Income from "Suits"?
editThe article currently says:
- Fortune magazine estimated that she was paid $50,000 per episode, amounting to an equivalent annual salary of $450,000.
That would only make sense if Suits had 9 episodes per year, but in fact it had 16 episodes most of the seasons that Meghan was on the show (12 in the first season). And according to IMDb, she was in all the episodes during seasons 1 through 7, so it's not as though she was only appearing in 9 out of 16 episodes per year. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:07, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
- I've amended the text because Fortune actually said "$50,000 Markle reportedly earns per episode on Suits. Her salary on the show is said to be around $450,000 per year." It doesn't connect the two figures; it says the figures are reported as $50,000 per episode or said to be $450,000 per year. Celia Homeford (talk) 09:35, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks, but the problem still persists, because the writer of the Fortune article either (a) didn't know Markle's correct per-episode salary, (b) didn't know her correct annual salary, or (c) didn't know how many episodes of "Suits" she appeared in each year. Or maybe they had more than one of those pieces of information wrong. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:08, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
- The writer of the Fortune article admits not knowing, which is why they say "reportedly" and "said to be". They are reporting second-hand or third-party gossip. Now that the phrase above has been removed, the article correctly represents the content of the source. Celia Homeford (talk) 15:36, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

This information is incorrect as Meghan is not part of the British Royal family!. ~2026-63604-3 (talk) 14:31, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
Not done. Yes, she is. Black Kite (talk) 14:51, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
No degree from NU
editMeghan did not graduate from Northwestern. She left early. Also, Northwestern has never had an international relations major. ~2026-26179-37 (talk) 03:22, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

Not a Duchess

- You could propose a WP:RM here. But I don't see any mention of her title being stripped in the article. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:02, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
- That's not useful advice though. The correct answer is that Meghan was not stripped of this title and is still correctly listed as the Duchess of Sussex at e.g. the official website of the British royal family. Fram (talk) 13:07, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
- People are not always best known by their official titles. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:35, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
- Which wasn't the claim by the OP. Fram (talk) 13:36, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
