After announcing their withdrawal from being senior royals, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle packed up their bags and moved to the US for a fresh start. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are currently residing in Los Angeles with their son Archie after they officially stepped down from their roles at the end of March.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had a lot of hopes after their big move to the US. The couple was even speculated to be joining the Hollywood scene since the Duchess of Sussex was an actress before tying the knot with the younger son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana in 2018.
Before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their withdrawal, the former actress gave everyone a taste of their possible future job by lending her voice to a Disney documentary titled Elephant back in August last year, which is about elephants in Africa. A video also showed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex with Bob Iger at the London premiere of The Lion King, where the pair hinted their interest in working with the Disney CEO.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also announced the name of their new foundation Archewell back in April. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared that they were inspired by the word “Arche” for their new foundation, which is also the name of their son.
Unfortunately for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, their LA plans came to a screeching halt due to the coronavirus outbreak. The global health crisis led to an implemented lockdown, which left the Duke and Duchess of Sussex with no choice but to stay home instead of pursuing their goals in the US.
Royal editor of Daily Mirror Russell Myers said that the plans of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are "up in the air" at the moment. "They had huge plans once they settled in Los Angeles... to set up their own foundation and now obviously these plans are in tatters,” he shared.
Russell Myers also noted that Prince Harry “would be leaning on” Meghan Markle’s success since LA is a “foreign world” for him. It was previously reported that while the former actress is living her dream after they moved to the US, the younger brother of Prince William is “star struck” over their new surroundings. A lot of people are not convinced that the Duke of Sussex is cut out for the Hollywood celebrity lifestyle.
