They’ve got to afford that huge house, staff, and personal security somehow.

It’ll be interesting to see how it pans out. For his employer, Harry’s network and especially his ability to open doors is probably unrivalled by virtually anyone else in the world...

I'm not too familiar with the power of children of Monarchs.

I can understand why rich and successful people want to meet other rich and successful people. Why do rich and successful non-Brits care about meeting Harry?

after the interview where the multi-millionaire 36 year old complained about Daddy cutting his allowance I don't think there are any Brits left that care about meeting Harry

you kinda answered your own question. "rich and successful people want to meet other rich and successful people". Harry's network is likely to be near 100% rich and powerful people and others want a gateway.
