Before the couple tied the knot, Meghan ran a lifestyle blog called The Tig and starred on the TV show Suits.

She reportedly earned $50,000 per episode for her portrayal of Rachel Zane in the legal drama. In addition to her Suits salary, the duchess also made an income through endorsements as well as sponsorships. In 2016, Meghan had a partnership with the Canadian retail clothing store Reitman in which she designed two collections and modeled the apparel.

As for her husband, Prince Harry had a net worth of about $30 million before he and Meghan said “I do.”

A good portion of that is from the inheritance Princess Diana left him and his brother Prince William when she died. Harry also earned an income during his time in the military. When he became captain, the prince’s yearly salary was just over $50,000. As a working royal over the years, he received an allowance of over $2 million from his father, now-King Charles, to cover his daily and private expenses.

What the Sussexes’ tax filings reveal?

The Sussexes’ finances recently made headlines after their Archewell Foundation tax filings were obtained by the Daily Mail in 2023. The duke and duchess worked just 52 hours for the year, equivalent to 60 minutes per week, for Archewell.

The documents show that their foundation gave out $3 million in grants while raising $13 million from wealthy donors and $4,500 in public donations.

Archewell received $10 million from an individual donor and $3 million from another. That has led to speculation that those donations could have come from the Sussexes’ wealthy pals Oprah Winfrey or Tyler Perry.
