The Sign Prince Harry and Meghan Are and Running out of Things to Do in Montecito

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their roles within the royal family in 2020. At the time, the couple announced that they were going to carve out new paths and become financially independent. The Sussexes later signed lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify.

But while fans waited for the duke and duchess to produce some content for those platforms, the pair went on what some described as a royal-bashing tour when they publicly aired out Harry’s family’s dirty laundry . After revealing so many family secrets, some royal watchers pointed out that the two people who had been playing the victims were bullying the duke’s relatives who they knew weren’t going to fight back. The prince and former Suits star then became the butt of jokes and Spotify decided to end its partnership with them before a company executive called them “f****** grifters.”

In 2024, Meghan and Harry decided to stop using the victim narrative and completely rebrand themselves. Now though, an expert says they’re showing signs that they can’t find anything else to do.

Expert claims Prince Harry and Meghan are ‘bored’ with nothing to do in Montecito

Royal expert and author Tom Quinn noted that the duke is still involved with the Invictus Games but they don’t start again until the winter, and the duchess has been teasing her new lifestyle brand since February but that still hasn’t gotten off the ground. Therefore, it’s starting to look like Meghan and Harry have nothing else to do now.

Quinn told The Mirror that Meghan’s American Riviera Orchard is “essentially just a rebranding of The Tig , the brand she abandoned when she married Harry, thinking that life as a royal princess would be filled with endless deference and untold wealth. We don’t yet know exactly what the new brand will be selling, but it’s astonishing that a royal prince and his wife have been reduced to selling some of the things we have already been told they will be selling — marmalade, jams, and even dog shampoo.

“The new enterprise and Meghan’s widely publicised visit to the children’s home in Los Angeles are definitely linked and suggest that the couple are beginning to feel uncomfortable sitting around in Montecito with not very much to do.”

It’s not just Meghan’s full launch, fans are also waiting for the debut of her cooking show to premiere on Netflix. The description for the program says it “celebrates the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship.”

The Duke of Sussex has a documentary coming out as well about the sport of polo.

Meghan and Harry are both mindful that the success of those two programs will decide whether Netflix renews their contract, and a source who spoke to Closer says the stress of that is weighing heavily on Meghan and how her show will do.

“You can just imagine the kind of pressure it’s putting on her and by extension Harry,” the insider told the publication (per Express ). “If this show flops, it will be a total disaster, and she knows it. She’s on tenterhooks waiting for it to come out and the stress it’s causing her is being felt by everyone around her, especially Harry.”
