Meghan & Harry's Australia Trip Angers Royals

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's recent tour of Australia has reportedly caused significant friction within the royal family. Sources close to Buckingham Palace expressed anger, labeling the couple's actions "pretty outrageous" and criticizing the use of "royal-tour choreography" for commercial purposes. This approach, aimed at generating publicity for their business ventures, was seen as contrary to the public service ethos of working royals.

Financial experts estimate the tour could have generated $10 million or more for the Sussexes through audience aggregation and brand leverage. Meghan is reportedly delighted with these financial results, finding success and hitting goals to be highly motivating. This cash infusion is a significant win for her, and she feels proud of the achievement.

In contrast, Prince Harry is reportedly uncomfortable with the constant discussion of money earned during the tour. He was reportedly raised to avoid discussing finances openly, and Meghan's frequent mentions of financial figures are said to rub him the wrong way. This divergence in their reactions to the tour's outcome has created additional strain between the couple.
