Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took a step back from their roles as working royals in January 2020, making a major commitment to pursue financial independence and reshape their lives outside the monarchy.
Now, reports suggest that King Charles has expressed his hope for Meghan Markle’s upcoming Netflix show to succeed. He believes that their continued success in the entertainment industry will help them maintain their independence, a vital part of the new life they’ve chosen to lead.
Royal expert Helena Chard shared insights into King Charles’ perspective, noting that the King is supportive of Meghan’s project and wishes for both Harry and Meghan to remain financially stable and self-sufficient. "He hopes that Harry and Meghan remain self-sufficient, financially afloat, and do not come knocking at his door," she explained, emphasizing the importance of their self-reliance.
Commentator Kinsey Schofield echoed this sentiment, stating that King Charles encourages his son and daughter-in-law to pursue meaningful careers and find fulfillment. "He believes that achieving their goals may help them move past lingering grievances," Schofield said.
While their initial Netflix project, *Harry & Meghan*, made waves with its record-breaking success as part of their lucrative deal, subsequent ventures have faced challenges in matching that same level of success.
Experts, such as royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, stress the importance of securing a renewed Netflix contract, highlighting that the couple’s financial independence depends on the sustainability of these ventures. The pressure to make their new professional endeavors work is mounting, as the couple navigates their new life outside the royal spotlight.
