Despite stepping back from their royal duties, the large sum of money earned from book fees and speaking appearances would likely be donated to charities

Celeb and sports agent Darren Prince told TMZ the ex Royals could easily make between $8m and $10m as an advance on a book deal, prior to any royalty payments being accounted for.

He predicted the book deal could trigger a massive bidding war among publishers.

GDA Speakers, the Professional Keynote Speakers Bureau, believes Meghan and Harry could be hired to do speaking for non-profit and volunteer organizations.

Meghan and Harry revealed their hopes of becoming “financially independent” earlier this month.

About two weeks ago, experts suggested the couple could secure a book deal worth more than the $64million netted by Barack and Michelle Obama’s autobiographies to tell their “unfiltered” side of the “royal crisis”.

Ronn Torossian, CEO of New York-based PR firm5W Public Relations, told theDaily Mail that they are likely to be inspired by the former US president and first lady who signed a joint two-book deal at Penguin Random House worth a reported $64m in 2017.

He said: “They will definitely follow the Michelle and Barack model, and it will definitely work for them because people are incredibly thirsty for those royals.”

The pair are planning to set up a film and TV production company which will make worthy projects, sources say.
