Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s multimillion-dollar free ride revealed

The ex-royals are now out on their own – but it’s alleged they’re doing so with the aid of freebies running into millions of dollars.

It’s no secret that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have a social circle that’s well off, but the sensational royal biography Finding Freedomalleges the famous couple has potentially received millions of dollars in gifts.

Written by American-based royal reporters Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie, the book says the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reportedly received more than $6.2 million from family, friends and companies that have offered products and services.

Largely, the royal couple’s alleged freebies were across temporary and long-term real estate, travel and milestone life events like their wedding and baby shower, according to the two authors.

Shortly after their wedding, Frogmore Cottage was reportedly given to Prince Harry and Meghan as “gift from the Queen”. The exact value of the royal estate is not available to the public but it was refurbished in 2019 for around $4.3 million in taxpayer money, which the couple promised to pay back in January when they first announced their desire to be financially independent.

When the couple left the UK for Canada in November, they stayed in the $19.5 million oceanfront Mille Fleurs mansion in Vancouver, remaining there until March. The accommodation was reportedly secured by Meghan’s best friend’s husband, Ben Mulroney, who was able to arrange an agreement between the royal couple and the owner for a monthly rent that was “well below market value”.

Then before borders closed amid the coronavirus lockdown, the Sussexes moved to California, staying in Tyler Perry’s $25 million Beverly Hills mansion before they made their move to Santa Barbara. The couple reportedly stayed at the eight-bedroom home for free.

When the royal couple is not living in luxury accommodations, they tend to travel around the world via private jets owned by their famous friends, the biography says. Meghan’s former best friend Jessica Mulroney, as well as George and Amal Clooney, and Elton John have allegedly secured the couple trips on private aircraft between 2016 to 2019, which cost tens of thousands of dollars each.

Their upscale means of travel came under fire last year when the then active Duke and Duchess launched their environmentally conscious initiative, Travalyst, under their Sussex Royal brand. The organisation encouraged “the adoption of sustainable practices worldwide; and to balance this growth with the needs of the environment and the local population,” according to a statement on the Travalyst website.

Fox News did not immediately receive a response from the PR firm hired to represent Travalyst.

Other notable lifestyle gifts that may or may have not been fully comped for the couple include the $240 Diptyque Baies diffusers that were provided for their wedding ceremony in St George’s Chapel as well as the $550,000 baby shower that was thrown by Clooney and Serena Williams.

In terms of where the royal family stands on outsiders giving members gifts, there is a clear policy that was last updated in 2002.

“The fundamental principle governing the acceptance of gifts by members of the royal family is that no gifts, including hospitality or services, should be accepted which would, or might appear to, place the member of the royal family under any obligation to the donor,” the gift policy reads. “In this regard, before accepting any gift, careful consideration should always be given, wherever practicable, to the donor, the reason for and occasion of the gift and the nature of the gift itself.”
