Meghan assured when speaking with Oprah that they no longer had anything to lose. The truth is that now they have won, a lot, economically and for reasons unrelated to the interview.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are on everyone's lips after their controversial interview with the popular American presenter and friend of the couple, Oprah Winfrey.
Accusations of racism by a member of the royal family and confessions of suicidal thoughts by the Duchess of Sussex formed the perfect explosive combination for the issue to have occupied headlines in the media around the world for days.
Meghan assured when speaking with Oprah that they no longer had anything to lose. The truth is that now they have won, a lot, economically and for reasons unrelated to the interview.
Last year, the couple bought their nine-bedroom, 16-bathroom mansion worth €11.6 million in Montecito, California. In addition to its nine bedrooms, the house has a gym, spa, cinema, separate guest house, tennis court and swimming pool.
Now, the impressive house in which they live with their son Archie, could have been revalued by 35 million euros according to real estate agent Randy Solakianm, who assures that since the summer, the real estate market in the area has "gone crazy."
Solakianm knows Harry and Meghan's house well because he represented the couple who built it when they sold it to the Sussexes' previous owner, Sergey Grishin, a Russian businessman.
Highlighting how the house had tripled in value, Solakian told The Times that the Sussexes "got a bargain".
For her part, Sandy Stahl, a real estate agent with Sotheby's International Realty, has spoken to the same newspaper and clarified that the explosion in the Montecito real estate market was not due to the arrival of Harry and Meghan, so the move of the pairing has turned out to be a "really smart move."
Stahl has claimed that the Sussexes could now sell the house for "at least double what they paid".
The Duke of Sussex claimed during the interview with Oprah Winfrey that his family "literally cut me off financially" after he and his wife Meghan Markle chose to move to the United States. But we cannot ignore the inheritance that Harry received from his mother and his great-grandmother, as well as the lucrative agreements that he and Meghan signed with Netflix and Spotify. His net worth is believed to be around €116 million.
Harry, 36, and his brother Guillermo inherited 24.5 million euros from Lady Di. The money was held in trust until they were 25 years old. Prince Charles's youngest son also received a smaller figure from the Queen Mother's will after her death in 2002, putting his total estate at around €26.7 million, estimates the The Times.
