Harry expressed his concerns about it, speculating that his father might not want to cover Meghan's costs as a working royal since Charles didn't want her to steal his limelight.

To put things in perspective, Charles used his $28 million Duchy of Cornwall revenue in 2017 to cover the costs associated with the work of Prince William, Kate Middleton, and Harry.
