Exclusive:
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry left the Royal Family in 2020 and have worked to become financially independent, but it seems they now have ‘a lot on their plate’
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle “have a lot on their plate” and don’t have time to worry about their strained relationship with the Royal Family, according to an expert.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior working royals four years ago and have caused quite a stir by revealing all about life behind Palace walls. The couple made a number of bombshell accusations in their Netflix docuseries, with Harry speaking out about the breakdown of his relationship with his brother Prince William.
Harry also hit out at the Royal Family in his debut memoir Spare. However, relationship expert Louella Alderson believes the Sussexes no longer have time to dwell on their royal feud.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, she said: “Harry and Meghan also have much bigger things to worry about at this point in their lives. With their declining popularity rates, constant media scrutiny and ongoing legal battles, they have a lot on their plate.”
This weekend, the Royal Family will celebrate Princess Eugenie’s birthday and it’s unlikely Harry and Meghan will be involved in the celebrations. However, Louella suggested the Duke of Sussex won’t focus on missing out.
She told us: “It’s likely that Harry is more focused on his family and building his new brand rather than spending a significant amount of time thinking about every event he is no longer part of. Harry now has his own life in America which appears to be keeping him busy.”
Indeed, Harry and Meghan have a lot of work to get stuck into, with the Duchess of Sussex recently announcing her new project. Meghan soft-launched her new brand, American Riviera Orchard, on Instagram last week with an all-new account.
Her latest venture is a lifestyle and cookery brand which will reportedly focus on home, garden, food, and lifestyle content. It’s believed it will tie in with a new cooking show on Netflix, which Meghan will begin filming in a matter of weeks.
Meghan is believed to be selling things such as cookery books, jams and kitchen utensils as part of her new venture. She hasn’t said much about American Riviera Orchard, with the Instagram simply stating it is “by Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex” and was “established 2024”.
