As Meghan Markle enjoys a wave of professional success in 2025, Prince Harry is reportedly feeling uncertain about his next move—highlighting a growing contrast between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s ambitions.
According to royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, Harry is finding himself increasingly overshadowed by Meghan, who has been making bold strides in her career over the past several months. The Duchess of Sussex kicked off the year with a high-profile return to Instagram, followed by the launch of several new ventures, including a Netflix show, a podcast partnership with Lemonada Media, and the debut of her lifestyle brand, As Ever.
Meghan Markle’s Momentum vs. Prince Harry’s Uncertainty
While Meghan continues to expand her business empire, Harry has remained largely out of the spotlight—aside from his appearances at the Invictus Games in February. Fitzwilliams suggests that the Duke lacks the same level of “ruthless” ambition that has propelled Meghan to the forefront of media and entrepreneurship.
“Harry is increasingly finding himself as the spare in a relationship with Meghan, which undoubtedly involves mutual affection, but where their priorities differ widely,” Fitzwilliams told MailOnline.
Despite reports that Prince Harry is planning an undisclosed commercial venture in the coming months, sources close to the royal expert claim that his heart remains with charity work, a realm where he feels most authentic and engaged.
Prince Harry’s Passion Lies in Philanthropy
Fitzwilliams praised Harry’s genuine connection to causes like the Invictus Games and the WellChild Awards, saying:
“Invictus means a lot to him. It was a joy to see him at the WellChild Awards last year. He genuinely enjoyed being with the children—it seemed as though the ‘old Harry’ was temporarily back.”
However, the expert also noted a distinct difference between the couple’s approaches, adding:
“Though often emotional, Harry lacks Meghan’s ruthlessness, which was so apparent in the Oprah interview.”
What’s Next for Prince Harry?
While Meghan thrives in the commercial spotlight, Harry’s next chapter remains unclear. With increasing speculation surrounding his next venture, many are eager to see whether he will step further into the business world or double down on his charitable efforts.
Regardless of the path he chooses, the Duke’s personal journey continues to captivate royal watchers around the world.
