What's Happening?
King Charles III reportedly declared he is 'not a bank' in response to financial demands from his son, Prince Harry, following the latter's decision to step back from senior royal duties. This revelation
comes from Robert Jobson's new book, 'The Windsor Legacy: A Royal Dynasty of Secrets, Scandal, and Survival.' The book details the period around 'Megxit,' when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chose to become financially independent and relocate to the United States. According to the book, the late Queen Elizabeth II redirected Harry's calls to King Charles after becoming weary of the drama surrounding the couple's departure. The book claims that Harry's demands for funds and his manner of communication with his father led to Charles's remark.
