The Queen has requested Harry and Meghan attend the annual Commonwealth Service with the rest of the royals next month.
Government representatives of the 53 member nations will gather at Westminster Abbey for the one-hour event on the afternoon of March 9.
For the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, it will be wrapped into a wider whistle stop schedule which will mark their final duties on the Family frontline.
On Thursday night they were keynote speakers at a star-studded JP Morgan conference which wealth experts believe could have netted them up to $1million.
Friends have told the newspaper the Queen is 'remarkably relaxed' and 'unfazed' by the couple's money-making ventures.
Ronn Torossian, CEO of New York-based firm 5W Public Relations, said he expects the couple to have made between $500,000 and $1million (£387,000 and £775,000) from the appearance.
'Harry and Meghan will be the highest-paid speakers that exist on the corporate market.'

...and perhaps a nice drive...
...to the Tower of London....
“Could you stand right in front of this desk? Sorry about the plastic on the floor; I’m having some painting done.”
That sounds a little like Lethal Weapon 2.
Do it. Free chow.
How do Harry, who will never ascend to the throne, and Meghan, a D list actress, warrant speaking fees of 500k to 1,000k??
If true that “the Queen is remarkably relaxed about Harry and Meghan’s money making ventures.” that probably means the Queen expects that the Royal Family will be skimming some of those profits from Harry’s share.
This may explain why they are being allowed to market themselves based on being Royals, in spite of shabby treatment from the couple.
When all is said and done, passive income is still money, no matter where it comes from.
There are no royal duties. Welcome to being an ordinary person, “prince.” In reality, there is no royalty and we’re all ordinary people.
Prince Harry can probably charge $100,000 for a 30 minute speech, meet and greet for the other 30 minutes. Not a bad gig for one hour work.
The market for leftist drivel is lucrative.
“Harry and Meghan will be the highest-paid speakers that exist on the corporate market.”
Really? What in God’s name in their history makes them such stunning speakers they get that kind of money for an appearance?
We live in interesting times.
They reportedly got 500K for appearing at that recent finance gig in Miami.
Hope the Palace gets the family and friends discount.
My bad. South Beach.
It’s a fame obsessed culture. Some rich people are willing to pay to mingle with the famous.
The Queen will arrange a deal like Jimmy did for Karen Hill in “Goodfellas,” where she was looking to get some “clothes,” down some alley...
Wonder what AOC thinks about this? Or Bernie?
Close enough. Unless you live in Miami, it’s pretty much all the same.
