Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are focusing on their separate careers in Hollywood, indicating that they may be moving in different directions. Royal expert Phil Dampier mentioned that Harry is taking significant steps on his own to carve out his future, hinting that he may have been feeling disconnected. While initially, the couple had secured joint contracts in Hollywood, Meghan is now venturing into building her lifestyle empire with American Riviera Orchard.
Harry’s former chief of staff, Josh Kettler, was expected to guide him in the next phase of his post-royal career. However, after just three months, Kettler stepped down from his position, causing speculation about the future direction of the Duke. This sudden change has raised questions about the dynamic between Harry and Meghan, especially since there were reports of a toxic work environment created by the couple.
The couple’s joint company Archewell, established in 2020, has also faced criticism, with allegations of unprofessional behavior. Former private secretary Samantha Cohen likened working with them to working with teenagers. Despite the rumors, Harry and Meghan have denied any claims of misconduct, suggesting that their association with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has made their staff more employable elsewhere.
The accusations of bullying against Meghan during her time as a working duchess have resurfaced, especially after Kettler’s abrupt departure. This situation has made it challenging for the remaining staff to maintain a positive image ahead of the couple’s upcoming tour to Colombia. The tour aims to highlight online security for children, but the ongoing controversies surrounding the couple’s work environment may overshadow this positive narrative.
As Harry and Meghan navigate their separate career paths and face scrutiny over their professional conduct, it remains to be seen how they will address these challenges moving forward. Despite the criticisms and controversies, the couple continues to pursue their individual goals in Hollywood, with Harry seeking more fulfilling roles and Meghan expanding her lifestyle brand. Their journey to establish themselves outside the royal family comes with its own set of obstacles and opportunities, shaping their future trajectories in the U.S. and beyond.
