Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s professional separation is working as the couple take different paths, according to a royal commentator.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have undertaken multiple solo engagements across the last couple of months as part of a wider strategy.
The Sussexes plan to have greater separation in their professional lives as they work on different projects.
Royal commentator Jennie Bond has backed the couple’s decision.

Bond said: “I think Harry and Meghan are showing that they can pursue separate interests effectively and, you could argue, have twice the impact as they can cover much more ground.
“It seems quite sensible to me for them each to capitalise on their individual strengths – Harry concentrating mostly on charity work and social issues, while Meghan goes down a more commercial route. It must certainly give them more to talk about over dinner!
“I think they still can make a real impact when they work together.”
She continued: “For example, when they recently met the parents of children who have taken their own lives because of getting involved in the dark web.

They both contributed to the discussion and to the interview. And they definitely make more of a splash when they visit countries like Nigeria or Colombia together.”
However, this separation professionally has led to speculation regarding their marriage.
Meghan has found these rumours draining according to an insider.
The source said: “She has really felt the strain in recent weeks, and with all the speculation surrounding her and Harry and their marriage.
“They haven’t done themselves any favours by doing so many separate events but this is what they have decided to do as it works best for them at the moment as a couple and they both feel they can shine at events that are close to their hearts.”
Harry and Meghan stepped down as working members of the Royal Family in 2020 and moved to the US to pursue a career as a power couple.

Last month, a source told the Times that Harry wants to leave behind the celebrity nonsense and instead recover his reputation by becoming known as a serious philanthropic player.
The insider added that the duke does not want his old role in the Royal Family back.

However, it has not worked out that way for Sussexes, with setbacks including being dropped by Spotify and a backlash from many on their consistent public attacks on the Royal Family.
