Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are on their last few weeks of royal duties in the United Kingdom. After March 31, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be off to North America to pursue their financial independence and leave the royal spotlight.
Leaving the royal family, however, might close the doors of opportunities for Prince Harry and Meghan, according to CNN Europe royal correspondent Max Foster. He said that Prince Harry had easy access to government departments and other channels before, and those won't likely be more open now that Prince Harry is no longer a senior royal member.
Forster also said that Prince Harry and Meghan would be selling their image as private individuals to gather support for their causes and charities. It is believed that the Duke of Sussex will launch his career as an inspirational speaker, but Foster said this is going to be tough when Prince Harry doesn't have a wealth of experience to speak of.
Prince Harry and Meghan were banking on their brand, Sussex Royal, when they step back from the royal family. The couple applied for trademarks for their name for future productive ventures.
However, Queen Elizabeth barred the couple from using Sussex Royal, thus canceling their trademark. Prince Harry and Meghan stated the rejection, which royal experts said was an insult to the Queen.
Sources told Us Weekly, that Queen Elizabeth is disappointed by Prince Harry's reaction to the trademark rejection and ban to use "Sussex Royal." Apparently, the Queen also feels embarrassed by this Megxit situation.
An insider told Vanity Fair that Queen Elizabeth is done talking about Prince Harry and Meghan. As much as possible, she would like to get this over and done with as it's been damaging to the monarchy.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry is now in London ahead of Meghan's return. The Duke of Sussex was in Edinburgh for a royal engagement with Travalyst. He is also going to Abbey Road to see through an Invictus Games theme song recording.
Next week, Prince Harry and Meghan will be attending joint events for their final royal engagements. Their visit back to London will also culminate on Commonwealth Day, where the rest of the royal family will troop to Westminster Abbey for the service.
It will be a reunion for Prince Harry and Meghan and the royals since they left for Canada in January. It's expected that their son Archie will also be with his parents.
