Meghan Markle shamefully plans to turn her back on America and throw away her U.S. citizenship — with the urging and blessing of Britain’s royal family — all because of money! A highly placed source at the U.S. Internal Revenue Service told The National ENQUIRER that Prince Harry‘s bride, who’s worth an estimated $5 million, “is still an American citizen, so she has to pay tax in the U.S., and this could extend to anyone else she draws money from — including her husband.” That puts Harry’s $450,000 yearly allowance and reportedly additional $2 million from his dad Charles in the IRS’ crosshairs, along with any dough funneled to the couple from Harry’s grandma Queen Elizabeth, say sources. Read on for details of Meghan’s money minded maneuvers, and click here for more royal gossip….

“We’re looking at a level of financial exposure the royal family has never had to face before, and
they don’t like it one bit,” said the palace aide. “The last thing the queen and her relatives want is U.S. tax investigators snooping around their finances. They are notoriously thrifty — at least when it comes to their own money.“

The royals have been telling her how much money she’ll lose if she remains a U.S. national, pushing her to give up citizenship. “Coming from a struggling background, every buck counts to her," said the source. "Listening to her new relatives, Meghan’s eyes are lighting up with dollar signs.”

While the former "Deal or No Deal" model is now married to Harry and carries the title Duchess of Sussex, she’s still living in England on a visa, and that puts her tax situation in a jumble.

Even though she’ll likely spend most of her time in England, she’s still fair game for the IRS, which will want to know any amount over $100,000 she gets from her new family, said tax expert Alistair Bambridge of Bambridge Accountants, which has offices in New York and London.

“Perks she receives by joining the royal family such as the use of Nottingham Cottage, property in the grounds of Kensington Palace where she will live with Harry, need to be valued and declared," the tax expert explained, "unless she is paying rent herself."

Bambridge added that "future TV income, such as rerun fees, will all be taxed by the U.S. as long as she is a citizen.” Megan was reportedly raking in $450,000 a year from the hit legal drama "Suits" and endorsements. She will still be getting residuals from reruns.
