit home and Meghan is in panic mode," the source said.
The same source raised concerns about the couple's financial position beyond their headline net worth figure. "The fact of the matter is, they need to generate as much income as they can to fund their current lifestyle, and the money isn't coming in as it did before. While they look like millionaires on paper with that $60 million net worth, their actual liquid cash appears to be dwindling," the source added.
As Ever issues firm denial
Meghan's lifestyle brand As Ever responded directly to the bankruptcy speculation with a categorical rebuttal issued to Daily Express. "Recent claims suggesting that As Ever is facing financial difficulties or bankruptcy are entirely false and based on speculation rather than fact. As Ever continues to grow as an independent business, supported by a strong customer community and an exciting pipeline of future products," a spokesperson said.
The spokesperson continued: "As with any growing brand, we make decisions based on long-term planning and customer demand, not tabloid conjecture. The continued appetite for As Ever products speaks for itself, and we remain focused on what matters most: delivering quality products and building a brand that our customers love."
