Meghan Markle now world’s 3rd richest woman after ‘shorting’ Royal Family

Fresh from her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey that has left the Royal Family’s reputation in tatters, Meghan Markle has emerged as the third richest woman in the world having closed her ‘short’ position on the Royal Family.

A Wall Street broker who has requested not to be named as the idiot that underwrote the Option years before Markle married Prince Harry, believing it was easy money. That was until the Duchess of Sussex phoned him just hours after the Oprah interview requesting to close her position.

“I knew this day was coming when I first read that she started dating Prince Harry,” said uninhibited broker whose firm declared bankruptcy yesterday.

“While I am out of a job and have just put my kids on a bus to live with their grandparents, I can’t help but be impressed by the long game Mrs Markle has played.

“When I wrote the Option, I thought she was just a dumb bimbo with too much money from her time on Suits but it looks like she learnt plenty playing the Rachel Zane character.

“This is one of the all time greatest trades because she’s made millions along the way before closing her position.”

The exact metrics of how the Option was constructed are yet to be disclosed but the value is believed to have been derived by negative headlines referencing the Royal Family.
