The British Royal Family may not see them as often in a few years.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle get caught in surprising tax drama that could affect future plans | Marca

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle don’t have a lot of fans in the United Kingdom at the moment. Their decision to give up royal duties was met with a lot of criticism, and that sentiment remains to this day among many people. Now living in the United States, they aren’t particularly liked in their new country either.

Eric Trump, the son of former U.S. President Donald Trump, recently gave an interview to Daily Mail and essentially said that no one in the country cares about them. Despite all of that, they have made a home in Montecito, California, where they have begun a new life for themselves and for their children, Archie and Lilibet.

Although Harry hasn’t traveled much back to the UK, he has done so on a couple of occasions. And with King Charles‘ health a factor, we could see him traveling more often over the next few years. But with new developments, that could end up costing him and the Royal Family a chunk of change.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle's Shocking Scandals

New APD rate will affect private flights more than commercial

Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, announced on Wednesday a new rate for “air passenger duty“, which is a tax on flights. Private flights will now be taxed by an additional 50 percent, which would be the equivalent of around $585 per passenger.

This will make flying private very costly. It probably won’t deter Harry and Meghan from flying back-and-forth from California to the United Kingdom, but they may think twice before making plans.

Commercial air travel will not be impacted, so this is purely a move to curtail private flights. Private jets are said to pollute up to 14 times more than commercial planes.
