Prince Harry and Meghan Markle told to repay £2.4 million owed to taxpayer for renovations on windsor home.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been told to pay back £2.4 million owed to taxpayer for the renovations that they did on their Windsor House after successfully signing a multi-millionaire deal with Netflix. 

The royal couple have recently signed a huge deal with Netflix that is said to "give hope with films and shows" and build resilience. 

The multi-year production contract with the streaming giant estimates their networth to $50 to $100 million dollars. 

The couples owe at least £2.4 million for extensive renovations on Frogmore cottage which they abandoned to live in £14.7 million worth California mansion. 

Prince Harry, 35 and Meghan Markle, 39, pledged to pay back £18,000 a month which will take them 11 year to clear.

The former LIB Dem MP Norman Baker said that the rich couple should pay for security of Frogmore and their own travel cost, which are currently covered by due to their HRH status. 

According to him, 

He said, 

“They should pay the taxpayer back immediately for Frogmore renovation rather than wait eleven years.

“They can both definitely afford it, they should either pay it when the Netflix money arrives or give up the cottage.

“Even the monthly amount they have set is willfully inadequate, I don't mind them having this deal with Netflix, good luck to them”.

“But if they are going to do that then they have to make sure they are not benefiting from their royal status”.

Mr Baker, who is the privy Council and author of 'And what do you do?What the royal family don't want you to know. Said, 

“They still have HRH status that means that the taxpayer is still paying for security guards walking around Frogmore and free travel back to the UK. 

“Of course they should pay back Frogmore straight away-and also give up their HRH status. 

“I don't mind them getting a deal as former HRHs but it surely goes against the term of them stepping down if they get this deal using their HRH.

“The HRH title is a passport to state support, There needs to be clean break”.

The £2.4 million bill only includes the cost from 2018/19 and does not include any work before they left for North America.
