Meghan Markle and Prince Harry confirmed their return to the public platform by embarking on a professional speaking career for their next job after their major royal move. The Sussex couple recently signed up with the same agency that handles the speaking engagements of Barack and Michelle Obama, as well as Bill and Hillary Clinton. 

According to the Los Angeles Times, Meghan and Prince Harry will be joining moderated discussions relating to racial injustice, gender equity, mental health and environmental concerns. They will be invited to corporate and community forums as well as trade associations that will be fielded, sourced, handled and scheduled by New York's Harry Walker Agency. 

Harry Walker represents a number of A-list speakers aside from the Obamas and the Clintons. Their clients also include Oprah Winfrey and Jane Goodall. Both women are good friends of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. 

Meghan and Prince Harry's latest endeavor is said to be an extremely lucrative job. Reports showed that former president Obama earned $400,000 after delivering a speech at Wall Street in 2017. The Clintons, reportedly, charge $250,000 per speaking engagement. As it has been planned, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex want to be financially independent from the royal family. They stopped receiving public funds when they officially stepped back from their roles as working royals on March 31.

Prior to the coronavirus lockdown, Prince Harry gave a speech to financial and business leaders in February in Miami in a private JP Morgan event. He spoke about mental health and the loss of his mother, Princess Diana. 

Just this month, Meghan also gave a virtual commencement speech to the graduates of her alma mater, the Immaculate Heart High School in Los Angeles. She spoke about George Floyd's killing and racism. 

Sources close to the couple told People that Prince Harry and Meghan have been getting educated in matters concerning their advocacies to further understand the issues around it. They have had incredible discussions with though leaders to zero in on the causes that they can support in establishing their new foundation, Archewell. 

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are taking their time in launching their new organization amid a vastly changing social, political and economic landscape. The COVID-19 pandemic and the turmoil in the U.S. have slowed down their plans to make things official but they are, reportedly, excited to see things coming together.
