Palace fiscal reports are being spread and going viral this morning after some controversy has ensued over when Prince Charles stopped funding his son, Prince Harry, and daughter-in-law, Meghan Markle, after they officially exited their roles as senior members of the royal family in March of 2020.
Now, both Prince Charles‘ Clarence House, and a spokesperson for the Sussexes, are speaking out to clarify the timelines. One major issue is that some believed Prince Harry‘s timeline that he revealed during the Oprah interview was different from what Prince Charles was claiming the accurate timeline of when the cutoff happened.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, during their Oprah interview said, “my family literally cut me off financially” in “the first quarter of 2020.” Prince Charles’ spokesperson said “funding ceased in the summer of last year.”
A Clarence House spokesperson told the BBC this week, “As we’ll all remember in January 2020 when the duke and duchess announced that they were going to move away from the working royal family, the duke said that they would work towards becoming financially independent. The Prince of Wales allocated a substantial sum to support them with this transition. That funding ceased in the summer of last year. The couple are now financially independent.”
When asked about Prince Charles‘ timeline vs. Prince Harry‘s timeline, the Clarence House spokesperson responded, “I wouldn’t acknowledge that they are dramatically different. All I can tell you are the facts.”
A spokesperson for the Sussexes revealed, “You are conflating two different timelines and it’s inaccurate to suggest that there’s a contradiction. The duke’s comments during the Oprah interview were in reference to the first quarter of the fiscal reporting period in the UK, which starts annually in April.”
Royal reporter Omid Scobie confirmed all this reporting, that the first quarter of the fiscal reporting in the UK started in April 2020 and ended June 2020.
If you missed it, a Sussex spokesperson also confirmed what they did a few weeks before their daughter’s birth.
Despite some confusing reports, Prince Charles and Prince Harry’s timelines for the period the Sussexes’ financial support ended are the same. Clarence House says funding continued until last summer (Q1 of the UK’s fiscal year is April to June) and Harry told Oprah the same. pic.twitter.com/uWRNdSVips
