It never fails to amuse me how the royalist media acts like “making money” and “supporting oneself financially” are somehow the tackiest things someone can do. “She’s doing this for money!” Well, yes. It’s called having a job? “They’re profiting from their titles!” Well, no, they have titles and they also have jobs. Well, obviously, some people are deeply disturbed at the thought that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are financially successful and that Meghan in particular is good at making money.
The Duchess of Sussex is convinced her new business ventures will make her extremely wealthy, The Telegraph can reveal. A well-placed source said Meghan “thinks she’s going to be a billionaire” and that the team of executives she has hired can get her there.
It comes as the Duchess promised that her new “girl talk” podcast, Confessions Of A Female Founder, will advise listeners on how to turn “small ideas into billion-dollar businesses”. However, speaking in a short trailer for the series, she reassured one guest that it was more “dolphin tank” than “shark tank”, adding: “These are friendly waters.” The eight-part podcast, which launches next month, will mark the latest in a flurry of output from the Duchess, following the release of With Love, Meghan, her widely-criticised Netflix lifestyle series.
On Monday, she launched an online shop, offering her followers the chance to emulate her style by snapping up the same high-end clothes and accessories she wore either during the filming of the show or on recent engagements. She will receive commission on some, but not all, of the products featured.
Meghan “thinks she’s going to be a billionaire?” Really? I think Meghan has spent a lot of time figuring out what parts of her life she’s happy to monetize, but as I keep saying… she’s left a lot of money on the table. If her goal was simply “making money” or “getting billionaire status,” she would have moved a lot differently in the past five years. Anyway, there’s something in the air over there – the Sun also had a “Meghan wants to be a billionaire” story, and look at the spin they put on it.
Meghan Markle is on a crusade to become a billionaire – to secure the jet-set lifestyle she assumed she would have when she married into the Royal Family. The ex-actress is said to “crave” the fame that comes with being one of the most recognisable names on the planet. But the former royal, who rebranded herself as Meghan Sussex and has used Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet in a social media post, faces accusations that she is using her royal links to cash in.
The Sun’s revelations come five years after her Megxit agreement with the Palace came into force. An insider said: “She wants to be a billionaire. She wants a private jet. She wants to live a certain life.”
Meg would have expected to hit the jackpot after marrying Harry in 2018. Although he had savings and an inheritance, the purse strings were held by his father Charles via the Duchy of Cornwall, which handed down around £5million to share between his sons to finance their lifestyle and families. But when Charles became King in 2022, control of the Duchy funds passed to William — meaning Meghan would have to rely on her brother-in-law for money. William and Kate, and their children, were all above Harry and Meghan in the royal pecking order.
An insider said: “The assumption is if you marry a Prince of England then you end up with a private jet and the lifestyle she craves. But when she realised William and Kate would ultimately be in charge of how much they got in terms of their allowance, she was saying, ‘We gotta get out of here’.”
LMAO, the constant attempts to rewrite/reimagine why the Sussexes left and how those ghastly people treated them. Anyway, it’s just a nice change of pace these days – most of the time, the British media’s Sussex pocket-watching is based on trying to make Meghan and Harry sound like broke-ass flops. At least now they’re saying Meghan’s on a billionaire track. Just FYI: Meghan’s far from billionaire status, but I love that she’s finally getting some big revenue streams going.

How dare a biracial woman, who married a white Prince , try to earn a living and make lots of money!!!!!!!
Unless she is absolutely insane, I would imagine she’s gotten plenty of attention and eyeballs on her to last a lifetime. But she’s going to be famous for the rest of her life and she knows that.
And because of the raggedy royals and their rancid reporters, she (and her children) need security for life. Once I got going, I’d be making as much money as I possibly could and making sure my future was safe, protected and secured.
The royal family are the absolute WORST in-laws!
I swear. It’s like those movies. Where the bride marries the love of her life. And then after the wedding they are invited for brunch and she is hunted for sport in a “family tradition” her husband knew nothing about. And she turns the tables and leaves victorious but deeply traumatized.
Worst. In. Laws. Ever.
When I read any story where there is indignation about why they would do such and such I often think about how they have to cover security expenses. I admire that they are finding a way to do that and be good parents and feel they are doing work that helps people.
Friendly Crow—yes!! It’’s the movie Ready Or Not all over again. Fun flick. It’s delightful to see Meghan take these creeps down in rl as well…😈😈🤣🤣
I hope she reaches that billionaire level also, it means a future that is secure, safe and independent from that family and the rota they control. She has certainly surrounded herself with extraordinary and successful women and businesses I can see it happening someday.
Even if she misses the billionaire mark and ends up with an 8- or 9-figure net worth, that’s still nothing to sneeze at. Not that the rota won’t try to spin someone being worth in the neighborhood of $100 million being an abject failure.
I hope she does, and stays happy on her way there. For the record, I don’t think billionaire status is her goal, but I want the disgusting people who made her suffer to see it happen.
No I never believed billionaire status was the goal for Meghan or Harry.. their goal is to be safe and raise their children out of the tabloid media world and away from the dysfunctional BRF and rota. Health, happiness and safety are far more important to these two than any status, I firmly believe that.
She’s experimenting with money making ventures. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if she becomes a billionaire because she’s gutsy and will try new ideas. It must killing the BRF that it is increasingly clear they will never run out of money as Charles predicted.
“…has used Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet in a social media post”
Pretty f–king rich, coming from the people who fawn over WIlliam and Kate every time they use their kids as human shields when they face bad publicity.
And God forbid a woman object to having to beg her brother-in-law for every little bit of cash to support her family. Who the hell would want to live like that?!
Yeah, how dare she use the back of their children’s heads, rendering them unrecognizable to the British media!
Louis supposedly took the “blair witch” portrait of Kate in forest, but most in the media praised Louis for his alleged photo graph. William used Charlotte for damage control and did a video after he got slammed for not showing up at a women’s final event.
I think Meghan’s entire goal was that they would never have to worry about money and that the money they had would theirs and theirs alone. I think that’s been achieved and now Meghan gets to work on passion projects. There’s nothing offensive about that but it’s pretty clear that the British narrative of Harry and his wife being under the royal thumb has been disrupted.
I’m going to the guess that the well-placed source spoke to both the Telegraph and the Sun or “Meghan wants to be a billionaire” is the new narrative cooked up the newspaper editors. Given the success of the show and its renewal, they can’t keep saying that she’s a flop and has no money so they’re pivoting to she wants to be a billionaire. If Meghan’s buying a sofa for Harry, it means she already knew about his financial situation and that he didn’t have access to funds. Plus, if Harry and Meghan were still working royals they (at least Harry) would have been funded by the Duchy of Lancaster aka Charles not William.
She knew the lifestyle she was marrying into. He lived in a janky run down musty cottage. They redid a bunch of it just so that it was nice for them. Didn’t they redo the terrace themselves? And paint etc? I remember that from spare.
They did pay to have NottCott interior repainted themselves, in Sept/Oct of 2016.
Yes, there were even photos in their documentary where they were outside painting the exterior of NottCott. Harry mentioned in Spare how Charles said he couldn’t afford to pay for both William and Harry’s family if he were to marry Meghan. She was paying for furniture in his cottage. Daniel even mentioned how when he visited her she was painting her own nails. Marrying Harry was obviously for love and not this fictitious money he didn’t have.
Yes, at the time it was Charles who said he couldn’t afford to fund Meghan’s working wardrobe, she was supposed to pay for her work clothes herself, while Kate got hers paid for. Has she told these unnamed sources that she expect to be a billionaire, no, they made it up themselves. If you have more than one child you should treat them equally, and also their wives and children.
Yes she will become a billionaire and I will definitely contribute my pennies to help make it happen!!!
I stand ready to buy one billion dollars worth of jam.
Same! I’ll happily contribute to the ‘Archie and Lili Freedom Fund’ so that they can live safely and happily away from Salty Island.
I’ve still got my eye on that navy blue sweater she wore in Canada Invictus.
Absolutely 💯 %👏🏼
That Sun article is so stupid. There was NEVER going to be a situation in which William would be in charge of the purse strings re Harry unless William became king. William’s duchy income would go towards supporting HIS family, just as Charles’ duchy income did. So Charles, as king, would still be funding his son’s (Harry’s) family – not that he funded him much to begin with, as he gave more than 4/5 of the allocated millions in funding to William.
Exactly Magdalena!!! The Duchy of Cornwall is for the heir and his family only. H&M would have continued to be dependent on Charles for finance. These toxic tabloids continue to print lies for clicks. Thankfully the Sussexes are able to be financially independent far away from that toxic institution, toxic royal family and toxic British media. 🤦🏽♀️
Until Charles died and then William would say – if you want me to pay for your children’s school fees Harold, you need to put me on the board of IG. Or Sentable.
The Windsors live too long and QEII was misdirecting funds for decades with no oversight.
Harry should have been moved to Civil List/Sovereign Grant funding and BP for his Household/PR the *minute* he turned 18. Charles and William wanted to continue to use and abuse him and keep him under their control via Duchy of Cornwall. QEII and Philip should have acted to protect Harry years ago.
Media and plebian trolls: “How dare Meghan realise she deserves to make money from her life and endeavors? How dare she not allow that to be OUR job!”
Always pocket watching a Black woman. Mind ya damn business!
This right here. Heaven forbid a Black woman, who knows her worth and has connections, use those connections to secure financial independence from a country and family that mean to do her harm. How dare her!
Exactly. And I think that the fact that the BM claims that’s what Meghan wants is because that’s what the BM fears will happen. (I have a real problem with people in the media claiming they know what’s in someone else’s mind.).
Bone to pick, Meghan may not be a working royal but she’s still royal. And technically speaking, she’s still working but for herself and not for the royal family. Last I heard, she’s still married to a prince and doesn’t she have a Nigerian title in her own right?
That’s why that argument is ridiculous. There is no way to take away all of her titles. She married a prince who is still royal even if they are not working for the RF. Unless the monarchy is abolished she would be Princess Henry of Wales if she wasn’t the Duchess of Sussex. There is no way she can’t help but make money while being royal. Bc she is royal by marriage. They can’t strip that but they can berate her for…the crime of loving and marry a man who is a prince. Oh well.
If the British Monarchy is abolished, Meghan is still a Princess. I’m so sick of the pretty blatant erasure of her adoption into Nigerian royalty, her four king fathers and their adoration of their accomplished daughter.
It’s as if African titles, royalty and nobility are looked at with disgust by the mainstream media for some reason. Or as less than nothing. I wonder why.
Because Charlie is now king? I think she’d be ‘Princess Henry’ or ‘Princess Henry of Lancaster’, not Wales.
As I understand it, being married to the son of the King it is now just Princess Henry, or off course, The Duchess of Sussex.
Yeah, must confess I don’t know exactly. So sure Princess Henry. But at the end of the day, she married a prince. She’s royal by marriage. And she is a royal who is working. They’ll say she’s using her titles, but at the end of the day, the whole world knows she’s a princess/duchess whether she uses her titles or not. There’s nothing she can do about that.
Yeah, Meghan is not the least bit concerned about those bitter Bettys. And at least here in the U$A, “How dare she make money!!” is not the scandal they pretend it is.
Ratchets telling on themselves. Their plan was for the Wales to nickel and dime Harry and Meghan forever–so they would always be short of money and at the mercy of the royal family (until Meghan got fed up and left). It really chaps their asses that they can’t control the Sussexes through their money. They wanted Meghan to be Fergie 2.0, always broke, always messy. Especially as a black woman–they think she should have been happy with whatever crumbs dropped from their tables.
I love their frustration! And may the Sussexes reach 10 figures someday, just so they can always be protected from the wrath of the racist left-over royals.
I am not in Meghan’s pockets so I do not know what she has or do not have. I am just enjoying watching her reclaim her power by living her best life in her joy filled era. Pocket watching by the gutter rat journalists is now their new go to after profiting off this woman for years.
I’m truly admiring of her bravery in putting herself back out there. What a strong person she is.
I wish she had never needed to be this strong but I celebrate with joy the person she has been able to become regardless of the sheer destructive hatred laser focused on her.
I would love to hear how she reclaimed her power. How she moved through the idea of being watched and hated into the light of not caring.
I’m so beaten down currently that I’m not even posting in FB groups where a woman that bullied me is posting.
I’m sorry about what happened to you. Social media can be a scourge sometimes.
Stay strong, Friendly Crow!
So sad to hear this @Friendly Crow! Bullies only target what they envy and can’t understand! Don’t let them dim your light or self worth! Your views and opinions are just as valid as theirs, and they need to know that their behaviour is a reflection only on themselves, and fills their souls with bitterness. You sail on unbothered by their meaness. Courage mon brave!
Dear Friendly Crow:
Please look around you for those who like you, care about you, love you.
See yourself through their eyes.
Find your tribe, keep them close, remember that those who put ugliness and negativity into this world — people like your bully — sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind.
Those people want onlookers to think they’re happy, satisfied, etc., but they’re not. The hole inside them that they’re trying to fill is eternally empty, and when they need loved ones who are willing to put up with them and help them in the hours of need that come to us all, that support will fail them.
Turn your back on the hate and the anxiety. Look for the beautiful, the simple, the achievable, the helpful. Make small beauties for yourself.
I just had three bunches of field daffodils delivered with my grocery order yesterday. They came tightly closed, little brown & green spears. I put them in a crystal pitcher, and when I woke up they had all bloomed out spectacularly! A glorious burst of yellow and such a smile on my face! All at three dollars a bunch.
You deserve joy, and it waits for you — just reach out your hand. Yes, the world is a hard place, but we don’t have to let it make us hard people.
Sending you internet ((((hugs))))

So what if she becomes a billionaire? What does it matter to them?
Stay jealous rats. She’s wealthy in all that matters, and you’re not.
Meghan isn’t going to sit around and do nothing, Wanting to be financially secure and build a business doesn’t mean her goal is to own a private jet or even be a billionaire. Why are the tabloids obsessed about the Sussexes and private jets?
People die in private jets accidents. If they know that they own one it will be logged and their flights will also be logged. They can keep track of them much more easily and an accident would be much easier to arrange. Just saying.
Them flying around in friends jets and no one knowing what jet or who’s or where they are taking off from keeps them so safe in so many ways.
Because that’s how the king and his heir travel.
Where exactly is the Telegraph’s “well placed source’ located? that knows the inner workings of Meghan’s mind. Hang on, The Sun has an insider who repeats the same story line but adds ‘a private jet’. It is clear these writers agree amongst themselves what a story line will be but haven’t a clue what Meghan wants or thinks. It is obvious the tabloids don’t have insiders or well placed sources in the H&M camp or they wouldn’t have been caught flat footed with all of Meghan’s announcements recently.
I think they’ve been reading this site because their financial trajectory is looking healthy now that they’ve left that cesspit.
Funny, you say that! It occurred to me the only place I’ve seen a reference to potential billionaire with respect to Meghan was in one brief comment on CB yesterday. So when I saw the heading for this article this morning, that was my first thought, these media people are reading these pages. I think that’s been clear to other commenters in the past, but it’s the first time I felt like the dots connected for me.
The British media prefers their royals to steal from the public while being slumlord billionaires. Meghan you bring shame to the family by having, a wait for it, a real tax paying job. Oh the shame.
That’s what I truly don’t understand. Why wouldn’t the Brits be glad that two fewer royals (four if you count the kids) are living on the public dime?
And why aren’t they mad that the Lazy Wales do almost nothing to earn their keep?
They hate her BECAUSE she’s successful. It’s always been the reason. Jealousy and resentment are fueling their obsession with her.
I just think it is crazy some of the stories the press come up with, and they expect people to believe them. Unfortunately too many people seem to.
Latest stories amount to the tabs and welfare royals raising the white flag. To even raise the possibility of Meghan’s billionaire status means they all know the smear campaign has not worked snd they are afraid of the Yankee girl of color. Game, set match to mm
Imagine being a royalist who complains about people who live in wealth and luxury.
Imagine being a supporter of Camilla and Kate who complains about people who marry into a wealthy family.
Imagine being a supporter of Charles and William who complains about people who become rich and famous through their own labor rather than through inheritance.
It really burns their cookies that Meghan makes money without connecting it to the brf. That’s why they’re writing this crap. She and Harry weren’t supposed to be able to succeed without the rf. Frankly, I think the brf is a drag on the Sussexes at this point.
She’s genuinely the only person on the planet I’d advocate for becoming a billionaire. Just to stick it to the left behinds They’re so bothered by her living her best life finally profiting from what she wears and shares. Love this for the rota. They can cry and scream yet still report nothing factual and. While the left behinds continue to be left behind and trail in Harry and Meghan’s dust.
I really hope she does become a billionaire and I don’t even want a billionaire class.
Yes, I would gladly welcome a billionair who is nice, compassion, hard working and with a social conscious, and who does not put money & profit before everything else.
She can and will do so many good things.
Meghan was already a millionaire before she got married, right?
“The Duchess of Sussex is convinced her new business ventures will make her extremely wealthy, The Telegraph can reveal.”
— HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
“The ex-actress is said to “crave” the fame that comes with being one of the most recognisable names on the planet.”
— What does this string of words even mean? She loves the fame that comes with being famous?
That’s clearly why she’s hitting up every single red carpet in LA…except she’s not doing that and hasn’t done that.
They’re already very wealthy. Both H and M have been investing since 2020. Harry got his inheritance which would have multiplied numerous times. The spare money which must be a lot. The Netflix and Spotify money. Investments done well have made massive gains the last few years. They’re already worth likely best part of 100 plus mill (incl any contract money to come) I think closer to 200
Didn’t Mark Cuban predict that the Sussexes would become billionaires? They need to ensure the security of themselves and their children. I think Meghan has the Midas touch. She knows how to make money by working hard and being creative. I think her passion is philanthropy, but she knows more than one way to support that. She’s just really admirable. She has really been blessed: her kindness and compassion draws people and supporters to her.
Yes the BM, maybe even that island has a problem with people working hard and moving up. They’re still stuck in a class system where if you want to move up to better yourself, you’ll get looked down. My goodness, this is the 21st century! Keep up with the times.
Neither of the UK media have access to Meghan or anyone who is part of the fiercely protective group of people who surround her and her family. Neither of them know what Meghan’s hopes or plans are now and they definitely didn’t know what her hopes and plans when she started dating Harry. They have never had sources or access to her to say anything definitive about her and we know that by them wanting us to believe that a self made millionaire thought that a man living inside a shack that couldn’t hold a candle to her own home, was the “jackpot” that was going to get her the “private jet and luxury lifestyle” that they allege she always wanted. The man who lived on an allowance and living in a shack was going to give her more than she already had or could get with someone who didn’t come from a racist family that was taxpayer funded? She worked in an industry and was from a place where millionaires and billionaires are a dime a dozen. Let’s not forget that it was Harry who first saw her and was the one pursuing her, not the other way around. She entered into a relationship with Harry because somehow (my word) he was better than all of those mf’ers in that family. Him being a prince was and is irrelevant because he is so much more than the family he was born into. He is Diana’s son thru and thru.
