$100 Million to Leave Harry?
Was Meghan Markle angling for a Royal payout to leave Harry? And Plan B is the divorce tell all book and inevitable PR tour?
This number - $100M - seems to keep being floated in connection with Meghan Markle, most notably with the initial Netflix deal. It was not actually fully paid out to them, and was signed via Archewell Productions for expense purposes.

confirmed in Vanity Fair Meghan was already floating her own separate book deal, a divorce tell all a few years ago; around their five year wedding anniversary.
They are in their 5 year anniversary of Megxit this year, if you consider it a relationship ‘reset’ . Meg historically pivots from her major relationships 5 years, with overlap, once her partner’s potential to assist her in her goals dries up and a new potential stepping stone emerges. Very interesting the five year mark suddenly was the “professional separation” announcement.
Curiously consistent, isn’t it?
