Prince Harry was furious at King Charles III after he decided to exclude Meghan Markle from the royal family payroll, RadarOnline.com has learned.

The decision was made soon after the Duke of Sussex revealed his plans to marry the American actress. In royal correspondent Robert Jobson’s new book Our King, he described an interaction between the Duke, his brother Prince William and their father.

“Are you sure, Harold?” the Prince of Wales asked his brother about him.

When the Duke made it clear he was “absolutely sure,” the future king chimed in and said that he couldn’t afford to pay her as a member of the royal family. In an excerpt from the author’s book, the at-the-time heir to the throne told his son that he was already bankrolling his wife Camilla and William’s growing family.

Queen Elizabeth also soured on the couple’s antics after their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey. They heavily criticized the monarchy and accused the family of not accepting Meghan due to her race.

According to Jobson’s book, the late Queen described the Sussexes’ behavior as “quite mad.” She allegedly believed that her grandson of her was “so consumed” by his love of him for his wife of him that it was “clouding his judgment of him.”
