After Relocating to the US, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Strive to Forge Their Own Paths
Since their move to the USA, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been exploring avenues to establish their own entrepreneurial ventures. The degree of success they have enjoyed appears to ebb and flow, possibly due to the media's intense focus on their royal connections. Notably, their relationship with the royal family seems to have cooled off recently.

The British Royal Family encounters challenges

This year has been particularly challenging for the British royal family. Initially, King Charles made headlines with his cancer diagnosis announcement. Shortly thereafter, within less than two months, Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, shared that she, too, is battling cancer. The Duchess has commenced treatment and has since been absent from public appearances.

Royal Family Faces Health Battles

According to recent statements, King Charles is anticipated to resume most of his official duties soon. Currently, he is mainly focusing on state documents and has held meetings with prominent politicians on occasion. Photographers notably captured his meeting with the British Prime Minister in February.

Prince Harry and Meghan's reaction to the Royal Family's healt crises

Upon learning of his father's condition, Prince Harry made a point to visit King Charles, flying directly from the US for a brief, approximately 45-minute conversation. Harry and Meghan publicly expressed their support after the news of Kate's diagnosis.

"We wish Kate and the family health and a speedy recovery. We hope they can manage this privately and in peace," they shared with Vanity Fair.

Since then, Harry and Meghan have remained largely silent on the matter. This is quite unexpected, considering their previous eagerness to share insights into royal life, including candid interviews and Harry's autobiographical book detailing his royal experiences. Their current silence raises questions.
Experts in royal affairs from both the USA and the UK suggest that Harry and Meghan's value in the public eye largely hinges on their royal connections. However, their frosty relations with the royal family may have left them out of the loop.

"We understand that Harry and Meghan are now disconnected from the latest developments. They seem to be in the dark about Kate's health status and equally uninformed about the king's condition, leaving them with little to share with the media," Maureen Callahan remarked during a discussion with GBN America.

Despite speculation about a potential reconciliation between William and Harry amidst their father's illness, they have yet to find common ground.
