According to royal expert
Emily Andrews, Meghan Markle wants to become ultra-wealthy. "I've been told by those close to Meghan that she wants to become a billionaire," Andrews
claims in the new Channel 5 documentary,
The Meghan Effect: How She Shook Up the Royal Family. "To become a billionaire, she has to build her brand to be as big and successful as it possibly can. Jam is just the beginning."

Emily Andrews thinks this is a real possibility for Meghan Markle despite early stumbles with her As Ever brand. "I can see her moving into hospitality more generally and if she manages to do that, I can absolutely see her becoming a billionaire," Andrews said.

The claims about Meghan Markle's ambitions come as she's been seen spending time with entrepreneur Emma Grede. The With Love, Meghan star appeared on the fashion designer's podcast and attended a star-studded dinner she hosted in Los Angeles.

Daily Express columnist
Mieka Smiles feels some of the issues the Duchess of Sussex has faced with her businesses stem from her lack of connection to her audience. "A lot of her terrible press is brought on by
