Prince Harry set to ‘take step back’ from spotlight of Meghan’s showbiz world

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stirred up a fair amount of controversy after releasing their Netflix documentary at the end of 2022, despite pleading for privacy. However, a new report in the Daily Mail has claimed that the Duke may be finally stepping out of the limelight. Last month a statement confirmed that Spotify and Archewell Audio would no longer be producing any new content together. A joint statement released by Spotify and Archewell in June said: “Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together.” Moreover, back in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a long-term agreement with Netflix , under which they produced the docuseries Harry & Meghan, which premiered in December.

However, now this agreement is reportedly in hot water. While the ex-actress is exploring her next career move, it appears that Harry is content with assuming a more subdued role.

According to Bloomberg, Harry had suggested interviewing individuals such as Vladimir Putin , Donald Trump , and Mark Zuckerberg, discussing various distressing experiences. Now, Meghan has signed a fresh deal with celebrity manager Ari Emanuel at WME, focusing on commercial endorsements in sectors like food, wellness, and fashion, without Harry.

Currently, a documentary commissioned by Netflix , centred around his charity for servicemen, Heart Of Invictus is said to be nearly finished. However, in the US, he is seldom seen in the celebrity circles that his wife is accustomed to as the royal seems to prefer maintaining a low profile away from the cameras, MailOnline claims. Some of Harry’s old friends have even claimed that the father-of-two has “disappeared” from their lives.
