Meghan Markle has been backed to come out on top in a ratings battle between the Sussexes following their professional separation.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have pivoted to making solo public appearances and undertaking projects on their own as they move away from their goal of achieving power couple status.
Meghan and Harry signed a joint deal with Netflix after stepping down as working members of the Royal Family in 2020.
The Sussexes’ debut series Harry & Meghan was a huge hit on the streaming platform and broke several Netflix records.

They featured heavily in it together but have since changed tactics in the content they are producing for the streaming giant.
Harry released Heart of the Invictus in August 2023 which Meghan barely featured in but the series failed to reach the same level of success as their debut project.
The Duke of Sussex’s next project titled Polo will be released on December 10.
Meanwhile, the Duchess of Sussex will feature in a cookery programme on Netflix in 2025.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told GB News that Meghan’s project will be much more of an attraction for Netflix customers.
Fitzwilliams said: “Meghan’s cookery programme will have a lot of viewers.
“There is no doubt it will be more successful than Polo.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did not appear in the trailer for Polo, despite it being executively produced by them.
The 148-second trailer focussed entirely on the polo players and their relationships within the sport.

Earlier this year, an insider said the series would centre around Harry’s close friend, polo player, Nacho Figueras rather than the Duke of Sussex.
The source told the Mail: “Any reasonable person tuning into a show about polo made by Prince Harry would expect Harry to take a starring role.
“That he’s not is hugely disappointing for Netflix. Let’s face it, polo isn’t exactly a mainstream sport so the attraction would have been watching Harry. Without him, it’s marginal at best.”
