Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will be 'paid exorbitantly' for their celebrity value in the US, a royal expert has said.
Biographer Kitty Kelley said the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be sought after as their royal link means they have something not even the biggest movie stars can claim.
Ms Kelley 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.
“Not even the biggest U.S. movie star or sports giant can claim Harry and Meghan’s link to the British monarchy.”

A feature in the newspaper claimed the royal couple were "reinventing themselves as multihyphenate American celebrities, the kind who dabble in content, philanthropy, technology and a tasteful dash of politics."
It also described the couple as a 'brand'.
When Meghan and Harry first stepped down as working royals, PR experts predicted they could become the world's best paid celebrity couple.
Ronn Torossian, of New York PR firm 5W Public Relations, told the Mail Online: "Their earning power – both individually and as a couple – is limitless in all aspects of endorsements.
"Whether appearances, brand partnerships or more, they could make eight or nine figures annually with endorsement deals.’"
Meghan is known to have a host of celebrity friends in America, where the couple now live with their son Archie.
But Harry also seems to be making a positive impression.
The Duke of Sussex received a standing ovation at a charity concert from US fans who said "he belongs to us now".
He returned to the spotlight on Sunday night at the star-studded Vax Live gig in Los Angeles and walked on stage to rapturous from an audience of adoring fans.
Harry's name was flashed up in lights and the crowd went wild as he took to the stage in a rare appearance without his wife , who is expecting the couple's second child.
One fan, commenting on a video posted on Twitter of the event, wrote: "This is how America treats human beings unlike England treats Meghan.
"Harry belongs to us now."
Another tweeted: "This reaction for Prince Harry in California at #VaxLive is really something."
