MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry are expected to be paid "exorbitantly" in the US as a result of their Royal links, an expert has claimed. <\/p>\n

Celebrity biographer Kitty Kelley says the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be "sought after" over the pond because they can boast a rare connection other US celebs will never achieve.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ms Kelley, who wrote about the Kennedy family, Oprah Winfrey and the royals among others, told the Washington Post: "Harry and Meghan will be sought after socially in America and paid generously (some might say exorbitantly) for their celebrity value.<\/p>\n

"Not even the biggest US movie star or sports giant can claim Harry and Meghan's link to the British monarchy."<\/p>\n

Meghan and Harry announced last year they were quitting as royals, saying they wanted to become financially independent.<\/p>\n

They had previously\u00a0agreed to no longer use their HRH titles as part of the initial Megxit agreement.<\/p>\n

And Buckingham Palace\u00a0confirmed the couple would lose their patronages, with Harry being stripped of his honorary military titles as part of the agreement.<\/p>\n

In turn, they could live abroad and pursue financially profitable deals.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They can also still be known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after being given the titles as a wedding gift at their 2018 nuptials at Windsor Castle.<\/p>\n

The pair style themselves as such on their Archwell website and get introduced with their royal titles at events – outshining fellow celebrity guests.<\/p>\n

Harry also remains sixth-in-line to the throne – followed by his son Archie and soon by his daughter, to be born during the summer, again boosting his USP.<\/p>\n

And he got a standing ovation as he appeared solo at a Covid concert last night – with US fans saying "he belongs to us now".<\/p>\n

The Duke\u00a0was among a bevy of big names taking part in the taping of the show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood,\u00a0California, due to air on May 8.<\/p>\n

And thrilled viewers went online to express their joy at his segment, with one writing: "This is how America treats human beings unlike England treats Meghan. Harry belongs to us now."<\/p>\n

Another said: "This reaction for Prince Harry in California at #VaxLive is really something. Somehow doubt that anyone other than the Queen or his late mother would get similar."<\/p>\n

Harry and Meghan are serving as Campaign Chairs ofVAX Live, which\u00a0"aims to inspire vaccine confidence worldwide and help get the Covid-19 vaccines to everyone, everywhere" according to a statement by Global Citizen.<\/p>\n

It comes after the couple struck a string of mega-bucks deals last year, with a \u00a3100million Netflix deal and \u00a330million Spotify win among them. <\/p>\n

They also reportedly signed with the Henry Walker agency for future speaking engagements back in June last year.<\/p>\n
