How Much Meghan Markle Is Worth Now After The Royal Split
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry may not be drawing money from the Crown now that they've stepped back from their duties as senior royals, but they aren't going to have to tighten their belts too much post-Megxit. Prince Harry, after all, is worth quite a bit of money, and Markle also has some money stashed aside from her previous career as an actress.
While Markle and Prince Harry have yet to announce exactly how they will be supporting themselves following their split from the royal family, their sizeable nest egg ensures that they can live in comfort until they figure out their next moves. Just how much money does Markle have set aside?
Meghan Markle made a lot of money during her acting career
Before marrying Prince Harry, Markle had a successful acting career. Early in her career, she was a "briefcase girl" on the game show Deal or No Deal (per IMDb). She built up her career with roles on television shows and movies like Deceit, Fringe, and Remember Me. Markle rose to greater fame on the series Suits, which she starred on from 2011 to 2018 before quitting the show to marry Prince Harry.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Meghan Markle is worth an estimated $5 million. It's a far cry from the massive fortune of the royal family (the outlet notes that Queen Elizabeth has approximately $600 million), but it's still enough to keep Markle and Prince Harry afloat as they figure out how to support themselves.
Markle also received an inheritance from the estate of the late Princess Diana, who left a fortune not just to her sons, Prince Harry and Prince William, but also to their future spouses. According to MSN's Buzz60, Princess Diana left her children her jewelry collection "so that their wives may, in due course, have it or use it."
