What is Prince Harry's Net Worth?
After a public step away from royal life, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have claimed financial independence from the royal family, a move that leaves fans wondering what their current net worth amounts to.
Former British royals Prince Harry and Meghan Markle claimed to be "financially independent" from the family following their isolation in 2020. After several profitable business deals and media contracts, including documentaries, memoirs, and podcasts, the couple has reportedly amassed over $135 million, per Forbes, making them a true power couple—not that they weren't already. However, after years of drawn-out drama between Prince Harry, Megan Markle, and Spotify, the accurate value of their net worth has been called into question. Further, Meghan Markle has reportedly signed a new podcast deal with Lemonada Media, which will see the redistribution of the Archtypes podcast as well as the creation of a new podcast series, which is sure to increase the couple's burgeoning net worth.
Following the release of the Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, as well as Prince Harry's tell-all memoir Spare one year later, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were estimated to have a net worth of roughly $10 million in 2021 according to Forbes, but these former royals made their millions in more ways than one.
Due to inheritance received from Princess Diana's residuary estate, which Forbes reports to be $10 million, Prince Harry is no longer considered a beneficiary of any of the $100 million left to grandchildren of the Royal family by his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother.
While it remains unknown if Prince Harry's net worth was at all impacted by the death of the late Queen Elizabeth II, the retired royal was given an estimated $6.9 million from 2018 to 2019 from the Duchy of Cornwall from the collection of investments and financial assets controlled by his father, King Charles III.
After claiming financial independence from his family in 2020, Prince Harry released a statement confessing that without the inheritance left to him by his mother, he and wife Meghan Markle "would not have been able to do this," speaking in regard to the financial woes that led to the end of the Sussexes' multimillion-dollar Spotify deal, although many details about the collapse of the deal have been kept under wraps.
Per the New York Post, Prince Harry and Markle may have lost the $20 million deal with Spotify, but their net worth remains in a comfortable place as their $100 million deal with Netflix prevails, leaving his family unscathed from the financial separation between himself and his royal legacy. As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to expand their sprawling business deals, especially with their latest ventures, Meghan Markle's American Riviera Orchard and their shared production company, Archewell Productions, it's safe to assume that the couple's net worth will only go up as time passes.
