Meghan Markle is building a standalone career through her brand, media projects, and global events, signaling a clear shift from her royal role.

Meghan Markle is increasingly building a standalone public and professional identity, focusing on her lifestyle brand As Ever, fashion events, and media projects like her Netflix series and podcast, signaling a strategic shift from her earlier role as part of a royal couple. While still united personally with Prince Harry, who supports her independence and focuses on philanthropy, their professional paths are now distinct. Recent solo appearances and a major holiday product launch highlight her growing global presence, though this divergence may complicate any future return to royal duties due to the monarchy’s traditional image. The couple remains publicly united, as seen at the World Series, but their evolving roles reflect a deliberate effort to redefine their post-royal lives on their own terms.
