The couple have other earnings sources, from inheritance to the gross sales of Harry’s memoir Spare, which was the fastest-selling non-fiction e book in the UK since data started in 1998. A return to appearing for Meghan even seems attainable.

The BBC has discovered she is in talks about a position in Netflix sequence The Gentlemen, a comedy sequence created by Guy Ritchie about a duke who becomes a drug baron. No particulars have yet been revealed, but this would be Meghan’s first vital appearing position since her marriage to Prince Harry.

Since 2024, Meghan’s skilled focus has been on her way of life vary, As ever, which was initially supported by Netflix before that partnership ended in March. As ever sells jams, teas, candles and other merchandise “crafted to elevate your everyday and inspire moments of joy”, and there is no indication that it will finish when she strikes across the Atlantic.

One potential alternative is their mooted transfer to the A-list haven of the Cotswolds, where they are believed to have frolicked earlier this summer time.

Laura Stoloff, an American stylist and artistic director who lives in London and the Cotswolds with her British husband Harry, sees “a natural connection” between Meghan’s way of life model and Cotswolds life.

“I actually think it could make her brand more distinctive,” Stoloff tells the BBC. “There is still a lot of fascination with English country life, particularly in America, and she has the ability to bring that to a very large, global audience.”

Stephen has a warning, though: “A return to the UK could be a useful brand reset, but a postcode does not reposition a brand. Behaviour does.”
