Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, would not be making the trip to Balmoral to be with the family after the death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8.

According to the BBC, royal reporter Omid Scobie confirmed her absence on Twitter, saying that Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, also would not be present since she was taking care of her three children in Windsor.

Towards the end of 2021, Markle’s attorney Jenny Afia defended her client against claims that she had bullied Kensington Palace employees. Markle also tried to patch fences with her estranged father by writing a letter.

It was speculated that Markle did not initially travel with the family upon the death of the Queen due to her penchant for controversy, which had strained her relationships with family members like Prince William and Prince Charles, as well as her appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” with a performance that one royal author said, “embarrassed the royal family.”

Career Prior to Dating Prince Harry

Markle was raised in Hollywood by a mother who taught yoga and a father who won an Emmy as a lighting director. Markle received her education at prestigious elite institutions before earning degrees in theatre and international studies from Northwestern University.

Following this, she pursued a career in acting, making her television debut in early 2000 with guest spots on shows like General Hospital, Century City, CSI: New York, and Fringe. She supplemented her income by participating in “Deal or No Deal” for a little time as a model.

Markle joined the cast of “Suits” in July 2011 following a few cinematic roles, including the film “Horrible Bosses,” for which she reportedly earned $50,000 each episode, or an annual salary of $450,000, according to Celebrity Net Worth. With her appearances on the show stretching all the way through 2017, she earned close to $4 million.

Personal Life

Markle’s romance with actor and producer Trevor Engelson began that year. It was in September of 2011 that they tied the knot. In August of 2013, they divorced with no accusations of wrongdoing being made by either party. In the wake of their breakup, she dated famous chef Cory Vitiello for close to two years.

There were rumors that Meghan Markle was seeing Prince Harry, a member of the British royal family, in June 2016. It wasn’t until November 2016 that their connection was officially acknowledged.

The couple got engaged in November 2016 and married in March 2017. Meghan and Harry welcomed a baby, Archie, in May 2019. He is seventh in line to the British throne. Because of her marriage to Prince Harry, Markle is now commonly referred to as the Duchess of Sussex.

How Rich Is Meghan Markle?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, have a combined net worth of $60 million despite being at the center of numerous controversies.

Markle entered the marriage with her own money and career, and a net worth of $2 million when she wed the prince, but she also became the Duchess of Sussex, Countess of Dumbarton, and Baroness Kilkeel after the wedding.

Early in 2020, the couple announced their separation from the royal family and revealed that they had donated all of the money Harry had inherited as a result of his family’s position.

On Oprah Winfrey in March of 2020, Prince Harry revealed that he and Markle were financially dependent on the rumored $13 million trust he inherited from Princess Diana’s estate. However, the couple has amassed enormous wealth for themselves since then.

Celebrity Net Worth reported that after Markle and her new husband left the royal family and relocated to her native California, they signed a five-year, $100 million production deal with Netflix to create original films, TV shows for kids, and documentaries.

They also inked an $18 million deal with streaming giant Spotify to branch out into podcast creation and hosting. Although financial details of the agreement were not disclosed, one expert in the field told Newsweek that the contract could be worth as much as $35 million.

Book Contracts

The Bench, Markle’s debut novel, was published in June and quickly became a New York Times best seller. The book, which is about fathers and sons, reportedly had an advance offer of up to $700,000, according to British media.

In July of 2021, Penguin Random House announced that they had acquired the rights to publish Price Harry’s “literary memoir,” with a release date in late 2022 being discussed at the time.

British media have reported that one of the four books included in the deal will be a “wellness guide” written by Markle, but the company has not confirmed this. As reported by the Daily Mail, the book deal could be worth as much as $40 million.

Meghan Markle Real Estate

In 2020, Meghan and Prince Harry’s new media contracts allowed them to buy a $14.7 million mansion in Montecito, California, where they now reside with their two children.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, they put down $5 million in cash and took out a mortgage for $10 million to complete the acquisition. They repaid $3 million that had been used to upgrade their estate in Frogmore, England.
