Meghan Markle vs. Kate Middleton Net Worth: Who Is The Richer Royal Wife?

Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton are British tabloids’ favorite people to pit against each other. But Markle cleared the air regarding rumors of a feud between them when she described her sister-in-law as a "good person" during her bombshell tell-all with Oprah Winfrey. Here’s where their net worth currently stands as a working royal (Middleton) and a former senior member of the British royal family (Markle).

Markle was an established actress long before she married into royalty. Celebrity Net Worth puts the Duchess of Sussex's current net worth at $50 million, combined with the fortune of her husband Prince Harry.

Markle started her showbiz career at age 20, appearing as Jill in the medical drama "General Hospital" in 2002, BBC reported. She went on to grace other television shows, including "CSI," "Without a Trace" and "Castle," as well as movies such as "Horrible Bosses."

It was her stint on USA Network’s legal drama Suits that really put Markle on the map. She was part of the original cast of the drama and played paralegal-turned-lawyer Rachel Zane for seven seasons. Her character was only written out before she tied the knot with Prince Harry in 2018, per BBC.

However, her time as a working member of the British royal institution did not last long. Markle and Prince Harry stepped back from royal duties last year and moved to California with their son, Archie. Since quitting their royal life in the U.K., the couple has signed multimillion-dollar deals with Spotify and Netflix for content production.

Middleton, on the other hand, is still a working royal and is said to have a net worth of $10 million, per Celebrity Net Worth.

As a member of the British royal family, the Duchess of Cambridge's expenses are covered by the Duchy of Cornwall, Forbes reported. The duchy is a trust that consists of 131,000 acres of real estate and more than $450 million in commercial assets across the U.K.

The future queen consort worked for a few years in the fashion industry. She was a procurer of jewelry for fashion retailer Jigsaw. After her stint at the retailer, she joined her family’s company, Party Pieces.

Prince William's wife now spends most of her time as a royal working to advance child welfare and mental health. She is the patron of many charities and groups, including Action for Children, Action on Addiction and Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, among others.

At the end of the day, both women are making their mark with their own achievements and are advocating for causes they are passionate about. Markle said it best during her sit-down with Winfrey: “If you love me, you don't have to hate her. And if you love her, you don't need to hate me."
