According to the report:
It’s understood that the couple will be engaging in keynote speeches with trade associations, corporations and community forums in future. Harry and Meghan will reportedly continue to focus on social issues such as racial injustice, gender equality, mental health and environmental concerns.
By doing speeches throughout the country, the former royals look to be one step closer to their plans to live “financially independent” from the royal family after stepping down from their senior roles earlier this year.
According to the Los Angeles Times, President Obama reportedly made $400,000 for one speech in 2017, while the Clintons averaged $250,000 per appearance in 2014.

“I know the Duchess of Sussex has political ambitions and I’ve been told that one day she wants to run for President,” the author of an upcoming biography about the former Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared.
