Rogue royals Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are going broke, sources tell Globe, and apparently they’re in deep with former bestie Tyler Perry — they can’t pay back a secret $14 million loan he extended them!

The billionaire Madea star, who let the Duke and Duchess of Sussex crash at his $18 million Beverly Hills mansion and dispatched his security team to protect them when they moved to Montecito, is allegedly furious the money-challenged royals are “ghosting him.”
“He’s saying he’s finished, he’s done, he’s done everything in his power to help them,” an insider tells Globe. “The problem is, they would not call him back.” A Perry insider denies there’s any dispute with the couple.
Tyler was recently asked by the U.K. Sunday Times to describe how he helped Harry and Meghan settle in America after the couple ditched their palace duties in 2020 to seek Hollywood fame and fortune, per Daily Mail. “I didn’t,” the beloved 56-year-old producer-writer-director insisted. “Meghan is from California. She knows California well. So, there was nothing to prepare them for.”

Various reports suggest Harry, 41, and his domineering wife, 44, are struggling to maintain their high-society lifestyle since all their financial projects have been abysmal failures.
“They had such big plans for 2025 and really believed it would be their breakthrough period. Instead it turned into the year from hell,” says a Hollywood source.
Former A-list pals in America and Harry’s hoity-toity friends in England have jettisoned the prickly pair, finding their self-obsessed and delusional tendencies too much to bear, insiders say.
Netflix
The try-hard duchess suffered global ridicule after her self-indulgent Netflix cooking show, With Love, Meghan, bombed. With just 2 million views, it ranked 1,224th among programs on the streamer between July and December.
What’s more, Meghan is desperately pitching shows tied to Valentine’s Day and the Fourth of July to Netflix bosses, but reportedly nothing has materialized.
Meghan’s As Ever lifestyle brand also appears to be tanking after her website briefly displayed inventory totals showing nearly a half million jars of jam, honey, candles, tin flowers and bottles of wine were unsold and collecting dust in stock rooms, according to published reports. One source contended the company is stocking up for global expansion.
While a royal rep calls claims the couple is having financial difficulties “categorically untrue,” and even though Harry scored a $27 million payday from his 2023 memoir, Spare, the cost of their high-flying lifestyle is devouring their cash, insiders say. “They’re under a huge amount of pressure,” says a source, as they pay off a multimillion-dollar mortgage and incur security costs to the tune of $3 million a year.
They are also reeling from a brutal staff revolt that’s seen nearly 25 employees walk away, while their vaunted charity, Archewell Philanthropies, is reportedly under the microscope due to alleged financial discrepancies and ballooning expenses.

Desperate Harry is begging his father, King Charles, for financial help, says the source.
“Harry would return to the U.K. in a heartbeat,” says the source, adding life in California hasn’t panned out the way the prince had hoped. “It’s been a nightmare.”
