Let's be real here—Meghan Markle isn't exactly one to pinch pennies. Since her whirlwind romance and engagement to Prince Harry back in November, the financial burden of maintaining her designer wardrobe has been nothing short of astronomical. Prince Charles, who financially supports both his kids and their spouses, has reportedly shelled out a staggering $1 million—just for Meghan's fashion choices alone. Now, compare that to Kate Middleton, who often rocks affordable brands like Zara, and you can see why eyebrows are raising. According to a source in Life & Style magazine, Meghan's "expensive taste" is testing the royal budget limits like never before.
Take a look at June alone: Meghan stepped out in an eye-popping $18,000 Givenchy cape dress for her first solo appearance with Queen Elizabeth. She didn’t stop there, though. She also picked up a $4,000 Carolina Herrera off-the-shoulder top and skirt for the Trooping the Colour ceremony, and made a splash in a $6,000 Oscar de la Renta printed maxi dress at Princess Diana’s niece’s wedding. “Since she moved to London, Meghan's been spending money like it's going out of style,” the source revealed.

Meghan's Pricey Taste: A Royal Headache
Now, here's the kicker: Prince Charles, who's footing the bill, is far from thrilled about Meghan's spending habits. “He’s extremely unhappy about the fortune he’s having to spend on Meghan’s upkeep,” the source quipped. In fact, it’s rumored that Meghan's rags-to-riches journey has already racked up a $2.5 million tab since joining the royal family. That’s a lot of cash, even for a prince.
The Royal Wallet: A Growing Concern
Prince Charles, now 69, reportedly feels like a "walking ATM machine" and is growing increasingly annoyed. “He's planning to sit Meghan and Harry down for a stern talking-to,” the insider added. While this might seem like a harsh move, it's clear that Charles wants to ensure the royal finances are handled responsibly. Meghan, it seems, might need to take a page from Kate’s book and start borrowing a few outfits.
