Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Reportedly Struggle To Rebrand Themselves Amid The Coronavirus Pandemic
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle officially gave up their royal family member status on Mar. 31. While it is the perfect time to revive brand Harry and Meghan, the former royal couple are self-isolating in Hollywood - this is possibly one of the biggest drawbacks of not holding the Sussex Royal title anymore.
A global pandemic can change lives in multiple ways. For instance, the global news agenda focused on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just three months ago, before the duo dramatically declared their decision to step back as senior working royals. Following the shocking announcement, Harry and Meghan launched a website that comprised a wish list of demands indicating how the duo wants their new position to be set up.
But much to their chagrin, the palace turned down their demands one by one, initially in private briefings and later publicly. It is no longer a secret that both Harry and Meghan will need to find their own ways to generate funds. Reports of the exact amount the couple might be worth on the open market began doing the rounds.
The couple has been associated with untold riches that go well with the celebrity status until Tuesday, when, amidst absolute silence, they formally gave up their senior royals stature. As a result, Harry and Meghan are now touted as just two ordinary citizens living in self-isolation in the Los Angeles residence.
Details about Harry and Meghan's exact location are still few and far between; however, The Daily Beast suggests they are highly likely to have shifted to a spacious pad in West Hollywood. While the duo might be living in relatively better circumstances than a lot of other people across the globe, they might be spending sleepless nights trying to figure out how the world will look like after the pandemic comes to an end.
On Monday, Harry and Meghan announced the cessation of their Sussex Royal Instagram account, posting a typical message wherein the duo thanked their fans for the support they've offered until now. Nevertheless, the message sparked hope that a new account will be launched shortly.
The final post showed a clear lack of professionalism and negligence to details, hinting at their 'it’ll-all-be-OK' attitude. Last month, Harry and Meghan announced that they will no longer be using the word royal in their branding while pointing out that the monarchy does not control the use of the word "royal" in foreign countries.
