The Daily Mail reported, citing unnamed sources, that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are seeking a long-term home in Britain while retaining their Montecito property and Portuguese holiday home. The article argues that the prospective additional housing, alongside private security, staffing and legal costs, may put pressure on the couple’s finances. Its headline quotation about a billionaire paying their bills is presented as a source’s opinion, not evidence of a current arrangement or of financial distress.

The report also revisits estimates of the couple’s earnings from US media and commercial work, including their Netflix partnership, but neither the Sussexes nor Netflix has publicly disclosed a complete account of their income, assets, spending or the value of individual contracts. Separate reporting by the Associated Press said the family planned an extended UK stay at a private, non-royal residence while maintaining homes in California and Portugal. The financial conclusions in the Daily Mail article therefore remain unverified claims based largely on anonymous sources and reported estimates.
