Whistleblowers Reveal 'Cash-For-Leaks' Affair Involving Royal Aide and Journalist

The revelation led to internal inquiries at Buckingham Palace and a financial sanction against Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Three former colleagues of journalist Dan Wootton were the anonymous whistleblowers who revealed payments by The Sun to the partner of a senior royal aide.
The whistleblowers feared a cover-up by publisher News UK and reached out to Scotland Yard, Buckingham Palace lawyers, and retired Guardian journalist Nick Davies.
The payments were made following the publication of two stories about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their son Archie in June and July 2019.
The insider information led to two internal inquiries at Buckingham Palace.
King Charles withdrew his £700,000 funding deal for son Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s transition to a life in Canada in retaliation for the naming of a top royal aide in legal papers alleging a cash-for-leaks arrangement with journalist Dan Wootton.
