Markle seems to have been keeping a low profile since stepping back from the royal family, but it's unlikely that she will be out of the spotlight for long. In a recent address about the event that has now come to be known as Megxit, Prince Harry opened up about the couple's plans. While he didn't get into too much detail, he said that he and his wife hope to continue to live "a life of service."

"I will continue to be the same man who holds his country dear and dedicates his life to supporting the causes, charities and military communities that are so important to me," said the royal (via E! News).

British PR and branding expert Mark Borkowski told The Post (via Page Six) that Harry and Meghan could begin careers in public speaking, where they could expect to make at least half a million per speech. Another possibility for the couple, said Borkowski, is that they create a documentary channel. "With the kind of work that Meghan and Harry want to do, they have to be free from palace protocol and politics," said Borkowski. "You can't speak out properly with the Palace breathing down your neck."

Prince Harry reportedly wants to be a humanitarian

This would be in line with what Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, says Prince Harry wants to do with his life. "I doubt he'll miss being a royal," Burrell told Us Weekly. "Yes, he was born a prince, but his long-term ambition is to be known as a humanitarian, like his mother."
