Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding is going to be costing a pretty penny – more than $58 million to be exact – and given the royal family’s collective lack of formal employment, it has to be asked: Where does all of their money come from?
Are they growing a magical money tree we don’t know about?
And if yes, are they available to buy at IKEA?
According to CNN, the Queen is worth just $629 million, which is a lot, but it still isn’t JK Rowling rich – she’s worth $870 million by comparison.
Still, Rowling has Harry Potter, while we’re still trying to figure out what it is that the Queen, 92, and the rest of the royals actually do that makes them so goddamn rich.
Well, their money comes from quite a few places – mainly the British government and their own private estates.

We do not need these people ruling our country.
Which of the family are in real jobs? Beatrice and Eugenie spend more time on holidays than at work. Prince Edward receives an allowance from the Queen as any business he touched went bust and Prince Andrew was such a disaster as Trade Ambassador, he now skulks around (also with an allowance from the Queen) trying to stay out of trouble. Prince Harry should have stayed in the Army and made that his career, rather than focusing on his 'charity' work in between holidays.
