Essentially Meghan was joining the family business by marrying Harry and anticipated always working side-by-side with him to accomplish a shared goal of furthering the monarchy.
Then, January 2020 happened.
After Harry and Meghan stepped back as working members of the royal family, they continued to work in tandem, establishing Archewell and inking deals with Netflix and Spotify together.
Professionally, for the most part, where there was one, there was the other.
Now, Meghan has signed with powerhouse talent agency William Morris Endeavor (WME); Harry did not.
It seems that Meghan is poised to become a “one-woman show” in the near future; for his part, Harry has projects of his own that he’s dialing into.
According to OK, Meghan is being advised that there is “no future” professionally with Harry and that, according to an advisor, she needs to break away from the colloquial “Brand Sussex.”
“They feel that if Meghan does more on her own, she’ll have more opportunities to save her career,” a source said.
By “save her career” they’re likely referring to bouncing back from the collapse of the $20 million Spotify deal she and Harry signed in 2020, which fell apart last month to much publicity.
Meghan is being advised to relaunch herself by rebranding herself professionally as her own person, not as one half of the Sussexes.
Offers for Meghan sans Harry have been allegedly “pouring in,” and Meghan is “meticulously looking them over.”
For his part, Harry will release his Netflix documentary, Heart of Invictus, next month, and is also rumored to be working on a solo documentary for Netflix about Africa. He also went solo for his memoir, Spare, which was a bestseller for Penguin Random House earlier this year.
