Meghan and Harry 'will explore other opportunities' as the Duke is set to go it alone

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to "explore opportunities which are important to them as individuals", according to a PR expert.

The Duke of Sussex will reportedly make his grand return to Africa for a brand new Netflix documentary, without the help of his wife.

The project is thought to be the next phase of the couple's $98 million (£77million) deal with the streaming service giant.

One expert has said Harry and Meghan are currently "doing things independently", but that won't stop them from working together again if the opportunity comes along.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Mayah Riaz said: "We have seen Prince Harry and Meghan do things independently for a little while now.

"I don't believe this to be brand damaging, but a way they can explore other opportunities which are important to them as individuals. I still believe they still be seen together in public and where opportunities arise, will work together."

Meghan and Harry previously teamed up to create a docuseries for Netflix, which became the streaming giant's most-watched documentary.

They also teamed up for their Archewell Foundation and for a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.

However, they have also completed a number of projects separately. Earlier this year, Harry released his debut memoir and there have been reports that Meghan is set to bring back her lifestyle blog The Tig.

Mayah said these solo projects won't "harm their brand".

Speaking about Harry's rumoured project in Africa, the expert added: "We know that for Prince Harry, Africa is important to him as he has called it his "second home".

"In fact, it plays a special part in both their lives as their third date was to Botswana.

"It would be great to see Africa through Prince Harry's eyes in a documentary. I imagine it would be hugely popular, as it's a place he knows well and loves."

PR expert Kieran Elsby also offered some insight into Harry's new project.

"While I'm uncertain about Harry's plans in Africa, I am confident that he will follow in his late mother's footsteps in raising awareness about landmines and other causes.

"Undoubtedly, the cameras will capture some compelling, impromptu footage of his emotions," he told us.

Kieran, director of Media Global PR, also said "it makes sense" for Harry and Meghan to establish themselves as individuals.

"Their personal brands need to be distinct, or else they will lose their commercial appeal," he told us.
