Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has been praised for taking a “modern approach” in their career ventures.
As Meghan prepares for the release of her new Netflix show next month, Harry is gearing up to get his 11th annual Invictus Games underway in Canada this weekend.
Speaking to the Mirror, royal expert Jennie Bond praised the couple over their latest approach, saying: “I think Harry is happy to continue his family life in California but, hopefully, spend more of his time on his charity work into which I think he can pour his heart and soul.
“The commercial world is simply something he’s not used to and, let’s face it, his wife is probably better at it than he.
“No shame in that: he is a very wealthy man already and, in my opinion, can indeed carry out the kind of ‘universal service’ that he pointedly alluded to as he exited the official working Royal Family.
“I think it is an entirely legitimate way ahead for Meghan to concentrate on commercial activities and celebrity appearances, which she seems to very much enjoy, while Harry pursues the charitable work he is known for and where he can make such a difference.”
Praising the couple, she added: “This is a modern world, after all, and it really doesn’t matter who is the chief breadwinner, as long as the family is happy and secure.”
Pauline Maclaran, a professor of marketing and consumer research at Royal Holloway, has previously commented on why the couple might have professionally split.
She told the BBC: “They seem to have separated their brands. I think it’s likely to be much more successful because I think the two of them together weren’t really getting any strong recognition.”
