Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s project announcements are a clever “diversion tactic”, according to an expert.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been busy lately, with several projects announced, much to the delight of their fans. The couple are working on two new shows with Netflix as part of their huge multi-million-dollar deal with the streaming platform, with Meghan also gearing up to unveil her brand, American Riviera Orchard.
Speaking on this week’s Palace Confidential, the Daily Mail’s Richard Kay said that the couple always seem to be “in a hurry to make announcements”, with them also trying to look “busy”.

“All these plans are in the pipeline and then nothing happens,” he said speaking on the episode, which touched on how Meghan’s podcast isn’t expected to make a real comeback until next year following her signing up to Lemonda, who didn’t want her Netflix projects to overshadow her audio work with them.
Mr Kay went on to say that Meghan appears to be “proud” of what she’s working on, with the couple’s project announcements almost “a way of taking breath and pausing trying to decide what to do next”. Although Richard Eden said it’s a “very strange way of operating”.
Mr Eden said: “I mean, take Netflix, they will announce a new film for something when it’s gone into production or it’s about to be broadcast. It’s very strange to announce deals and then have nothing. Announcing a deal like this and then not having any content, any podcasts for a year.
“You do wonder, is she just doing it for the publicity?”
This comes as Meghan prepares to hard launch her brand, American Riviera Orchard, for which she has gifted jars of her jam to 50 celebrities and influencers, including Kris Jenner. The Duchess is also working on a lifestyle show with Netflix, while her husband turns his attention to a polo-focused show with the streaming giant.
