To balance up the below video that says Meghan Markle has failed at everything; here's a quick checklist of successes.
Apparently she moves product. Everything she wears sells out within days. As a result, she's very popular amongst merchandisers.
Then, she was an angel investor in Clevr Blends, a coffee company. This business has grown and is now across America on Target and Whole Foods shelves.
Finally, the house in Montecito was bought for $14m with a $9m mortgage. It is now valued at $20m.
Meghan Markle is said to have bought the Montecito house off residuals from Suits. Residuals are usually a modest sum that helps bridge the gap between one role and another. But in her case, the engagement to Prince Harry saw people binge-watching every season. This resulted in a considerable sum for her.
The problem is Harry; he doesn't appear to know what work is.
This sudden move back to the UK does have the look of a separation. The UK media have been preparing the landscape all year. I think this move has been long planned and now the 'go' button has been pushed. The King has to repatriate his son. If he stayed in the US broke, he could fall prey to a wide range of dodgy types, including organised crime. If Harry failed, he was always going to be bailed out.
Edit to add 09/09/2026: Recent photos have emerged that show Prince Harry visiting Tower Bridge in London. On the same day a photo of Meghan Markle was released which looks like her garden, and she's with a match for her dog in California. The two are never seen in public together. The media appear insistent that the pair are in the UK, however there is no evidence of Meghan Markle, but there is evidence of Prince Harry's presence.
