Meghan Markle & Prince Harry Make Their First Appearance From Their New Santa Barbara House - Watch!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have paid back the $3.2 million (£2.4 million) of U.K. taxpayers' money that was spent on renovating their British residence Frogmore Cottage.

Meghan Markle, 39, and Prince Harry, 35, are no longer receiving money from the royal family, including Prince Charles, 71, after they snagged a major deal with Netflix, Newsweek reported. The news comes after the couple said they would “work to become financially independent” when they decided to step away from their royal duties in Jan.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry “are very driven to make a real difference in the world,” a source close to the former Suits star tells HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY, and this drive is behind their new multi-year deal with Netflix. The couple, per the insider,” sees storytelling as one major way” to implement that change, so that’s one of the reasons why they partnered with the streaming giant.

On Wednesday, it was announced that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have signed a production deal with Netflix -- a move long speculated over after they recused themselves from their royal duties. The deal will contain the production of documentaries and scripted content, as well as family-friendly material.

Ever since their move, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Montecito neighbors and paparazzi have not been getting along. When Meghan, 39, and Harry, 35, became the town’s newest residents in August, their presence unfortunately seemed to invite a legion of drones, photographers, helicopters, and tourists.

It doesn’t seem like Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are making a great first impression on the neighbors!

It might only be a matter of time before Princess Beatrice moves into Meghan Markle & Prince Harry’s Kensington home, a space on the palace grounds otherwise known as Nottingham Cottage. If she does, the 32-year-old newlywed wouldn’t be making the move alone: Her husband, 37-year-old Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, would be joining her—making this the next royal couple to live in “Nott Cott” since the Sussexes.

One royal expert has claimed Meghan and Prince Harry's baby Archie could be subject to a royal law surrounding his marriage, whether or not he decides to use his royal title.
