Prince Harry to 'focus on passion projects' as he 'never liked' celebrity life with Meghan


The Sussexes last month confirmed their deal with Spotify was over, however they still have various projects in the pipeline with Netflix, including their documentary Heart of Invictus scheduled for release next month.

Culture and brand expert Rochelle White told Mirror US that staying out of the spotlight and focusing on philanthropy is where Harry’s interests truly lie, as it is Meghan who is more comfortable with public attention.

She said: “I feel that this is pretty much on brand for him. Meghan is used to being in the public eye before she even got with Harry, and I feel that out of both of them, she is the one that everyone would want to speak to and work with.”

Ms White noted that Meghan, who recently signed a new deal with powerful agent Ari Emanuel, could “become a brand and build on what she started in regards to her blog, The Tig, and build on that”.

Before marrying into the Royal Family Meghan ran a successful lifestyle blog The Tig, with rumours suggesting she could resurrect the platform and develop her career as an influencer.

Ms White said of the Duchess: “No matter what people say, she has got fans and people who are influenced by her style and life, and this could work well.

“Looking at past behaviour, I feel that Harry has never been a fan of the ‘celebrity life’, and I can see him working and doing things that mean more to him and that he enjoys.”

“He’s been open enough to make that clear, and I don’t want to say he will be doing passion projects, but I don’t think it will be far from it.”

Despite some claiming Harry and Meghan’s deal with Netflix was on the rocks, a spokesperson from the platform vehemently denied this was the case.

They told Entertainment Tonight: “The bond with Archewell Productions is one we deeply value. Harry & Meghan launched as Netflix’s most spectacular documentary debut to date.”

One of their next projects is a prequel to the 1861 novel Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, thought to be called Bad Manners and based on the character Miss Havisham.

Others have speculated that Harry could return to Africa, with his charity Sentebale based in Lesotho, and work on projects close to his heart there.
