In recent months, Prince Harry has appeared to take a back seat while wife Meghan Markle has taken the limelight by launching her As Ever brand and Netflix show With Love, Meghan – but now Harry is reportedly planning to launch a commercial venture of his own
From launching her Netflix show to selling out the products from her As Ever, Meghan Marklehas not been far from the spotlight of late. And the Duchess of Sussex has continued to build her business empire with her podcast on female business founders and by posting snippets of her life on Instagram.
But while Meghan has basked in the limelight, the same can’t be said for Prince Harry, who appears to have taken a back seat after the couple appear to have decided to pursue different career paths. It has led some to label Harry as Meghan’s ‘spare’ in a jibe about his status as a spare to his heir to the throne older brother Prince William.
However, according to the Mail on Sunday, that could be set to change as he attempts to find a ‘new purpose’. The publication reports that Harry will be launching his own commercial venture in the next few months and the same time as concentrating on his Invictus Games Foundation – and it will be one of the first tasks for the Sussex’s newly formed team of advisors.
A source said: “Harry is unkindly described as the ‘spare’ to Meghan’s endeavours. In reality, he has been giving her the space to flourish. Now it is his time to throw himself into exciting new work. Invictus will always come first, but he has also been working on commercial ideas of his own.” The Mirror has contacted the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s representatives for comment.
News of Harry’s commercial venture comes after it was revealed he left a charity “completely gobsmacked” with an unexpected move that follows in the footsteps of his wife, Meghan.
