After 4 years of being ousted from the royal family, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were unexpectedly hit with the seizure of millions of dollars worth of assets: A stagnant life. See the detailed story under the comments. ๐๐๐
Meghan Markle and Prince Harryโs mansion is reportedly worth $14 million (ยฃ11m), with the couple living close to the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres and Katy Perry.
According to reports, the Sussexes have a combined net worth of $60 million (ยฃ48m), despite their stepping down from their roles as senior working royals in 2020 and being forced to repay the taxpayer costs for the renovation of Frogmore Cottage, their former Windsor home.
In May 2020, it was reported that the Duke and Duchess would repay taxpayer costs for the Frogmore Cottage renovations, with them planning to make the payments over the next decade. The total refurbishment costs were estimated at around ยฃ2.4 million, meaning they would pay around ยฃ18,000 a month until completely paid in full.
Since moving from England to the States, the couple have secured several lucrative deals. In 2020, the same year that they announced their royal departure, the couple signed a deal with Netflix which was reportedly worth around $100 million (ยฃ80m). They then secured a $20 million (ยฃ17m) advance from publisher Penguin Random House for a reported four-book deal, which included Spare.
The couple also signed a lucrative $25 million (ยฃ18m) deal with Spotify in late 2020, which saw Meghan Markle release her Archetypes podcast. A joint statement from the coupleโs company, Archewell, and streaming platform Spotify said that they had โmutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together,โ but later a Spotify executive branded the couple โf***ing griftersโ.
