Meghan Markle has some big goals; while she may not be aware of it, Prince William has a say on them.
Not many will be surprised to discover that Markle does not like Prince William’s thoughts on her actions.
Since stepping down from her royal duties, the former actress has seized every business opportunity without hesitation, even if her choices ruffle royal feathers.
Markle is dabbling in sales, reality series, and being a fashion and lifestyle expert. Prince Harry‘s wife has become an author, podcast host, and more, with one ultimate goal — to join Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift‘s prestigious club of billionaires.
A source confirmed to the Telegraph via the New York Post that Markle believes her multiple endeavors will make her more than a billion dollars.
The insider, who is close to Markle’s business operations, explained to the Telegraph: “The former working royal thinks she’s going to be a billionaire and that the team she’s assembled will help her achieve that goal.”
Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand As Ever has sold out minutes after launching a series of products, including jams and teas.
Her Netflix series With Love, Meghan has received a second season, although there is some debate about the matter because the two seasons were filmed together.
She is set to launch a new podcast called Confessions of a Female Founder with Lemonada Media, and judging by how fast the trailer went viral; she will attract listeners — some will tune in to support her, and others will mock her.
Either way, she is getting great numbers. That is all that matters to succeed in business.
Markle has also launched her own business and is doing affiliate marketing with ShopMy page, where she shares links to a long list of items and receives a commission on them.
However, Markle’s billionaire plans have not been without controversy, sparking intense public and Royal Family scrutiny.
According to palace sources, some Royal Family members, including King Charles III, are irked by Markle’s manner of pursuing wealth.
Prince William, in particular, is not pleased with Markle’s decision to use her royal title, the Duchess of Sussex, to sell products.
A royal insider stated via Page Six: “Have they lost all their money? This is probably Meghan’s own idea. She probably got the offers once she rejoined Instagram, but it’s so crass.”
Another royal source called the new site “shameless,” then added: “This has always been Meghan’s Achilles heel — applying celebrity status to the royal family as public servants, wanting to monetize her status. But blending the celebrity common practice of accepting things for free with public service doesn’t work.”
A royal insider told News Nation the Royal Family is against Markle’s clear move to monetize her title and went on to say: “You do not monetize the monarchy. It’s just tacky and classless. She could have used her name, Meghan Markle, or even Meghan Sussex, but to promote the page as Meghan, Duchess of Sussex? It’s hideous.”
However, in a recent interview, Markle addressed the royal’s concerns about her business decisions.
She made it clear that she would continue with her plans to dominate many industries because she needs the money and also required to work for her young children.
Markle sat down for an interview with the New York Times and shared her reasons for always working.
According to the piece: “Why would someone who has for years endured the worst kind of public attention put herself back under the microscope? One reason, of course, is money. The other reason is personal. “I need to work, and I love to work,” she said, pointing out that until she met Harry, she hadn’t been without a job since she was 13. With two young children to raise, she said, “This is a way I can connect my home life and my work.” (Prince Archie is five and Princess Lilibet is 3; they are sixth and seventh in line to the throne.)”
Markle is trying to be transparenet about her business moves.
