Meghan Markle’s New Divorce Demands Exposed
Radar Online seems to have the scoop on Meghan Markle’s latest divorce demands, and let me tell you, it’s juicy. According to insiders, Meghan has secretly made a split deal, demanding cash, her royal title, and property. Yes, you heard that right—cash, title, and property.
Cash: Meghan is reportedly demanding a hefty settlement, aiming for a financial arrangement that rivals Sarah Ferguson’s divorce from Prince Andrew back in 1996.
Title: She wants to keep her royal title, specifically the HRH (Her Royal Highness) designation.
Property: She’s also eyeing to keep their lavish Montecito home.
An insider revealed, “Megan has made it clear that if and when they do split—when, not if—she would demand a hefty settlement and to keep her royal title.” The source added that Meghan has instructed her lawyers to ensure she walks away with a title, property, and a massive stack of cash.
The insider also mentioned that the pressure has become unbearable for the couple. “They’re closely watched, criticized, chastised, and insulted,” the source said. And honestly, can we blame them? The explosive dynamic between Harry and Meghan is nothing new.
In Harry’s memoir, Spare, he admitted to snapping at Meghan during a drunken tirade, saying he spoke to her harshly and cruelly. When he went to apologize, Meghan sternly told him she would never stand for being spoken to like that. Now, insiders claim this tension has reached a breaking point, and they’re realizing life might be better spent apart.
Royal Divorce Precedents: What Happens Next?
Now, let’s talk about royal divorce precedents. I did some digging into what happened with Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson (the Duchess of York) during their divorces to see what Meghan might expect. Here’s what I found:
1. Titles
Princess Diana: Kept her title as “Princess of Wales” but lost the HRH designation.
Sarah Ferguson: Kept her title as “Duchess of York” but also lost the HRH title.
So, based on this precedent, Meghan would likely retain her title as “Duchess of Sussex” but lose the HRH designation. That means she’d have to curtsy to Archie, Lilibet, and even her ex-husband, Harry, if they ever cross paths at royal events.
2. Claim to the Throne
Both Diana and Sarah lost their claim to the throne after their divorces. So, if Meghan and Harry split, her claim to the throne would be gone too.
3. Property
Princess Diana: Kept her Kensington Palace apartments.
Sarah Ferguson: Received £500,000 from the Queen to buy a new home, but it had to be in her daughters’ names (Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie), not hers.
Based on this, Meghan might keep the Montecito home, but it would likely be put in a trust for Archie and Lilibet, meaning she wouldn’t outright own it.
4. Jewelry
Princess Diana: Kept her jewelry except for items gifted by the royal family, which she had to return.
Sarah Ferguson: Allegedly kept her royal tiara and engagement ring.
This is a gray area for Meghan. If she’s following Diana’s precedent, she’d have to return any jewelry gifted by the royals. But if she’s following Sarah’s path, she might keep her engagement ring, especially since it contains diamonds from Princess Diana’s personal collection.
5. Money and Custody
Princess Diana: Received a $22.5 million payout plus £600,000 annually.
Sarah Ferguson: Received 2.25millionplus15,000 annually.
The big difference? The NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement). Diana signed one, which likely contributed to her higher payout. Sarah didn’t, which allowed her to write a memoir and spill royal secrets.
So, if Meghan wants a hefty payout, she’ll likely have to sign an NDA. If she refuses, she’ll get a smaller settlement but could potentially cash in by writing a tell-all memoir.
Meghan can make all the demands she wants, but ultimately, the royal family holds the cards. Based on royal divorce precedents, here’s what we can expect:
She’ll keep the “Duchess of Sussex” title but lose the HRH designation.
Her claim to the throne will be gone.
She might keep the Montecito home, but it’ll likely be in Archie and Lilibet’s names.
Jewelry is a gray area—she might have to return royal gifts but could keep her engagement ring.
The divorce payout depends on whether she signs an NDA.
If these rumors are true, it seems Meghan is gearing up for a high-stakes divorce. But as history shows, the royal family doesn’t play around when it comes to protecting their legacy. Whether Meghan walks away with millions or a smaller settlement, one thing’s for sure: this saga is far from over.
What do you think? Will Meghan sign the NDA for a bigger payout, or will she go the Sarah Ferguson route and spill the tea? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
