A fundraiser has been set up to help pay off Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Californian mansion after their controversial Oprah Winfrey interview.
After their controversial bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, a fundraiser was set up to help the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, and Prince Harry pay off their mansion.
During the tell-all, Harry claimed that the royal family "literally cut me off financially".

The ‘Harry and Meghan $5 Donation to Buy Home’ fundraiser aimed to raise a staggering £7.1 million (R146-million) to help pay off their home.

However, the page has now been taken down, but it had raised at least £78.64 (R1,600).
“When they came to the USA they were without jobs and with limited funds. They've stated that they've had a very rough time, so this fundraiser is a way to give help, compassion, and love by paying their home loan in full. I personally relate to mental health, racial equality, diversity, and inclusivity. They both support these issues as well," Hanson told The Sun.
