The post drew likes from Lauren Sánchez Bezos and Jamie Kern Lima, the founder of IT Cosmetics and a close friend of Meghan’s. Those relationships are notable because Page Six reports that Meghan has a circle of wealthy and influential female friends who are prepared to help support her next business phase.
Kern Lima reportedly flew Meghan to the G9 Ventures Summer Summit in the Hamptons in July 2024. The event was hosted by investor Amy Griffin and took place before Meghan’s business launch.
How OneOff fits into Meghan’s money strategy
Last month, Meghan joined OneOff, an AI-powered fashion discovery platform, as both an investor and featured participant. Her personal “exclusive edits” are set to be available for users to browse and purchase.
The platform also features investors and celebrities including Suki Waterhouse, Emma Chamberlain, Kate Hudson and Shay Mitchell.
For Meghan, the arrangement lets fans shop items connected to her wardrobe, including looks from her recent Australia tour. She earns a percentage from sales, a model that has already drawn criticism from some observers who argue it risks placing commercial activity ahead of philanthropic positioning.
People close to Meghan told Page Six that more than two dozen products from the Australia tour sold out. OneOff cofounder and chief executive officer Emir Talu told WWD: “OneOff surpassed 1-plus million views of outfits on the site in the first three days since Meghan launched her page on the platform.”
While in Australia, Meghan also hosted a girls’ weekend tied to the Her Best Life Retreat in Coogee, Sydney. Guests paid up to $3,199 to attend, although she reportedly stayed for only two hours. Efficient, if not exactly immersive.
What happened with Netflix and As Ever
Netflix and Meghan ended their As Ever partnership in April after Page Six reported that the related show, “With Love, Meghan,” would not return for a third season.
Sources close to Meghan then let it be known that she had been left to “carry the whole thing by herself,” a claim that reportedly irritated some Netflix staffers. That detail matters because the end of the partnership shifted more of the commercial load back onto Meghan’s own brand-building operation.
There have also been rumors that Meghan has been speaking with Hollywood executives about returning to acting. This week, sources claimed the former “Suits” star, who has a cameo in the upcoming film “Close Personal Friends,” was seeking a steady role on a television show.
Sussex insiders strongly denied that claim. Page Six said it has contacted representatives for the Sussexes for comment.
Where Prince Harry’s income fits in
Prince Harry, 41, was reportedly not paid for his speaking appearance at Melbourne’s InterEdge Summit during the couple’s quasi-royal Australian visit.
His main work remains centered on the Invictus Games, the sporting event he founded for wounded service personnel, and other philanthropic efforts. He also joined Silicon Valley mental-health startup BetterUp in 2021 as chief impact officer, with a rumored annual salary of $1 million.
Harry is still listed on BetterUp’s website, and sources confirmed to Page Six that he continues to work there. However, the Daily Beast reported in August 2024 that some staffers viewed his role as unclear. One former employee told the outlet that the prince’s day-to-day responsibilities included “zero things.”
That report arrived during a difficult period for BetterUp. The company had laid off about 16% of its workforce after, according to two Daily Beast sources, missing revenue projections. It also faced a backlash from contractor coaches after changes to their pay structure.
The UK security question is still unresolved
Harry is also hoping to bring his family back to the United Kingdom in July for a one-year countdown event ahead of the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham.
That plan depends on whether the government approves security for the family while they are in Harry’s home country. For the Sussexes, security remains both a personal concern and a major financial line item, which is a neat summary of the wider problem: public visibility can help create income, but it also helps create the bill.
