Prince Harry and Meghan Markle considered ‘the poor of Hollywood’

The dukes can count on a millionaire nest egg and yet according to the legendary English journalist Tina Brown their assets are negligible compared to the fortunes of their Californian neighbors.

It made me feel very bad to remember these things» tells Meghan Markle a The Cut.
