He further emphasized that brands are hesitant to associate themselves with personal issues such as Prince Harry's visa dispute and security concerns. This setback is hindering Markle's chances of securing substantial deals as an influencer or brand ambassador, despite her participation in fashion panels that have yet to yield significant results.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry himself has expressed concerns about his personal security, stating that he faces a greater risk than his late mother, Princess Diana, due to additional layers of racism and extremism. Discussions regarding the future of his security have been ongoing, with Harry alleging that the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda has called for his assassination. Details of the Duke's security complaints, including concerns raised during his claim against newspaper publishers, were revealed during his failed legal action against the home office.
In a ruling last week, retired high court judge Sir Peter Lane dismissed Harry's appeal regarding his protection status. The judge stated that the government was entitled to conclude that Harry's protection should be determined on a case-by-case basis, as his status had changed after he ceased being a full-time working member of the royal family. Harry plans to appeal the ruling, as he expressed disbelief over the decision being made without adequate consultation, emphasizing his commitment to protecting his family.
The overall impact of these challenges is posing hurdles for Meghan Markle's financing endeavors, as the couple navigates the aftermath of their royal departure and seeks to establish their new identities beyond the confines of the British royal family.
