Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's independent lifestyle is facing increased scrutiny as the Royal Family prepares for a summer examination of its financial assets, sources have confirmed. The review, expected to commence in the coming months, will reportedly assess the financial arrangements of various royal entities, including those associated with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

While details remain limited, the examination is understood to be a broad assessment of the Royal Family's finances, aimed at ensuring transparency and efficiency. The scope of the review’s impact on Harry and Meghan, who stepped down as senior working royals in 2020, is currently unclear. Their financial arrangements since leaving royal duties have been a subject of public and media interest.

The couple currently receives income from various sources, including commercial deals and investments. Their decision to pursue financial independence was a key element in their departure from royal duties, but it has also drawn criticism from some quarters concerned about the potential impact on the monarchy’s image and public perception. The timing of this review, following recent discussions about the cost of maintaining the Royal Family, adds further weight to the situation.

The summer examination is being viewed as an opportunity to streamline operations and ensure the Royal Family remains financially sustainable in the long term. It's anticipated that the findings of the review will be presented to King Charles III and potentially made public, depending on the sensitivity of the information involved. The review's specific focus on assets related to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex suggests a heightened level of interest in their financial activities following their departure from the Royal Family.
