Thursday 30 June 2022 02:03 AM 'Financially independent' Prince Harry paid for Easter visit to England with ... trends now
Harry and Meghan are now 'financially independent' and paid for their own flights when they visited England at Easter.
Royal officials also said the couple's decision to repay £2.4million on their Frogmore Cottage home in Windsor was a 'good deal' for taxpayers.
A royal source said of the Sussexes' financial independence: 'Great credit to them… that has now been achieved.'
The accounts show the sum they paid to cover refurbishment of their former marital home – which they have used as a family only once since relocating to the US – includes undisclosed future rental costs.
The couple are also funding the general upkeep of their former home, like maintaining the garden, with the taxpayer-funded Sovereign Grant effectively acting as the ‘landlord’, undertaking more major works, such as anything needing doing to the outside of the house.

Frogmore, a Grade-II listed property which is owned by the Crown Estate, was a gift from Harry’s grandmother, the Queen.
The senior royal source said the rent had been calculated independently and based on market values.
‘I can be confident in saying that this is a good deal for the Sovereign Grant and the taxpayer alike,’ they added.
