An insider tells Heat World: “She’s absolutely buzzing after this trip because in her mind it proves everything she’s been saying all along, that she doesn’t need the Palace machine to shine because she just naturally connects with people in a way that feels far more authentic and modern.”

They add: “Meghan is obviously delighted with the commercial opportunities that are coming her and Harry’s way right now, but she’s also savouring the sweet taste of redemption. The outpouring of love they’ve gotten in Australia has really lit a fire under her and she wants to keep this momentum going.”

Meanwhile, Ted Jenkin, Managing Partner of Exit Wealth Advisors noted: “Meghan and Harry could make money from audience aggregation, premium access, brand leverage. All totalled, this tour could fetch $10 million or more for Meghan and Harry. Anytime these two get in the public eye, it usually follows with a flowing cash register.”
