  • Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles could earn up to US$5,155 per sponsored post – are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle missing out by quitting Instagram?
  • French President Emmanuel Macron is also royalty, raking in a potential US$9,190 with his 2.7 million followers, while Dubai’s crown prince leads the royals of the Middle East

If you’re a royal watcher or celebrity hound fascinated with the lives of the rich and fabulous, social media is a great way to get glimpses into their daily lives.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex famously shut down their @sussexroyal Instagram account in March 2020 when they stepped back from royal life, opting to live a more private existence. But could they be missing out on another form of revenue by not being on social media?
