0:41

and welcome to balance intrigue. I'm your

0:43

host My Francis The Mirror reported on

0:45

Hurry and Megan's net worth Four years

0:47

after stepping down from their roles a

0:50

senior working Royals Prince Harry the Mega

0:52

Muggles combined net worth has been estimated

0:54

at sixty million dollars. The couple who

0:56

knows I'd in a lavish forty million

0:58

dollar mansion in Montecito have managed to

1:00

secure their financial independence despite the challenges

1:02

faced since the at Royal to punch

1:04

him. Since. They moved to the

1:07

United States. Prince Harry and Megan have

1:09

secured several lucrative deals in Twenty Twenty.

1:11

They signed the do with Netflix

1:13

reportedly worth around one hundred million dollars.

1:16

The couple also secured a twenty million

1:18

dollar advance from Publish Your Penguin Random

1:20

House for a reported for book deal

1:23

would include a Prince Harry's memoir Spare.

1:25

Additionally, the Sussex is signed at Twenty

1:27

five million dollar deal with Spot

1:29

Violate to the Twenty, which saw Megan

1:32

release her Archetypes podcast. However, the couple

1:34

and Spotify have recently parted ways with

1:36

a Spotify executive allegedly branding them every

1:39

Grifters. Prior. To marry

1:41

into the British Royal family. Meghan was

1:43

an actress working on the hit legal

1:45

drama Suits. When she learned a reported

1:47

fifty thousand dollars per episode, her estimated

1:49

net worth before joining the Royal family

1:51

was around five million dollars. As working

1:53

royals, a couple received ninety five percent

1:55

of their annual income from King Charles,

1:57

with the remaining five percent coming from

1:59

text. a taxpayer-funded sovereign grant. Upon

2:02

their departure from royal duties, King Charles reportedly

2:04

gave them a substantial sum to help with

2:06

the transition. Looking ahead, Meghan

2:09

Markle is preparing to launch her new

2:11

brand, American Riviera Orchard, offering

2:13

a range of products including

2:15

fragrance, sachets, non-medicated skincare preparations,

2:18

bath and shower gels, soaps, lotions and

2:20

cosmetics. She'll also host a cooking show

2:22

for Netflix, while Queen Elizabeth rolls over

2:24

in a grave. Meghan

2:27

expert Angela Levin told GB News, Meghan could have

2:29

had it all. I remember the King saying how

2:31

happy he was that she had joined the family

2:34

and she would understand them because she comes from

2:36

a divorced background. That was

2:38

very kind and accepting of her, but it's

2:40

foolish. Levin also did not

2:42

have kind things to say about American Riviera

2:44

Orchard. Putting up one page

2:46

for her new website was ridiculous because nothing has followed

2:48

it. That's because people don't want to put money into

2:51

it. They know what she is like. They know that

2:53

she is very difficult and they are not necessarily wanting

2:55

to buy a jam and a tablecloth. There

2:58

is nothing there and the timing of that just before

3:00

Harry spoke about his mother and her charity in respect

3:02

of her passing, Meghan took away his

3:04

spotlight moment and that was very cruel. She

3:07

did it really because she couldn't bear him to be

3:09

in the spotlight. New

3:11

York Magazine shared the life of being

3:13

a royal reporter. We learned the life

3:15

of a royal correspondent is structured around

3:17

the official engagement. It wasn't always

3:19

the case, but as the job has changed, the

3:22

official engagements are the best chance to see the

3:24

working royals in action and the best chance to

3:26

talk to officials, the people who work for them.

3:29

Those official engagements are very choreographed and

3:31

often the story is when the choreography

3:33

goes wrong or when something unexpected happens.

3:36

So when they first announced on the same day that

3:38

both Kate and Charles were going into a hospital and

3:40

both were going to need a period of recuperation, I

3:42

think the feeling was, what are we going to do?

3:44

There is not going to be anything to write for

3:46

a couple of months. Of course, it

3:49

hasn't turned out like that. It's been crazy. The

3:51

Working day has partly been reacting to all the

3:53

rumors. It was pressure from editors to come up

3:55

with a fresh story, a fresh line, trying to

3:58

weigh how seriously to take some of the stories.

4:00

that's what you are reading from elsewhere from abroad

4:02

in particular because she gets he married and persistent.

4:04

Deeply involved in all of this we were always

4:06

in a difficult position. I just saw a being

4:09

reporter makes you just get the facts in any

4:11

till the raiders What the facts were spit on

4:13

The Royal Beat is much more than that. You

4:15

have to think well one of the mean is

4:18

going to say the editors think how's it going

4:20

to look we're that situation where keep hadn't seen

4:22

says Christmas within backlit had taken a picture of

4:24

her in a car travelling with a mother. A

4:26

couple of people claim that the British Papers decided

4:29

not to run that. By two, because the palace

4:31

siege pressure on them not to do it's as

4:33

far as I'm aware of. Some the case and

4:35

the papers decided it's probably not going to be

4:37

a good look if we run those pictures. Of

4:40

course the reason selves are hypocrites. So every person

4:43

a bit in the last three months whether they

4:45

are odd with Monica, some Republicans are just completely

4:47

indifferent to ask me what's really going on with

4:49

case and what about the king or type of

4:52

cancer is he got. The truth is I don't

4:54

think anybody in the media new but I think

4:56

everybody thinks are they will. You know what's going

4:58

on but we didn't This period took me back

5:01

to allows days of the Queen and Prince Philip's

5:03

when they were constant rumors like opens Philip died

5:05

can you in the palace a check is a

5:07

special correspondent you get absolutely set up with if

5:10

you're tempted. To say of course he hasn't

5:12

died don't be ridiculous. But you're also worried that

5:14

one time you say that will be the one

5:16

time that does, it really has happened. As

5:19

it would, British monarchy is going to need to

5:21

make a bit of a splash perhaps the second

5:23

half of this year or early next year to

5:25

get things back on track because it just feels

5:27

of things have been derailed. If they don't come

5:30

back that strongly than that. I think will be

5:32

a worry for the British monarchy because is a

5:34

very small cast of characters. Can people actually care

5:36

about. To be frank with

5:38

you, as a Edward and Sophie, a lovely

5:40

and Princess Anne is very popular and is

5:42

admired for just doing that old fashioned work,

5:45

opening the hospitals, going to charity shops, whatever

5:47

is really just the king and Queen and

5:49

women kate through at the box office. and

5:52

of course we did have harry and make him and

5:54

that's the other element to it that in spite of

5:56

what a lot of people abroad think the british press

5:58

wanted her in make him to be They

6:00

embraced Megan. They thought that she was fantastic

6:02

box office material who would help sell a

6:04

lot of papers, bring about a lot of

6:06

clicks. But we've lost them and I don't

6:09

think there's much prospect of them coming back

6:11

for now because I don't think

6:13

the future of the monarchy lies in part-time

7:23

Despite previously insisting that he was done

7:25

with the Royal Family after the conclusion

7:27

of the controversial sixth series of The

7:29

Crown, writer Peter Morgan may be tempted

7:31

to return to the subject. Insiders

7:33

suggest he remains intrigued by two royal

7:36

stories he might decide to tell. The

7:38

abdication of Edward VIII in 1936 to

7:40

marry divorcee Wallace Simpson and

7:42

the tale of Queen Mary worth

7:45

of George V. The

7:47

idea would be to create a mini-series or a couple of

7:49

them for Netflix. James reportedly working

7:51

with one of these senior producers from The

7:53

Crown, although at this point it's all informal

7:55

with no contracts signed or deals done. A

7:58

source says, slightly traumatized by the

8:00

time he got to the end of The Clown, but Peter

8:03

is circling a couple of ideas again and we shall see

8:05

where it ends up. King Edward

8:07

VIII's abdication after a reign of just 325

8:10

days was announced in the BBC

8:12

broadcast where he told his subjects, I have

8:14

found it impossible to carry the heavy burden

8:17

of responsibility and to discharge my duties as

8:19

king as I would wish to do without

8:21

the help and support of the woman I

8:23

love. Simpson, a twice-divorced American socialite, caused

8:26

a constitutional crisis due to the king's

8:28

infatuation with her. However, the

8:30

other story intriguing Morgan is that of

8:32

Edward's mother, Queen Mary. Initially

8:35

engaged to her cousin, Prince Albert, who

8:37

was second in line to the throne but

8:39

died during an influenza outbreak, Mary became engaged

8:41

to his brother George the following year. George

8:44

later became King George V. As

8:47

queen consort, Mary instituted an austerity drive at

8:49

Buckingham Palace during World War I. Her youngest

8:52

son, John, who had epileptic seizures and was

8:54

kept out of the public eye, died in

8:56

1919 at the age of 13 without attending

8:58

his father's coronation.

9:01

While a friend of Morgan's confirmed he is

9:03

considering these new royal stories, they

9:05

added that in the immediate future he is

9:08

focusing on a number of different projects. And
