How much Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's royal baby will be worth - and it's a fortune

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's first child is less than 48 hours old, but he's already a very, very rich little boy.

Both of his parents are worth a fortune individually, and his position in the Royal Family also entitles him to a few bob.

But how much is the little royal, who is seventh in line to the throne, actually worth?

While Prince Harry is estimated to worth a staggering £30m, Meghan made her own impressive fortune during her time as a TV actress.

Before marrying into the Royal Family, she was believed to be worth at  £3.5m ($5m) .

Her Suits salary - after 100 episodes and seven seasons - reportedly earned her £37,000 per episode, her annual salary being £333,000 when you add brand endorsements.

She also ran her blog Tig, which led to brand endorsements in food, travel and fashion - it's said she earned £60,000 from sponsorships.

According to Forbes, the Royal Family is believed to be worth £67billion thanks to their property portfolio, tourism and fashion.

Key difference between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton's royal baby official announcements  

It's hard to work out an exact amount as Baby Sussex is just a day old, but we can get a rough idea by looking at his cousins Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Reader's Digest  has estimated the net worth of each member of the royal family, and found that Charlotte is worth the most between the Cambridge kids.

Prince George is thought to be worth around £2.7billion, and Louis was predicted to boost the UK economy by £50million by his first birthday.

However Charlotte takes the cake with a net worth of a whopping $5billion - that's £3.8billion.

But Baby Sussex is unique in that he has ties in the UK and the US, and fans in America are equally excited about Meghan's first baby.

Betting on Meghan's due date and the baby's gender, weight and name was much, much higher than it was for the Cambridges - proving people are VERY excited about him.

Richard Haigh, managing director or Brand Finance, told Mirror Online: "Last year we valued the boost to the UK economy from Harry and Meghan’s Royal Wedding in Windsor at almost US$1.5bn.

"There’s no doubt that the UK will see an uptick in tourist numbers and visitors as a direct result of this royal baby ’s birth.

"The excitement of being able to look back and proudly proclaim that you were in the country at the time of the delivery of the royal baby is quite appealing, in particular with our friends on the other side of the pond in the USA.

"Beyond tourism, we can’t ignore the feel-good effect of such news, especially at a time of widespread national depression due to Brexit . This is a cause for celebration which will no doubt boost spending across bars, restaurants, souvenir shops and museums."
