Meghan Markle has increasingly had to take on the role of the family’s main provider—against the backdrop of Prince Harry’s period of uncertainty, as he still struggles to understand where to take his career next in the United States.
One recent documentary project discusses why Harry shows much more enthusiasm for charity initiatives than for major Hollywood offers that could bring in substantial income.
TV host Jane Moore noted that after moving to America, the couple faced serious financial challenges. According to her, it has become clear that they assumed expenses that don’t align with the stability of their income. Harry, as a captain in the Royal Marines, used to earn around £52,000 a year, but their luxurious California home requires enormous investment—the mortgage alone costs hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. And now it is Meghan who has to earn the amounts needed to sustain their high standard of living.
An additional burden comes from the cost of security for the couple and their children—expenses reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.
Meanwhile, Meghan is actively looking for new earning opportunities. According to people close to the family, she is seriously considering returning to acting. For her, this isn’t just a step backward, but a chance to return to something she loves and to regain financial independence.
Her first major project after an eight-year break is a film called *Close Friends*, where Meghan will play herself. The movie will also feature Lily Collins, Brie Larson, Jack Quaid, and British actor Henry Golding.
