Once upon a time in the magical land of Montecito, where the sun always shines, and the air is filled with the scent of privilege, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle embarked on a financial rollercoaster after bidding adieu to the Royal Family. Grab your popcorn, because this story is juicier than a royal tea party!
Our daring duo, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, decided to ditch the crown jewels for a life of glitz and glam in California. With a twirl of their metaphorical mustaches, they signed mega deals with the giants of entertainment—Netflix and Spotify. A hundred million dollars? That’s more than the Queen’s corgi budget!
Netflix became their new BFF, and the Sussexes pumped out more content than a royal pastry chef on a sugar high. From a documentary on world leaders (because why not?) to a six-part docuseries that probably made the Queen spill her tea, Harry and Meghan were the talk of Tinseltown.
Not to be outdone, our Prince Charming, also known as Harry, dropped the bombshell memoir of the century—’Spare.’ Move over Shakespeare, there’s a new literary genius in town. And guess what? He even landed a gig as the Chief Impact Officer for a California firm called BetterUp. Because nothing says impact like a royal in the boardroom.
Meanwhile, Meghan donned her podcasting crown for Spotify, but alas, the music streaming kingdom wasn’t ready for such regal brilliance. The deal got the royal boot in June faster than you can say, “Is this thing on?”
But hold on to your tiaras! The plot thickens. The Sussexes’ annual income, once a royal feast of £5 million, turned into a Cinderella pumpkin after they hung up their senior royal boots. No more fancy wardrobes, private jets, or security blankets funded by the taxpayers. Talk about going from riches to riches.
And just when you thought the fairy tale couldn’t get any more enchanting, Prince Harry spilled the tea that their Californian escapade was made possible by a hefty £13 million fortune from the late Princess Diana. It’s like a modern-day fairy godmother waved her wand and said, “Go forth, my royal children, and conquer Hollywood!”
Our dashing prince apparently inherited a pretty penny from his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother. It’s raining money in the royal family tree!
And so, in the kingdom of Montecito, where dreams are made of stardust and fortunes are inherited like hand-me-down tiaras, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue their quest for happily ever after—financially ever after, that is. Stay tuned for the next chapter of this royally hilarious saga!
