In a world craving real-life fairy tales, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have often been hailed as the ultimate love story. Their public displays of affection, unwavering loyalty, and glamorous evolution from royal rebels to global celebrities have earned them legions of admirers. The former Suits star’s rise from humble roots to duchess status only deepened the fascination. Prince Harry has remained her fiercest supporter through every storm. Yet, despite the adoration, some royal watchers remain sharply skeptical of the foundation beneath their polished façade.

Experts alleged Meghan Markle is strategically leveraging Prince Harry’s royal fame to fuel her brand empire.

Canadian lawyer Phillip Millar and California marketing executive Camille Moore, hosts of The Art of the Brand podcast, have slammed Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand in a recent episode of their podcast. They claimed she is “milking” her marriage to Prince Harry to push products and deceive consumers. Millar called her a “fraud” and declared, “Meghan Markle sucks as far as I’m concerned.” Both experts agreed that the brand launch is among the worst they have ever seen.

Brand experts Phillip Millar and Camille Moore slammed Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand As Ever, calling it a major misfire. Millar criticised the team behind it as poorly organised and overly focused on cashing in on her fame from Suits and her royal ties. He argued the brand feels fake, claiming the Duchess is trying too hard to appear like a homemaker, also suggesting that the brand’s early success reflects how easily some consumers can be manipulated. As the As Ever brand owner faces backlash, the Duke seems to be charting his course, separate from the Duchess and her brand.

Prince Harry may be signaling a shift in direction, quietly stepping away from Meghan Markle’s polished Netflix persona to hint at a more independent and personal brand of his own.

Prince Harry appears to be laying the groundwork for a personal transformation, one that distances him from past royal rifts and positions him as an independent figure. His recent visit to Angola, echoing Princess Diana’s famed humanitarian walk, speaks volumes. Reports of his team quietly engaging with King Charles’s aides only fuel speculation of a possible royal thaw. As Meghan Markle focuses on building her brand, the Spare author seems equally intent on shaping his legacy, one rooted in purpose, not palace politics.

It seems Prince Harry's new team is cautiously pressing the reset button, steering him toward solo engagements that highlight his strengths and humanitarian legacy. His symbolic walk through Angola, mirroring Princess Diana’s historic moment, appears to be more than just nostalgia; it signals a redefined identity. As Netflix quietly distances itself from Meghan Markle’s ventures, the Duke now looks more independent than ever. And while the couple remains under constant public scrutiny, fresh allegations suggest the Duchess has used the Duke’s stature to fuel her personal brand.
