From Prince Harry's memoir to Meghan's podcast, the couple will want to take recent royal activities into consideration as they move forward.
As destiny would have it, the US-based Duke and Duchess of Sussex passed off to be carrying out a uncommon string of European and UK engagements when the fitness of Prince Harry’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, took a unexpected turn. So it was that the couple have been capable to be in the UK when her dying was once announced, becoming a member of the Royal Family for a string of momentous activities such as processions, vigils and the Queen’s state funeral in the following days.
Now that the legitimate countrywide mourning length is over, the couple have flown again to be reunited with their two younger children, Archie and Lilibet, at their California home. But their homecoming won’t in reality be a case of returning to commercial enterprise as usual. The pair may no longer be authentic working royals, but their relationship to ‘The Firm’ has inevitably shifted now that Prince Harry is in such close proximity to the British sovereign, as the son of the new King, Charles III. And with a degree of sensitivity required as they pursue their independent profession ventures in the immediate wake of the Queen’s death, what do the coming months have in keep for the couple?
One key consideration is what Charles’s accession as monarch means in phrases of Harry and Meghan’s role within the institution. While there’s been no indication that they may want to be set to return to the Royal Family, have their HRH reputation restored or relocate again to the UK, it has been cautioned that their two youngsters ought to now be titled prince and princess. The King has reportedly agreed to a new Letters Patent, changing the one instituted by way of King George V in 1917 (dictating that solely the grandchildren of the monarch and the first grandson of the Prince of Wales ought to use the title). If the reviews are true, the duke and duchess’s teenagers ought to emerge as Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, like their royal cousins, the Prince and Princess of Wales’s children, George, Charlotte and Louis.
What of Harry and Meghan’s very own activities, mostly performed by their three-pronged Archewell agency (encompassing a charitable foundation and production partnerships with Netflix and Spotify, respectively)? The Archewell website is currently persevering with to exhibit only a assertion from the duke on the Queen’s death, underneath a black and white image of Harry with his late grandmother, with all different things to do apparently on keep for now.
Meghan’s Archetypes podcast, the first fully-fledged series from the couple’s Spotify deal, is currently on hiatus, having paused putting out episodes after three instalments (featuring Serena Williams, Mariah Carey and Mindy Kaling). It remains to be seen when the couple will feel it’s splendid to release the subsequent episode, or whether or not it will make any acknowledgement of the Queen’s death.
Much has additionally been written of Prince Harry’s upcoming book. Dubbed an ‘intimate and heartfelt memoir from one of the most fascinating and influential global figures of our time’ by Penguin Books, it had in the beginning been set to debut this winter. The temperature will have to be taken and revisions most probably made in response to the exchange in circumstances, however, with the reviews now suggesting the launch has been postponed till next year.
Meghan also disclosed in one of her podcast episodes that the couple are working on a documentary chronicling their ‘love story’ as part of their Netflix partnership – again, a mission that will have to be cautiously pitched in light of public sentiment in the wake of the Queen’s death.
The sad circumstances of this month have facilitated something of a public easing of the impasse between Harry and his family. The King made certain to express his ‘love for Harry and Meghan’ in his first televised speech as monarch, whilst the duke and duchess appeared alongside the Prince and Princess of Wales to view floral tributes at Windsor Castle, recalling the pre-Megxit days of the ‘Fab Four’.
Perhaps the direction of Harry and Meghan’s relationship with the Royal Family has been set onto a smoother course; or possibly Harry’s e book will show a royal ‘bombshell’ like that of the couple’s candid Oprah Winfrey interview.
