The Twitterverse recently lit up with passionate discussions and polarizing views about recent allegations suggesting Meghan Markle might be better served pursuing solo ventures rather than teaming up with her husband, Prince Harry.
This speculation stemmed from an unidentified source cited by U.K's Closer magazine. The unnamed insider reportedly said that Markle was heartbroken over losing their reputed $20 million, multi-year deal with Spotify and the ensuing backlash, including a disparaging remark from a Spotify executive. The tabloid alleges that in the aftermath of the Spotify deal collapse, Markle's confidants advised her to concentrate on independent projects.
According to the unnamed source, Markle's team believes that her future may be constrained if she continues working as part of 'Brand Sussex.' They purportedly suggested that more solo ventures could salvage her career, providing breathing space and reinstating confidence.
However, Business Times was unable to confirm these claims independently, and no public comments have been made by the Sussexes' representatives.
The article ignited fierce debates on Twitter, with some dismissing the notion of Markle thriving without Prince Harry, and others suggesting that the former "Suits" actress might face challenges irrespective of her husband's presence.
While some commenters expressed doubts about Markle's potential to shine alone, others dismissed the claims as false and extended their support to the Duchess of Sussex.
These new allegations are not the first hinting at a professional divergence between Prince Harry and Markle. Celia Walden of The Daily Telegraph noted on GB News that the pair appear to be following distinct paths.
Page Six recently reported that an anonymous source revealed Prince Harry's intent to embark on a solo journey to Africa for an upcoming Netflix documentary. Meanwhile, following the non-renewal of Markle's "Archetypes" podcast for a second season, the Duchess has been reportedly developing new content for another platform, according to a representative from WME, Markle's talent agency.
Despite rumors of separate professional pursuits, the Duke and Duchess are set to reunite for "Heart of Invictus," a docuseries spotlighting the annual games for service members and veterans founded by Prince Harry. Netflix is scheduled to broadcast the series in August.
