King Charles III is worried about his son Prince Harry’s finances, according to a new book.
The monarch, 75, is reportedly concerned about what might happen once Harry, 39, spends the millions of dollars he earned from a slate of business deals that he and wife Meghan Markle did with companies like Netflix and Spotify.
The claim is just one of many salacious tidbits in royal reporter Robert Jobson’s upcoming biography about Kate Middleton, titled, “Catherine: The Princess of Wales.”

“The ‘Harry problem’, as it’s known among Palace staff, continues to plague the King,” Jobson alleges in an excerpt of his book published on Daily Mail.
“‘What worries His Majesty, and his top team,’ says a Palace official, ‘is what is going to happen when all the money runs out.’”

Jobson suggests that Harry and Meghan, aka the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are “trying to find an income stream […] that doesn’t involve dishing dirt on the Royal Family” because, in his view, “the public have wearied of their constant complaints.”
He also claims there is a “Sussex-shaped void in the Royal Family,” one which “has never loomed so large,” referring to the Royal Family’s loss of both star power and manpower that resulted from Harry and Meghan abdicating their roles as senior working royals.
Despite that “void,” Jobson writes that Prince William is “adamant” about refusing to help the Sussexes in the future.

However, King Charles is a different story. “[H]e’s let it be known that he’ll never shut the door on his second child, though there seems little chance of a meaningful reconciliation for now,” the veteran royal reporter claims.
King Charles last saw Prince Harry when the latter flew to the UK in February after learning of his father’s cancer diagnosis. The pair were said to have only met briefly.

To the surprise of many, Harry did not see his father when he visited London in May to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, citing the King’s busy schedule.
“In response to the many inquiries and continued speculation on whether or not the duke will meet with his father while in the UK this week, it unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full program,” a spokesperson for Harry told The Post at the time.

Charles and Harry have been at odds about finances for years. In the Sussexes’ bombshell 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Harry said that his father “literally cut me off financially.”
The prince claimed the lack of funds and the high cost of security, which he said he needed to protect his family, motivated him and Meghan to sign production deals with Netflix and Spotify that were reportedly worth $100 million and $20 million, respectively.
