Meghan, Duchess of Sussex is looking to move up a tax bracket, with her sights reportedly set on joining the billionaire club.

The 44-year-old and her husband Prince Harry's total wealth is expected to be £60 million (approx. $120 million), but royal commentator Emily Andrews claims in the new documentary, The Meghan Effect: How She Shook Up the Royal Family, "I've been told by those close to Meghan that she wants to become a billionaire."

"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."

The royal has recently been cosying up to multi-millionaire Emma Grede, the British Dragon's Den star behind Kim Kardashian's Skims range.

Grede recently hosted a dinner in Los Angeles with Meghan as the "star guest", which made PR experts speculate the entrepreneur was in talks with her to launch a new venture.

Andrews thinks this could be in the hospitality sector, saying in the documentary, "I can see her moving into hospitality more generally, and if she manages to do that, I can absolutely see her becoming a billionaire."

Fourteen products are part of the collection, including candles, which are now on sale via As ever ahead of the busy festive season, with Meghan telling her followers "gathering is the greatest gift of all".

However, just five of the items are actually new while one features a nod to Prince Harry and Meghan's royal wedding.

Both come in reusable ceramic jars and are $97 each.

Other new additions to the holiday collection include a spiced cider mulling spice kit and hot toddy mulling spice kit (both $25), sage-flavoured honey ($49), and a three-pack of 'signature fruit spread' in a gift box for $64.
