Meghan and Prince Harry have succeeded in becoming financially independent of the Royal Family in just six months. The couple have just signed a historic Netflix deal, believed to be worth approximately £74.5million, to produce documentaries on causes close to their hearts, such as female empowerment and climate change.
The Sussexes have also bought a lavish mansion in Santa Barbara and allegedly no longer require an allowance from Prince Charles.
Their whole lives have been turned upside down in half a year.
Many royal fans have suggested Meghan was the catalyst for this change.
She had been an official royal for less than two years before she and Harry made their bombshell announcement in January.
The couple have also returned to Meghan’s home state of California and are becoming more involved with the entertainment industry — the Duchess of Sussex was an established actress before becoming a royal.
She recently admitted that it was “good to be home, for so many reasons”, too.
However, commentator Tanya Gold suggested that Meghan’s lack of success behind Palace walls will have left her deeply frustrated at her inability to make her new role work.
Ms Gold explained: “She is a perfectionist, and her failure to succeed at royalty clearly grates.”
Her “perfectionist” nature was first spotted last year, when a professional graphologist Tracey Trussel noted the royal’s calligraphy showed her “perfectionist streak and desire for beauty and the nice things in life”.
The commentator went on to claim that the newly-published, sympathetic biography, ‘Finding Freedom’, was Meghan’s “testimony” for leaving the royal frontline.
However, both the authors and the Sussexes deny collaborating to produce the book.
Still, Ms Gold claimed that it “reads more like an autobiography”, and therefore provides insight into Meghan’s mind.
Writing last month, she opined: “This book says: ‘I did my best. I could not have done more.’
“But the truth is, [Meghan] did too much.”
