Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly have even more plans ahead, hiring money man Adam Lilling to help them with their future endeavours.

The couple were reportedly introduced to the hit dealmaker through his connection with long-time client Ellen DeGeneres, with sources saying they saw the trio talking at her recent vow renewal ceremony with wife Portia de Rossi in their Montecito home, with Harry even introducing Lilling to another guest.

An industry expert who works with Lilling told Page Six that the money man works at the "intersection of celebrity and venture investing" and that "he has worked with Ellen forever, as well as Matthew McConaughey and a bunch of A listers."

"It's very possible that Ellen introduced him to Harry and Meghan," they said.

Lilling was named one of the Top Dealmakers of 2022 by The Hollywood Reporter, saying, "Our mission is to take people who can affect change in the world and marry them with the top operators and entrepreneurs."

"We're not really focused on their entertainment endeavors. We're focused on connecting their profits, their passion, and purpose with profit opportunities in the private equity landscape," he continued.

Harry was certainly chuffed at his success, with guests at the vow renewal hearing him talk about his memoir.
