Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Have Reportedly Hired Divorce Lawyers
There may be another royal divorce on the horizon, as one report claims Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have hired divorce lawyers. The couple – who are about to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary – reportedly hired counsel “months ago,” Sky News reports, though few other details are available.
For now, Harry and Meghan haven’t commented on the allegations. However, a former royal employee who was once close to Harry in childhood expressed belief that the reports are true.
Paul Burrell, who worked as Princess Diana’s butler until her passing in 1997, spoke to GB News in another report, where he alleged Harry has likely stayed in the marriage so long only for their children, Archie, 3, and Lili, 1.
“Am I the only person in the UK that is thinking, has Harry finally woken up to the truth? Has he finally seen the truth of what his wife is doing and that he’s been brainwashed and mesmerised by her beauty or something? Because we all know that, but he doesn’t seem to see it,” he claimed.
If Harry and Meghan do divorce, it could be a complicated process. It’s been reported that the couple didn’t sign a prenup prior to their 2018 wedding, so there may not be a clear way to divide their financial assets. By 2021, the couple had a joint net worth of $60 million.
When the couple relocated to California from the UK in 2020 after leaving their royal duties, they were reportedly living mainly on Harry’s trust funds. Harry’s mother Princess Diana left him a trust fund valued at $10 million after her death, which he gained full access to when he turned 30.
Harry’s late grandmother Queen Elizabeth also set up a trust fund for all of her grandchildren. Harry’s portion is reportedly valued at $18 million.
Moreover, Harry and Meghan have struck various media deals in recent years, which has significantly boosted their net worth. This includes a deal with Netflix estimated to be worth $100 million to produce original content. They also have a deal with Spotify, which is likely bringing in millions of revenue.
Though Harry and Meghan may be doing well financially since leaving the royal family, their bank accounts may take a dip should they proceed with a divorce, which, especially in Hollywood, can be a costly process.
