A recent report suggests that Prince Harry is “totally whipped” by Meghan Markle. According to a royal commentator, even King Charles has taken note of Harry’s dynamic with his wife. As a result, people are now asking—how much influence does Meghan really have over him?

Queen Elizabeth’s Early Support for Meghan Changed Over Time

Initially, Queen Elizabeth II welcomed Meghan warmly. Royal commentator Esther Krakue, in a discussion with biographer Phil Dampier, explained, “The Queen’s opinion of Meghan evolved, and it’s much like how the country’s opinion evolved.”

Moreover, Krakue added, “And much like the public, I think the Queen thought Meghan was a breath of fresh air. Very intelligent, very well-spoken, obviously from her acting background.” At first, the royal family embraced her. However, Krakue pointed out, “I think where things went wrong was clearly the cultural clash.”

Public and Media Once Praised Meghan

At first, people across the world saw similarities between Meghan and the late Princess Diana. Like Diana, Meghan seemed to connect with ordinary people. However, critics later argued that Meghan lacked Diana’s sincerity. Some even accused her of manipulation and said her marriage to Prince Harry had personal motives.

Meghan Reportedly Expected Prince Harry to Be a Billionaire

According to Krakue, Meghan believed she was “marrying a billionaire.” In reality, that wasn’t true. She explained, “So that might have been not appealing eventually. But also I just, I don’t think she fully understood or was even interested in what the role was supposed to become.”

Earlier, Firstpost reported that Meghan was obsessed with wealth. Soon after joining the royal family, she realized that Prince Harry didn’t have the fortune she expected.

Meghan Was 'Surprised and Disappointed'

Later, the Daily Mail revealed that Meghan felt “surprised and disappointed” to learn that Harry had “very little money.” Since then, the couple has been evicted from their UK residence. This added to public belief that Harry is no longer financially strong.

Additionally, royal author Tom Bower supported these claims. He told GB News that Meghan realized Harry’s limited finances shortly after their wedding. He said, “The fact that Harry doesn’t have much money, Meghan realised that soon after marriage.”
