The couple might have left the royal chariot behind, but the ex-royals hardly leave the limelight. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, the Duchess and Duke of Sussex, were recently seen at the Sundance Film Festival, appearing for the premiere of \u2018Cookie Queens\u2019, a Girl Scouts documentary from their company Archewell Productions. Whether on the red carpet posing in front of the cameras or cooking up a storm before an army of crew, people can\u2019t stop talking about these two. And that\u2019s not just for the drama, but for how they\u2019ve built a new life, and a new fortune, since stepping away from the royal family in 2020.Six years out of the royal loop, where does the ex-royal couple actually stand, financially?As per Parade, in 2026, their combined net worth sits around USD 60 million (about GBP 46\u201348 million), and that number comes from a mix of inheritance, big media deals, business projects, and personal earnings.Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n Media and streaming deals:<\/span> The Netflix deal is a huge chunk of their wealth. Back in 2020, Harry and Meghan signed a five-year agreement with the streaming platform, worth USD 100 million, as reported by Celebrity Net Worth, to produce content through Archewell Productions. Their docuseries, \u2018Harry & Meghan,\u2019 pulled in a massive audience. But by 2025 and 2026, news broke that the giant streamer didn\u2019t renew the original deal in the same way. Now, any new projects might be under a first-look agreement, not a giant upfront payday. Before the same OTT platform, they had a Spotify partnership too, for Meghan\u2019s \u2018Archetypes\u2019 podcast, which brought in somewhere between USD 18\u201325 million. It only lasted one season, but the money definitely helped jumpstart their post-royal earnings.Books and other projects: Harry\u2019s memoir \u2018Spare\u2019 was another big win, with a publishing advance rumored at USD 20 million or more. He gave some of that away to charity, but the rest (plus ongoing sales) goes right into his bank account. Meghan\u2019s children\u2019s book, \u2018The Bench,\u2019 added another USD 700,000 to her side, and she keeps earning from narration and writing gigs.Inheritance and early careers:<\/span> A good part of Harry\u2019s wealth comes from his family. He inherited about USD 10 million from Princess Diana, plus USD 8.5 million from the Queen Mother\u2019s trust when he hit 40. He used to get royal allowances from the Duchy of Cornwall, but that stopped after he and Meghan stepped back. Meghan wasn\u2019t exactly starting from scratch, either. Her acting career, mainly \u2018Suits\u2019 at USD 50,000 per episode, plus other roles and her blog \u2018The Tig,\u2019 built up her own savings before she ever met Harry.Speaking engagements and business roles:<\/span> These two also cash in on public speaking, with fees often hitting USD 1 million per event. They talk about leadership, mental health, social change\u2014stuff they actually care about. Harry\u2019s also the Chief Impact Officer at BetterUp, a mental health startup. Details on his pay aren\u2019t public, but jobs like that usually mean seven-figure salaries and open new doors outside the royal bubble.<\/p>\n Add it all up, and Harry and Meghan\u2019s USD 60 million net worth is a mix of old money and new hustle. They don\u2019t get royal funding anymore, but they earn it, mostly through media, writing, speaking, and business. They live in Montecito, California, in a home they bought for about USD 14.65 million. Owning something like that not only boosts their assets but also speaks to their financial footing even after leaving the royal fold.DISCLAIMER:<\/span> Figures presented in this article are derived from various public sources and are considered approximate unless explicitly noted.
