Prince better have my money! Harry repays money used for UK home makeover
Prince Harry and Meghan
Markle have all but cut ties with the British monarchy since quitting their
roles as senior royals.
In solidifying their
independence, the prince has repaid 2.4 million pounds (US$3.2 million) in
taxpayers’ money that was used to spruce up their home in Windsor; before their
shock departure, that is.
Harry made a contribution
to the Sovereign Grant – the public funds that go to the royal family – which “fully
covered the necessary renovation costs of Frogmore Cottage”, said a spokesman
for the now US-based royals.
Frogmore is near Queen Elizabeth
II’s Windsor Castle and was intended to be Harry and Meghan’s home before their
move Stateside.
However, the couple will
still be staying at the “cottage” when in London but for a cost – that’s right,
they’ll be paying rent like the rest of us.
But don’t feel too bad for them, the pair just bought a home in posh Santa Barbara in California and signed a deal with Netflix last week. They’ll manage to survive, somehow.
