How it started
What happened
Prince Harry taught an online masterclass on grief, Redefining Grief: Building Resilience Through Loss, through the platform MasterClass. According to reports, he was paid by MasterClass an upfront payment of at least $100,000 (£75,500), in addition to 30% of subscription revenue generated by the course. Separately, a letter sent on behalf of King Charles clarified that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle remain private citizens and will not carry out official royal duties while in Britain.
