Current Title Status
Meghan is no longer styled as Her Royal Highness, and she does not currently hold the working royal title of Duchess of Sussex in the official sense used by the institution. The most recent public guidance from the institution, confirmed in early 2022, states that Harry and Meghan stepped back from senior royal roles and are no longer representing the Crown. The title Duchess of Sussex remains attached to Meghan through marriage, but it is not used in official contexts for public duties or financial reporting.
The institution's website and communications now refer to Harry and Meghan as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in a private capacity, separate from the working royals. This distinction affects how their titles are used in official documents, court communications, and corporate filings. As a result, Meghan does not perform formal royal engagements under the institution's banner, and her public profile is managed independently.
Financial and Corporate Activity
Meghan and Harry established their private entity, Archewell Inc., which operates across media, philanthropy, and commercial ventures. Archewell Inc. files public documents and reports in jurisdictions such as the United States, where it is registered as a nonprofit and a for-profit structure. The entity has secured deals with streaming platforms and production companies, and its financial disclosures show revenue streams from media partnerships and licensing.
Meghan has pursued individual brand partnerships and commercial projects outside the institution's ecosystem. These activities are structured through private companies and trusts, with limited public disclosure of exact revenue figures. Reports on net worth and earnings vary widely, but the couple's primary income sources now include media production, book deals, and paid speaking engagements.
Public and Legal Standing
Meghan retains the Duchess of Sussex title by marriage, but the institution no longer assigns her official duties or public funding. The couple's legal and financial affairs are handled through private counsel and registered entities in the United States and the United Kingdom. Their tax status, residency, and corporate registrations are subject to local laws and public filings.
Recent public records and news reports confirm that Harry and Meghan continue to use the Sussex titles informally, but they do not receive sovereign grants or taxpayer funding for official roles. Their security arrangements, commercial activities, and public appearances are managed outside the institution's operational framework. The latest public statements from both sides emphasize privacy and independence from the institution's traditional structures.
