Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as Marie Claire reported recently, believe themselves to be “really unlucky” professionally, blaming outside forces like the pandemic and the deaths of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth for their stunted projects. The bad luck seemingly culminated with the collapse of the couple’s $20 million deal with Spotify, which was inked in 2020 and fell through last month. (In those nearly three years, the couple’s only piece of content for Spotify was Meghan’s 12-episode podcast, “Archetypes,” which debuted last year.)
The Sussexes are both in a bit of a rebranding, reimagination of image phase right now, figuring out next steps, which look professionally to likely see the two take separate career paths. The Mirror reports that Meghan is determined to come back “all guns blazing” to fight her way to the top, with the duchess reportedly eyeing more entertainment-focused projects, while her husband will zoom in on humanitarian work for the most part.
