Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are now Americans. (Take vicious shots at Royal Family on Oprah)

Here's Meghan Markle's Net Worth Before Becoming A Duchess

Meghan Markle was already earning a considerable income as an actress and had built her own fortune long before she married into royalty. Here's how much she made prior to becoming a duchess.
Markle's net worth was estimated to be between $2 million to $5 million. A 2019 Forbes estimate put her pre-royal wedding wealth at $2.2 million based on the salary she received as one of the stars of the USA Network legal drama "Suits."
The actress-turned-duchess played lawyer Rachel Zane for seven seasons and more than 100 episodes and only quit before marrying Prince Harry in 2018. Fortune reported in 2017 that she was paid about $45,000 per episode while starring in "Suits" and earned around $450,000 annually.
However, Markle hanging up her “suit” did not mean the end of revenue generation for her. The show is syndicated around the world, and she reportedly receives royalties every time the show is played on streaming services Netflix, Amazon Prime and NBC’s Peacock or broadcast in the U.S.

She was quietly financially successful but she was no "starlet". She was a one-trick pony given her list of roles, with only fans of "Suits" knowing who she was.

Full interview currently airing on UK telly.

Already clear she was patently out of her depth, shamelessly admitting she thought meeting the Queen would be the same as a regular person meeting their partners grandmother not knowing how to curtsy and thinking all that stuff was only for show in the outside world and didn't need to be done in private they're just like meeting normal celebs in LA

This utter ignorance and disrespect of the ancient institution is a key reason the media would have been all over her.

I'm torn between finding it hard to believe someone could be that naïve and thinking actually this is awfully typical of an arrogant American celebrity. It's so clear to see why the media saw an easy target

 

[Siamese Dream]

Ooh! Now we're into "I'm not crying you're crying!" Territory

I think that'll be enough for me

Wouldn't Harry have told her how it really was? Makes no sense she didn't know the actual protocol.

This is what I mean, it's surprising but also not surprising at the same time. Either she's lying or she's just that ignorant.

Now she's blabbing on about "hurr durr they weren't going to give him the prince title so he wouldn't get security"

Looking at the family tree, out of all of Elizabeth's great grandchildren, only William's children have the Prince/Princess title and that's because they're in the direct line of succession. Prince Edward's children also don't have the Prince/Princess title and they are grandchildren of the queen, presumably because he's the 3rd son. And she's saying they were changing the protocol while she was preggo but the reality it this was unprecedented because the Queen is so old and the family is so large at the moment. You can tell they're clearly trying to insinuate that this is because of racial reasons.

The thing is Oprah is completely clueless about this stuff as well, so there's nobody to correct her

 

[Siamese Dream]

The one thing I am absolutely finding sympathy with though is that she does seem to mostly be targeting "the man" behind the man (The Queen)

The faceless corporation. The dinosaurs who still really run the show. Like the post-Stalin Communist Party in the Soviet Union, when the General Secretary was just the face they would roll out, while all the strings were really pulled behind the scenes.

This is the stuff I can absolutely believe happened

 

[Siamese Dream]

Oprah now completely failing to understand how the Monarchy effectively only rules by consent and that if the press and ergo the public turns on them, they're finished

Oh dear.....looks like Miss Priss has been triggered by all the people not here for her blatant disrespect for the very classy & noble Meghan & Oprah:



And to think not long ago I was a huge fan of Ms. Kelly in the short time she turned "face"

Sounds like the couple was not fully aware of all of the decisions they made and what the impact of those decisions meant. That is on them for not advising the family and the institution before they revealed their desires and acted upon them.

I am all for the couple finding their own path in life, given that William and his kids are the ones in line for the throne one day.

But, if they want their own lives away from the Monarchy, they needed to sit down with the people in charge of the institution to know what the ramifications were.

That something like security when they travel is paid for by the foreign government, thus if they are no longer active members of the royal family, then the foreign government will not pay for the security. But, they seemed surprised to learn that it would be taken away, because they thought that their son would have it?

I doubt that such discussions could be had in good faith, once you step out of line you become a threat and will be treated accordingly. As the institution is only interested in self-preservation dissent only invites disciplinary action. Given that they evidently did not want to be bought silent it's hard to see what path to a positive outcome there could have been.

Just to add link.

 

[PanthersPens62]

Had no idea until this morning that Piers tried to shag Meghan the same day she met Harry.....lucky for her she blew him off. No wonder he is so bitter towards her & Harry.

Pity....

 

[John Price]

The Buckingham Palace response was kind of subdued

"We are concerned about these allegations"

"We will look into them."

There was no finger pointing or vehement denial.

Right, it was the proper reaction.

Right, it was the proper reaction.

which means meghan and harry were probably right about the abuse they got within the royal family

everything they said was true

the palace didn't deny it

How can they deny it without investigating, jesus christ.

They have THOUSANDS of employees and since they didn't name a person (since it didn't happen most likely), how can they deny?
