Sussexes Pursue Individual Ventures While Maintaining Strong Partnership
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear to be navigating a new chapter in their relationship, embracing separate professional paths while maintaining a united front in their shared values.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made only two joint public appearances in the past four months, most recently in a video message advocating for children’s online safety at a United Nations conference in Colombia. Their public engagements together have become infrequent since their tour of Colombia in August, as both focus on individual pursuits.
Meghan is gearing up for the 2025 launch of her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, while Harry is dedicated to preparations for the Invictus Games in Vancouver and Whistler, Canada, set for February.
Royal commentator Judi James noted that despite the professional separation, the couple seems "happy, confident, and comfortable," even as they spend extended periods apart.
This week, their divergent schedules continue, with Meghan attending a star-studded Hollywood event on December 4 to honour her close friend Tyler Perry, and Harry participating in The New York Times DealBook Conference in New York.
Their evolving public roles reflect a new phase in their partnership, one where individual ambitions are prioritised while their shared goals remain intact.
