Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are now focusing on separate careers. In the past, they worked together to share their experiences about royal life through interviews, documentaries, and books. Now, Meghan is preparing to launch her Netflix lifestyle series and brand, entering what some call her “influencer era.” She recently teamed up with Billie Eilish to help a teenager who lost her home in the Los Angeles wildfires. Meanwhile, Harry is focused on the Invictus Games. Meghan Markle visited victims of the Los Angeles fire recently.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams says there is nothing wrong with them working separately, but he believes their public image is controversial. Many people think they have made money from their conflict with the royal family, which makes some Americans doubt their true intentions.
Photographer Helena Chard believes Harry looks more comfortable working alone because he often seems nervous or overshadowed when he is with Meghan. She also says Meghan enjoys being in the spotlight, but her efforts to become a big entertainment figure have received mixed reactions.
Meghan has been working to change her image. She created a new Instagram account on New Year’s Day, which now has 1.6 million followers. She uses it to promote her Netflix show, “With Love, Meghan,” and share charity work, like getting signed gifts from Billie Eilish for a wildfire victim. However, some people think her actions seem more focused on self-promotion than helping others. Others believe she is trying to become an influencer, using personal stories to build her brand.
Since leaving their royal roles in 2020, Harry and Meghan have made headlines by sharing their struggles with the royal family. From their Oprah interview to their Netflix documentary and Harry’s book, “Spare,” each project has added to the discussion about their relationship with the British monarchy. Now that they are following different career paths, it will be interesting to see how their individual projects affect their public image in the future.
