• Royals Harry and Meghan declare total war on the British Crown and mow the grass under the feet of the future sovereign

  • Solidarity The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have only raised $50,000 with their Archewell Foundation

  • Monarchies The objective of the princes of Wales in the US: annul Harry and Meghan Markle

The one in San Quentin was set up in the United Kingdom.

Harry and Meghan told almost everything (there are still three installments left) in the Netflix series for which they suppose they have been able to

receive up to 100 million dollars

(94 million euros).

The tabloids have also made a profit by lashing out at

the Sussexes for mocking the Queen, for trying to "overthrow the monarchy"

and for accusing the British of being "racist".

King Charles and Prince William have for the moment followed Buckingham's well-known slogan: do not react.

But the political impact has not been long in coming and

Conservative MP Bob Seely has announced

his intention for Parliament to take action on the matter to prevent Harry and Meghan from

"throwing rubbish over their own family and getting money out of their miseries to public consumption".

Seely has announced that he will present an amendment to the Titles Cancellation Act of 1917 -approved after the First World War- so that the couple finally lose the treatment of Dukes of Sussex for belittling "the most important

institutions of this country".

The initiative has opened a debate in British society about the legitimacy of Harry and Meghan's accusations, which on the one hand they launch against the media for "destroying" their privacy and on the other hand they monetize their own story, to the point of practically turning it into their

mode of life...

The value of the "power couple"

After their break with the royal family, some predicted that Harry and Meghan could become the billion-dollar "power couple" in a matter of a decade.

According to estimates by Celebrity Net Worth,

the actual real value of the couple would be around 60 million dollars (56 million euros) today.

Forbes lowered the bar at the end of 2021 and placed them at around 10 million dollars, a figure questioned as too low by some analysts, taking into account that only the house they acquired in Montecito (California) in 2020

is

valued in 14 million euros.

The Netflix super contract

The agreement signed with Netflix in September 2020

was the first oxygen balloon in his new "independent" life

.

The figure of the 100 million dollars has not been officially confirmed.

Some

information lowers it to 60 million and others even raise it to 150 million,

not only for the autobiographical series in six chapters, but also for an unknown number of documentaries and children's programs.

Still from the Netflix series, Harry and MeghanAP

The difficulties of Netflix, however, forced the cancellation of the project of the cartoon series

Pearl

- about a "heroine" on a journey of self-discovery

and facing the challenges of each day

-

of which Meghan was going to be executive producer.

The

Harry and Meghan

series , recorded in August 2022, also went through serious trouble after the death of the Queen.

The couple tried to edit some of its content after the fact

to remove references and avoid friction with the royal family

, and even went so far as to request a postponement of its broadcast until 2023.

But the machinery was already running and the initial response did not disappoint expectations: Netflix confirmed that the platform had

temporarily "fallen" due to high demand

.

Although there are also fears of a

boomerang

effect on subscriptions in the UK, where the series has caused major divisions.

The Archewell Production Company

When they had to close the official website of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan

pulled out the magic word: "Archewell"

(which comes from "arjé", the first element or the principle of action in classical Greek, and " well" or "well").

Archwell, which also carries an implicit nod to the couple's eldest son, Archie,

gives its name to both the foundation and the

couple's production company, dedicated to "stories that inspire and give hope."

The official debut will be in 2023 with a series titled

Heart of Invictus

,

a journey into the

Olympic Games

for war veterans driven by Harry after his mission in the war in Afghanistan.

Fighting the "archetypes"

Taking advantage of her charts as an actress, Meghan sealed her contract with Spotify (estimated

between 14 and 24 million euros

) for the

Archetypes

podcast , in which she has interviewed, among others, the comedian Judd Apatow or the actresses Issa Rae and Mindy Kaling.

She has just wrapped up the first season with

a great reception

and with the Peoples Awards in Los Angeles.

Awards and speeches

Two days before the premiere on Netflix, the couple left by private plane (they have been

widely criticized for their supposed

environmental awareness) to New York to receive the

RFK award for their contribution to human rights

and the debate on racism.

For his interventions in charity galas and NGOs, they do not take a bill, but it is estimated that

Harry came to charge up to a million dollars

for a speech at JPMorgan in 2020 and that this could be his economic rate.

Both he and Meghan signed with the

Harry Walker agency

, which counts the Clintons and Obamas among its clients.

lucrative books

Spare: in the shadows

, is the title of Prince Harry's autobiography of more than 400 pages that

will be released on January 10

, in the wake of the commotion created by the series.

Spare

can also be loosely translated as

Leftover

, the feeling Harry claims to have had for much of his life.

The promotion bills this book as a story filled with

"lucidity, revelations, introspection and wisdom about the eternal power of love

and wisdom acquired at great cost", with a special emphasis on mental health and his personal journey "from trauma to healing" after Diana's death.

Harry has announced that the benefits will go to the

NGOs Sentebale and WellChild

.

According to the Daily Mail

newspaper

, the contract signed by the couple with Penguin Random House for a total of four books

could be around between 21 and 33 million

euros.

Meghan led the way with her own children's book,

The Bench

, which made the New York Times bestseller list.

The next installment of it will apparently be a

manual of leadership

and philanthropy.

The Heritage

When Diana died, she left an inheritance of about 24 million euros for her two children.

The

Queen Mother also left him 8 million euros

when she died in 2002. It is unknown if Queen Elizabeth II reserved part of her inheritance for him.

Until his break with the Royal House, Harry depended on an annual allowance of about six million euros.

Carlos could have advanced him

an amount that he has not disclosed

during the "transition" to America.

Meghan came to earn about two million dollars for her part for the 100 episodes of the

Suits

series , plus the incipient profits she had with her blog

From her The Tig

.

She has come to have properties in Toronto for a total value of about four million.

The couple

returned the three million euros for the renovation of the

Frogmore chalet in Windsor where they barely spent a few months after their wedding.

The Montecito Mansion

The couple thought they found the house of their dreams in Montecito, near Santa Barbara, although recent information assures that they

could be looking for a new house in Hope Ranch

(14 kilometers away) to have more privacy.

With nine bedrooms, more than a dozen bathrooms,

sauna, private cinema, swimming pool, tennis court

, chicken coop and children's playground;

surrounded by 2.8 hectares of greenery... It's hard to imagine that a family of four could want more.

The

mansion cost about 14 million dollars and they paid a nine million

euro mortgage.

Security is, however, the couple's top concern, after the six intrusion attempts they have had in recent months.

In the Netflix series you can see

Sunrise and sunset snapshots from the farm

, frequently visited by hummingbirds before Archie's astonished eyes.
