Prince Charles has reportedly cut off Prince Harry due to his frustration with his son's continuous pleas for financial support after stepping down as a senior royal and relocating to the United States.
According to a source close to the royal family, this decision comes as a result of Prince Harry's persistent calls for more money.
The recent explosive interview of Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, with Oprah Winfrey continues to spark conversations among royal enthusiasts.
The couple shed light on their experiences within the royal family and the treatment they claimed to have endured.
One particular revelation that caught people's attention was Prince Harry's statement about his father, Prince Charles, refusing to take his calls and cutting him off financially.
New reports now suggest that this was a consequence of Prince Harry repeatedly seeking financial assistance from his father to sustain his and Meghan's lifestyle.
Here is the latest update on this matter.
During the interview, Prince Harry revealed that his father had stopped answering his calls and providing financial support.
Initially, after the Sussexes announced their decision to step back from their royal duties, it was reported that Prince Charles would assist them financially during their transition to becoming self-sufficient.
In his conversation with Oprah, Prince Harry expressed his desire for enough money to ensure the security and safety of his family.
He explained that he was abruptly cut off from receiving financial support in the first quarter of 2020.
Following the interview, rumors circulated about Prince Charles being upset by the claims made by his son.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl wrote in Vanity Fair that Prince Harry had sent emails to his father justifying their decision to participate in the interview.
A royal insider disclosed to The Telegraph that Prince Charles indeed reached a point of frustration due to Prince Harry's constant requests for additional funds to support his and Meghan's lifestyle.
The source stated that like any parent, Prince Charles became fed up with the continuous appeals for money from his son.
While he made efforts to provide financial support, when Prince Harry and Meghan announced their departure, they requested even more.
The source further expressed that Prince Charles may have been less inclined to take calls because he did not want to be treated solely as a source of money.
They suggested that his actions were driven by a desire to avoid being viewed as a mere cash dispenser.
Following the interview, Prince Charles was approached by the media for his response to the allegations made by his son and daughter-in-law.
However, he chose not to comment and walked away.
In addition to revealing the strained relationship with his father, Prince Harry also mentioned during the interview that he had to finance his family's security using the inheritance left by his mother, Princess Diana.
The exact amount inherited by Prince Harry was approximately $14 million, which he received alongside his brother, Prince William.
Before stepping back from their royal roles, Prince Harry had an estimated net worth of around $40 million, while Meghan's net worth was approximately $5 million.
After securing lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify in September, Celebrity Net Worth estimated their current individual net worth to be $50 million each.
