They were under big pressure to repay it....
Confirmation of the £2.4m payment comes after significant pressure following news of their Netflix deal.
Speaking this weekend, Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, deputy chair of parliament's public accounts committee, told the Telegraph: "Clearly anyone who has borrowed taxpayers' cash needs to pay it back as quickly as possible. £2.4million is a lot and even if you paid back £250,000 a year it would still take a decade."
Bim Afolami, a former member of the committee, which scrutinises public spending, agreed, saying: "If the Royal family wants to subsidise Harry and Meghan that's fine but the state should not pay for that. They need to pay the money back now."
