Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Reportedly Heading For Separation?

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appear to be taking time apart from one another as a result of public criticism, unsuccessful deals, and complicated family disputes. Palace sources said that the couple is "taking time apart" to repair their marriage.

The news surfaced after the couple started losing their multi-million dollar deals but were earlier sought after when they stepped down from royal duties in 2020

Harry is said to be due to head to South Africa to shoot a Netflix documentary, while Meghan is apparently staying behind in Los Angeles while working on new projects.

The Deals That Failed

1- Spotify $25 Million Deal

The first setback was the termination of the couple's well-publicised Spotify contract. When Markle's podcast 'Archetypes' was unable to acquire another season, the couple's $25 million podcast pact, inked in 2020, came to an abrupt halt. Launched in August 2022, Archetypes is a 12-episode series that explores the history of gender stereotypes and features interviews with historians, celebrities, and professionals.

2- No Emmy Nomination

The pair experienced another significant letdown when their Netflix series, Harry & Meghan, did not receive an Emmy nomination. Despite having over 81.55 million hours of viewing, which set a record for popularity, the show was unable to secure a nomination.

What Next For The Sussexes?

Many are unsure of the couple's future plans as their Hollywood endeavours encounter difficulties. According to rumours, Meghan is currently working towards reestablishing her own brand in addition to her joint projects with Prince Harry in the business world.

The couple is currently under a lot of financial strain to support their extravagant lifestyle in California, which includes their $14 million home and exorbitant security expenses.

Life has probably been a living nightmare for the Duke and Duchess as a result of high stress along with their emotional troubles. Spending time apart in separate countries might help them discover what they need to continue their marriage.
