In recent years, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been at the center of media attention as they broke away from their royal roles in 2020 and moved to the U.S. Since then, they’ve embraced their celebrity status with high-profile interviews and a Netflix docuseries. But now, it seems like their partnership might be heading for a shift.
As Prince Harry approaches his 40th birthday this September, there’s talk of a significant change. According to recent reports, Harry is considering a separation from Meghan to try and mend his relationship with his family. However, the situation isn’t as bleak as it might sound.
What’s Really Happening?
Harry and Meghan’s marriage isn’t on the rocks—unless, of course, there’s some insider knowledge we don’t have. Instead, it appears they’re taking a step back from their joint business ventures. The couple is planning to spend the summer working on individual projects.
For example, their Netflix deal is shifting. Harry is working on a series about professional polo, a sport he’s passionate about, while Meghan is wrapping up a docuseries focused on cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship. This series will tie into her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
In a more personal development, Harry is reportedly planning a trip back to the U.K. this summer to meet with his father, King Charles. This meeting is significant because Harry and Charles didn’t have a chance to reconnect during Harry’s recent visit to England. Since Meghan has been vocal about her concerns for her safety in the U.K., she and their children, Prince Archie (5) and Princess Lilibet (3), will stay in California.
Royal commentator Daniela Elser has suggested that Harry and Meghan might be experiencing a “professional split.” Their latest moves—Harry’s new business ventures and Meghan’s solo projects—show that their joint brand might be coming to an end. As Elser noted, recent announcements have highlighted each of them working independently.
So, while Harry and Meghan may be spending some time apart, it seems like this separation could benefit both their personal and professional lives in the long run.
