Aw snap, The Sun just said Meghan and Harry want to make money off their fame. You guys are all in shock I'm sure... It's like they think bringing down the monarchy is some joke to them, they want to be The Royal Kardashians.
What do you think the Queen will do?
PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle could make millions from lucrative commercial deals after they announced they are quitting as senior royals.
In an unprecedented statement on the couple's new website, the couple announced they would be seeking 'financial independence' after stepping down from their royal duties.

Until now the Sussexes have been ‘prohibited from earning any income in any form’ - but could now pull in huge sums on the international celebrity circuit.Prince Harry could join the world's top speakers in demanding up to £400,000 for a single address at private events.
He has become an accomplished public speaker in recent years through his roles in leading the Invictus Games and other charity commitments.
The Sussexes recently trademarked 100 items including clothing, calendars and postcards - hinting they may be set to start selling their own merchandise.
Before marrying Harry, Meghan earned around £60,000 a year through her lifestyle blog The Tig and could be expected to rake in much more now given her status across the globe.
She also previously commanded £330,000 a series for her role US drama series Suits and would demand much higher fees if she were to return to acting.
Harry and Meghan currently benefit from around £2 million per year from Prince Charles' Duchy of Cornwall income.
