Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have officially announced a shift in their careers, admitting defeat in their Hollywood aspirations. The couple is now looking into two new avenues: philanthropy for Harry, where he aims to embrace a royal persona in a more formal capacity, and entrepreneurship for Meghan, despite concerns about her business acumen. This shift seems quite risky, as they may be leaving behind tens of millions in potential earnings due to their struggles with content creation.
While the couple does have a few shows set to be released later this year and next, it appears they are jumping ship in search of a new direction. The question remains: will this change uplift them, or will it lead to their downfall? Here are some insights into what this might mean for their future, especially considering Meghan's recent narrative of separation.

The recent article in *People* magazine delves into the couple’s evolving dynamic, which some view as problematic. They are supposedly finding their footing as individuals, rather than as a united couple. This narrative of separation has resurfaced repeatedly over the past month, hinting that their professional split may lead to an actual marital separation. This is concerning, especially for the sake of their children.
Throughout their relationship, Harry and Meghan have often portrayed themselves as inseparable, symbolized by their intertwined tree in their front yard. Yet, as they grow individually, the distance between them could widen.
In discussing Harry's recent engagements in Africa, *People* notes his commitment to addressing the HIV/AIDS crisis, a cause he has championed for years. However, these outings starkly contrast with his previous duties as a senior royal. He seems to be merely “cosplaying” royalty—dressing the part without the authority or resources to make a significant impact.
Harry has consistently expressed his dissatisfaction with royal life, often citing his desire to break free. Yet, it appears he is gravitating back toward that identity without realizing the limitations it imposes. Without the royal backing, Harry struggles to engage meaningfully in his philanthropic pursuits. His conversations lack the necessary power, influence, and authority to enact real change.
While he may have some charitable intentions, his financial capabilities pale in comparison to prominent philanthropists like Elon Musk or Bill Gates. They can make substantial contributions that truly alter circumstances, whereas Harry and Meghan’s donations remain modest.
Moreover, Harry’s ongoing legal battles with the British government complicate his efforts. Why would anyone in the UK take his opinions seriously when he is actively suing them? Without the familial support that comes with being royal, he risks becoming irrelevant in the philanthropic arena.
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, Meghan is focusing on her own path while juggling motherhood with their two children, Archie and Lilibet. She’s gearing up for the launch of her new Netflix show and her lifestyle brand, American Rivier Orchard. However, there are growing concerns about her entrepreneurial skills and the delays surrounding her projects. The anticipated Netflix show has faced multiple postponements, raising questions about its viability.
Meghan’s claim of handling childcare single-handedly feels exaggerated, given the support they likely have. Additionally, her brand’s progress has been sluggish, with little clarity on when it will officially launch. These setbacks should ideally be addressed post-launch, not while still attempting to build the brand. As we look ahead, the couple’s future remains uncertain. Their attempts to pivot towards philanthropy and entrepreneurship come with significant challenges, and it will be intriguing to see how they navigate this new terrain.
Friends probably cost around 200 bucks—I'm just speculating. But the real issue here is whether Meghan secured the patents for that bowl she created before handing it out to her friends. If she didn't, and she features that bowl in her show, she could run into trouble if someone else owns the patent. That would pose a significant problem for her.
We really don't know much about American Riv Orchard. Any seasoned business person would tell you that launching a brand with nothing in hand is a risky move. Even if you tease a product, six months down the line without further updates raises questions. It’s alarming that she doesn’t even have a newsletter to engage her audience—this is terrible business practice.
Once the show launches, I suspect she’ll encounter significant issues. She may have products featured in the show that she can't use due to these oversights. It seems they are banking on American Riv Orchard to generate millions—if not billions—of dollars, and I don’t foresee that ending well for them.
Meghan Markle has pivoted towards business and entrepreneurship, but insiders say this shift indicates a clear change in their public personas. While Harry is immersed in philanthropic efforts, Meghan is leaning into entrepreneurial projects.
If I were Netflix and reading this, I’d be questioning whether I’m paying them millions to create content. Philanthropy doesn’t generate revenue for me. Their entrepreneurial projects may not yield significant returns either. What they’re essentially signaling to their employer is that they’re looking for another job—likely a sign they’ve lost that job already.
Harry and Meghan, through sheer incompetence, have squandered tens of millions from Spotify and likely from Netflix too. They’re failing spectacularly and looking to jump to the next opportunity, but no one seems interested.
Despite generating headlines, they don’t translate into profits for anyone, including themselves, unless they have invested in outlets like the Daily Mail or People magazine. Their approach has turned into a black hole. The dynamic of their private lives is crucial, as they have made it a point to stay close, almost clinging to one another. But with this apparent separation, speculation is inevitable.
Since stepping back from royal life in 2020, Harry has maintained his commitments to various charities, even engaging virtually during the pandemic. However, that doesn’t carry much weight anymore. He lacks authority and influence, and while he can still generate headlines, it's not as compelling without Meghan.
They were more interesting when they were younger and less encumbered by responsibilities. As Harry approaches middle age, his appeal diminishes. Their joint efforts have typically been more about Meghan’s outrageous behavior than Harry’s contributions.
On the entrepreneurial front, Meghan is channeling energy into her lifestyle brand, American Riv Orchard, and her Netflix show. However, interest in lifestyle brands appears to be waning, and she may have missed the surge in popularity for them.
While they share initiatives like the Archwell Foundation, Meghan’s dedication to causes like mental health remains questionable. Harry balances his non-profit efforts with production projects, such as a Polo documentary for Netflix, which may not attract viewers.
The couple’s joint projects continue, but it's questionable how impactful they will be. Megan is not a skilled entrepreneur, and her approach to launching a brand has been flawed from the start. Business experts will tell you to ensure everything is secure before launching, yet here she is, sending out products and then disappearing for months. It’s staggering how many missteps she has made.
The shift in focus has led to solo appearances for Harry, while Meghan’s absence could reflect their parenting priorities. But it raises questions about why their dynamic has changed when they used to travel together frequently. The narrative now suggests one parent stays behind, which feels more like a separation than anything else.
It also appears to be a strategic decision, given the scrutiny they face. If Meghan accompanied Harry, critics would accuse her of trying to steal the spotlight, which she has done before. The truth is, they’re in a no-win situation. They have made themselves so obnoxious that no one supports them anymore.
Regardless of their achievements, people seem to want to see them fail. They’ve burned so many bridges that their likability is virtually nonexistent. Very few people I know genuinely like Meghan Markle. Their toxic reputation is something they've created themselves, and they are now reaping the consequences.
Additionally, Harry’s desire to spend more time in the UK, either alone or with family, is hindered by his ongoing legal battle over security. It’s evident that Meghan doesn’t share that desire, creating an even clearer division.
In conclusion, the dynamics between Harry and Meghan are unfolding in a manner that suggests significant professional and possibly personal separations. They have created a mess of their own making, and it might be time for some serious self-reflection on their part, though I doubt they’ll take that step. The desire for attention appears to overshadow all other considerations.
