Highlights
- Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor’s exact net worth is unclear, but it is widely assumed to be around $10 million, the same as her brother Archie.
- The entire royal family, including King Charles and Prince William, is reportedly worth $28 billion, making it unlikely that Archie and Lilibet are worth billions themselves.
- Meghan and Harry’s departure from the royal family has made it harder to determine their finances, but their children’s estimated net worths could be influenced by their media deals and other earnings.
Part of being a royal is having a massive net worth, but just how big is the Sussexes’ fortune? Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to be worth millions, but there’s also been speculation about the net worths of their children.
Archie and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor may have been born to wealthy parents, one of them a royal, but that doesn’t mean they were immediately millionaires — or billionaires — as soon as they were born. Here’s everything we know about Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor’s net worth, and how it could grow.
How Much Is Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor Worth?
Harry and Meghan’s second child was once rumored to have a worth totaling billions of dollars
When Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor was born in 2001, she may have already been worth billions of dollars, according to various sources. The details are a bit fuzzy, however.
The List echoed a quote of $10 billion for Archie and Lilibet each upon their births, but the source for that statistic no longer appears to exist. Various sources suggest that any “billions” were assumed from Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s worths, not their children’s necessarily, but that also seems to be a bit of an exaggeration.
Did Leaving The Royal Family Actually Impact Prince Harry’s Net Worth?
Prince Harry said ‘goodbye’ to most of his Royal Family privileges, but here’s whether or not he actually profited from the choice.
In fact, the entire royal family is reportedly worth $28 billion. That’s everyone — from King Charles to Prince William and Prince Harry’s families, plus cousins — and at least a dozen or so people. If Archie and Lilibet were both worth $10 billion each, that would mean the rest of the family was worth far less, which doesn’t seem logical.
King Charles was worth around $100 million in 2022, then his net worth exploded to $600 million as he ascended the throne, per The List.
In Purewow‘s breakdown, Harry and Meghan were worth a total of $60 million max, though later reports suggest that Meghan’s net worth increased after leaving the royal family.
A More Realistic Net Worth For Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor Is Around $10 Million
Other sources suggest Lilibet’s net worth hovers in the lower millions
There may not be one true source for Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor’s net worth, but it’s widely assumed that she is worth about $10 million, the same as her brother Archie. Some sources call the children’s net worths “TBD” for “to be determined,” suggesting that the entire financial picture is, as yet, unclear.
Meghan Markle Returns To Acting In Embarrassing Ad As She Tries To Save Career
Critics are calling Meghan’s cameo “desperate,” but the actress is reportedly on a mission to save her career any way she can.
Since Meghan and Harry aren’t royals anymore, their finances are harder to uncover these days, especially as they have earned book deals, produced TV shows, and given high-profile interviews. Of course, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex also lost millions in media deals, which could also influence their children’s estimated net worths.
Both Lilibet And Brother Archie Mountbatten-Windsor Stimulated The UK Economy
Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor’s net worth isn’t the entire financial picture
Meghan Markle is said to be quite spendy, but it also turns out that her children essentially stimulated the economy in the UK starting when they were born. Archie, being the first child to Meghan and Harry, garnered plenty of media attention. His birth was said to have spurred souvenir sales upwards of $65 million.
As for Lilibet, her exact influence on the economy wasn’t tracked as closely as Archie’s, given that Meghan and Harry were no longer royals by the time she arrived, but it would make sense if both children helped encourage spending.
Meghan And Harry Consider Moving Back To London As California Becomes Too Expensive
Amid rumors of money problems, Harry and Meghan have reportedly reached out to the royal family to get their former jobs back.
The monarchy as a whole was said to be a net positive for the UK economy, according to a branding company. Events like King Charles’ coronation created a one-time economic contribution of £761 million (over USD 970 million).
Yet because the Sussexes are no longer officially part of the royal family, it would make sense if they and their children are no longer contributing as much to the economy. Since they live in the US, there are also no incidental costs — such as there were with Charles’ coronation — like parties, homes to keep up, or vehicle fleets.
There is something to be said for Meghan and Harry continuing to spur the public to tune in to the royal family’s lives — including watching interviews and specials featuring the Duke and Duchess — and read Harry and Meghan’s books.
Prince Harry’s memoir Spare was also said to have earned the former royal at least $20 million, though he said he would give any proceeds from the book to UK charities. To date, he has reportedly done so, though it’s not clear just how much money the book has made.
