After countless interviews, a Netflix series, and a revealing book, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear to be inching toward a quieter life in the United States. Undoubtedly, their numerous accusations, revelations, and criticisms directed at the British Royal Family have left a lasting impact on their royal relatives across the pond in the UK.
Although Harry and Meghan have yet to announce any new projects in the US, the substantial earnings they reportedly received for their Netflix documentary series and Harry’s book, «Spare,» should provide them financial stability for the foreseeable future.
While the couple has been busy establishing a new life since their move to the US, not everything appears to be running smoothly. According to Hollywood insider and broadcaster Tim Dillon, Meghan is eager to socialize with friends in Los Angeles, which is roughly an hour and a half from their home. However, some of Meghan’s friends may not share the same enthusiasm, as she is reportedly perceived by some as a minor reality TV personality.
Harry’s recent visit to the UK and his «reunion» with his family was brief. He arrived in London just before his father’s historic coronation and departed shortly after the ceremony at Westminster Abbey. Although King Charles extended an invitation to Harry for a more private lunch later that day, the Duke chose to return to the US to be with his family on his son Archie’s birthday.
Certain members of the royal family were said to have felt relief when Harry skipped the private lunch, which might not be surprising given the recent comments Harry has made about the family, especially in his tell-all memoir.
Harry’s book proved to be a massive success, with reports suggesting he received $20 million for writing «Spare,» and his publisher, Penguin Random House, was pleased with the sales figures. It’s reasonable to assume that Harry could potentially produce a second book from the material that didn’t make it into the final manuscript for «Spare.»
Interestingly, there might be another significant project in the pipeline. Earlier this year, a senior industry source revealed to the Express that Penguin Random House was taken aback by the success of Harry’s book, and there is now pressure to persuade Meghan Markle to write her own book.
Harry and Meghan’s four-book deal with the publisher reportedly included an astonishing $20 million advance, with global royalties for Harry’s book potentially surpassing $120 million. An industry source described the sales figures as «surprising to everyone.»
