The pair will be represented by the Harry Walker Agency, a New York-based firm whose stable also includes speakers such as former Presidential Barack and Michelle Obama as well as Bill and Hillary Clinton. TV star Oprah Winfrey also belongs to the same company.

Should talk about mental health

These will be the first paid assignments for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex since they left the UK to distance themselves from the royal house and live a more independent life with their own income. The couple currently lives in Los Angeles with their son Archie.

According to Reuters sources, Harry and Meghan's appearances will be about racial issues, gender equality, climate and mental health. Prince Harry has previously spoken openly about his grief work after his mother, Princess Diana, died in a car accident in 1997.

Can make big money

The couple will also participate in panel debates. High-profile lecturers can make big money in the United States, sometimes millions of dollars for a single lecture.
