Let's be real here, folks. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are one of the most beloved royal couples in modern history. We all want nothing but the best for them, but hey, even fairy tales can have plot twists. High-profile Hollywood romances don’t always last forever, and even royal marriages aren’t immune to challenges. Remember Princess Diana and Prince Charles? Or Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York? So, what would actually happen if Meghan and Harry were to call it quits?

Divorce Could Be a Financial Windfall for Meghan

Here's the thing: if Meghan and Harry were to divorce, it could turn out to be quite the payday for Meghan. Why? Because, as far as we know, they didn’t sign a prenuptial agreement. And let’s be honest, that’s not exactly unusual in the royal family. Neither Prince Charles nor Prince William opted for prenups either. “I don’t think members of the royal family sign prenuptial agreements,” said Katie Nicholl, author of Harry: Life, Loss, and Love, in an interview with Town & Country. “It’s one thing for celebrities to have prenups, but this is a royal marriage, not a Hollywood fling.”

Now, you might be wondering why that matters. Well, without a prenup, any assets or wealth accumulated during the marriage are fair game in a divorce settlement. And trust me, we’re talking about some serious money here.

How Would a Divorce Work in the UK?

In the UK, prenuptial agreements exist, but they’re not binding by law. Instead, they serve more as a guideline for judges during divorce proceedings. According to international divorce lawyer Jeremy D. Morely, who spoke to TMZ back in December 2017, all assets accumulated during the marriage are up for grabs—not just what each spouse brought into the union. For example, when Princess Diana divorced Prince Charles, she reportedly walked away with $23 million. That’s no small change!

Breaking Down the Numbers

Now, let’s talk numbers. Meghan reportedly has around $5 million of her own, but Prince Harry? Well, he’s sitting on an estimated $40 million fortune. And that’s not all—he, along with Prince William and Kate Middleton, also receive income from Prince Charles’ private estate. In 2016 alone, they split a cool $4.4 million in income. So, if the marriage were to end, Meghan could potentially be looking at a significant chunk of that wealth.

What Would a Royal Divorce Look Like?

Here’s the kicker: if Meghan and Harry were to divorce, we might not hear all the juicy details. Why? Because royal divorces tend to happen behind closed doors. “In the modern history of the royal family, divorces are described as amicable for PR purposes,” explained Duncan Larcombe, author of Prince Harry: The Inside Story, in an interview with Town & Country. “The person leaving the royal family is usually taken care of, and these arrangements are made privately, not in court.”

Take Princess Diana, for instance. When she and Prince Charles divorced, she didn’t just walk away with a hefty financial settlement. She also received a new title and even a security detail. So, while we might not get all the specifics, it’s safe to say Meghan would be well looked after.

Will It Happen? Probably Not

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. There’s absolutely no reason to think that Harry and Meghan’s story won’t end in happily ever after. These two have built a life together filled with love, laughter, and purpose. And honestly, that’s all we can ask for, right?
