How the British royal family makes money

This is what Harry and Meghan are giving up.


The British royal family is very rich, but not as rich as you might think. And that’s because of a centuries-old model for how they make their income — and taboos about earning a private income outside of their official duties.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are breaking free from the rules of how royals make money, which just might be a savvy financial decision.

[danielclarke]

the royal family is that rich friend who was given EVERYTHING, took it for granted, and still managed to "struggle" through life

[mishazubarev]

The grant is only 5%. They’re giving up close to nothing(for them) to be independent. Seems like a bargain to me
