The news of the tax refund came in the wake of confirmation that the couple signed a multi-million dollar contract with Netflix (the result of which is the couple's documentary, as well as Meghan's recent lifestyle show, Love, Meghan, which has received mixed reviews), and reports that they are no longer receiving funding from King Charles III, as they were when they first left the UK. When news broke that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were stepping back from royal duties, moving to North America and focusing on commercial ventures instead of receiving public funds, there was some controversy around the cost of renovations to the British public.
