Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.

Rachel Meghan Markle, Born August 4, 1981, is a former American Actress who started her career appearing in small roles in various American television shows. However, it was not until the 2011 American legal comedy-drama, Suits, that she got her breakthrough role. After a romantic blind date with him, Markle started dating the Duke of Sussex and eventually got hitched to him in a widely televised ceremony on 19 May 2018, becoming a member of the British Royal family.

Following this, she earned official titles including The Duchess of Sussex, Countess of Dumbarton, and Baroness Kilkeel. However, she soon retired as an actress and became a senior working royal of the British Monarchy along with her husband, Prince Harry. Following the Megxit in 2020, they have been working on their Archewell audio company, the Netflix documentary, and continue to support good and charitable causes.
<h2>Meghan Markle Net Worth</h2>
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Meghan Markle has a joint net worth of $60 Million with Prince Harry. Before their marriage though, the American actress's net worth was $5 Million, per reports.

If we look at her career before she became royalty herself, she was a part of the American legal drama, Suits, which paid her $50,000 for each episode. She also made a whopping amount of $360,000 from her roles in the 2010 movies Remember Me and The Candidate. Meghan Markle also ran a lifestyle blog going by the name, The Tig, before her marriage to the Prince. According to reports, she made $80,000 annually from sponsorships, endorsements, and branding.

Moreover, for each episode of her reality television show, Deal or No Deal, Markle earned $800. Reports suggest Markle earned a total of $2 million from her acting pursuits.

Now, after her marriage and stepping down as senior royal, the net worth of the couple reportedly remains the same. Although the crown does not finance their lifestyle in any way, the aforementioned figure reflects their independent wealth, which they have earned from various journalistic and entertainment pursuits. According to The Sun, the Duchess of Sussex got a $700,000 advance for her book The Bench, which came out in June 2021. Furthermore, if we speak about their Spotify audio podcast deal, the couple made a hefty amount of $25 million in advance.

But a great deal that the royal couple cracked was that with Netflix which is speculated to be worth $150 million. And well, how can we forget Prince Harry's Spare, an autobiography which may have a price tag of $20, million. Elsewhere, the Sussexes may make more dollars through speaking engagements. They apparently signed a deal with the Harry Clinton agency which also represents the Obamas and the Clintons, and their fee per speech may go up to $1 million, which suggests that their net worth is likely to increase in near future.
