Meghan Markle may have been paid up to $700,000 as an advance for her kids’ book, according to Prince Harry’s biographer.
Angela Levin told the Sun that while the Duchess of Sussex’s financial deal has not been disclosed, “there are rumors that she was offered £500,000 advance,” which is equivalent to $695,400.
“But we don’t know, even if she has been offered this massive advance, whether she will give any money away to charity or whether she will keep it for herself,” noted Levin.
“They’ve got a lot of expenses, what with their guards and big house and 16 bathrooms to look after,” she said of the Sussexes’ new financially independent life in a sprawling mansion in California.
Levin — who combined her interviews with Harry in the 2018 book “Harry: Conversations with the Prince” — called it “laughable” that Markle used her Duchess of Sussex title for her debut book, “The Bench.”
“They wanted to get away from the royal family, they hated the royal family — they felt trapped,” she noted of the couple’s gripes during their TV tell-all with Oprah Winfrey.
“They didn’t like it, they wanted freedom and they’ve got freedom. You can’t have everything you want like that,” Levin insisted.
“You don’t use your royal position to make commercial gain,” she said.
She said the planned price for “The Bench” — £12.99 in the UK, and $18.99 in the US — is “not extortionate.”
“But I’m not quite sure who will read it,” she said.
“Little children I don’t think will read that, maybe it will be people who just want to know what she’s up to now.”
