Prince Harry's Reset: Duke Is 'Going Back to Basics' as 'Professional Separation' From Meghan Markle Heats Up

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's "star power wasn't as successful as they hoped," which has led the Duke of Sussex to "soar on his own" in the kind of solo outings royal fans once "adored him for."

PR expert Mark Burkowski told GBN, "There has been a separation [of their work] for a while. They had to change the narrative."

Although Burkowski and numerous other analysts have all but confirmed the Sussex career split, others feel that this could be an underlying metaphor for a troubled union behind closed doors. Harry could be "going back to the basics" of his pre-Meghan life, but "Duchess Difficult" superfan Emma Pagnoni Fabiani is not having any of the talk.

"Sources close to the couple have clarified that their current focus on individual projects has nothing to do with marital problems," the admin of a Harry and Meghan fan page on Instagram said. "It's a deliberate choice that allows them to pursue their personal career goals while continuing to support each other."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been accused in the past of "deliberately staging signs of marital trouble" to keep their names in media headlines.

These examples led Fabiani to observe that the Sussex "marriage is solid, and there are no signs of trouble." Despite working separately on certain projects, they remain deeply united as a couple,” said the royal watcher.

Some believe the Sussex duo could be adopting a coy strategy to quell intense negative press coverage, and it involves solo-only outings.

"I think what they're doing or being advised to do is do their own thing," royal expert Ingrid Seward told GBN's Nana Akua. "People spend more time concentrating on one person than they do two."

The author added how Meghan seemed like nothing more than an "appendage" to Harry when they appeared together at events.

The ex-actress did not accompany her husband on his "stunningly successful" recent trips to NYC, London and Africa, as rumors continue to build that the royal rebels are seeking separate professional lives.

"There's no sign of Meghan because I think Harry knows that he does these things best on his own," Seward continued.

Since Harry and Meghan left the Crown in early 2020, the duo have amassed a "whopping" $62.5 million dollars alone based solely on their projects. Meghan was rumored to have been worth roughly $5 million when she met her future Duke in 2016, whereas Harry had a reported $25 million dollars of inherited wealth in the bank. The ex-actress garnered her "handful of millions" primarily from her acting role on the legal drama series Suits.

The duo signed megawatt deals in the fall of that year, "back when they were a hot commodity," as one royal insider described it. Spotify inked the "tell-all royals" for the podcast "Archetypes," which flopped, leading to the cancelation of their contract in June 2023.
