Charles Is Encroaching on Harry’s Last Source of Income After Meghan Revealed Her ‘Fear’ of Being Broke
It seems like every day there’s a new chapter in the ongoing feud between Prince Harry and the rest of his family. News of King Charles’ illness and the fact that Prince William doesn’t seem at all inclined to reconcile with his brother have taken most of the spotlight, but every new development seems to throw doubt into the possibility of a quick reconciliation.
The latest comes from Netflix itself. The streamer, who famously made a show about the British Royal family, which didn’t exactly paint the now King Charles in the best of light, seems like an odd partner for the King of England. But that’s exactly what’s happening, as King Charles is collaborating with actor Idris Elba on a documentary about The King’s Trust, a charity Charles founded in 1976 to establish grants and initiatives for economically and socially vulnerable populations.

Elba was a recipient of one of those grants as a teenager. The actor’s The Elba Hope Foundation announced a joint effort with The King’s Trust last year, with the documentary seemingly an expansion of the relationship set to celebrate the organization’s 50th anniversary.
“The King’s Trust gave me an opportunity that changed my life,” Elba said in a statement. “At a time when I didn’t have the resources to pursue my ambitions, they offered real, practical support—including financial help—that helped me take those first steps to advance my career.”
Meanwhile, as for King Charles, a Buckingham Palace aide said in a statement that, “The King is pleased for The Trust to have this wonderful opportunity to showcase their work to a global audience.”
The news means King Charles will be joining his son, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle on the Netflix roster. The two have a deal with the streaming giant, which has seen the streamer air both a documentary about the two and a lifestyle show featuring Meghan Markle titled With Love, Meghan.
News of the documentary involving King Charles comes as Markle got candid about money while speaking to billionaire Spanx founder Sara Blakely on an episode of the podcast “Confessions of a Female Founder,” speaking about her “fear” of not having enough money and confessing she would love to have a healthier mindset about it.
“So many women, especially, we’re taught to not even talk about money,” Markle said. “And there’s lots of guilt mentality surrounding having a lot.”
Markle also talked about how it’s all too “easy” to believe financial security is out of reach, “And at the same time, there’s a scarcity mindset that it’s easy to attach to, of like ‘I’ll never have enough.” Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s net worth is reportedly somewhere around $60 million. And their Netflix deal is set to bring more income for the two for years to come, even if the streaming giant will also now feature a documentary starring King Charles. Netflix, it seems, doesn’t really care about family feuds. All content is good content.
