Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have sparked a wave of discussion after their trip to Australia, with rumors circulating that the couple is considering stepping back from royal duties.
This was reported by The Telegraph. Journalists cite a source close to the couple.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's tour of Australia was a success, and the couple are considering doing more similar trips.
We tried this plan of action, and it worked. You could call it “half in, half out,” or you could, as they would say, just do what you want and do it well. The events of this week have only confirmed that they chose the right path. And it is quite likely that this model will become an example for the future,
– said the source.
Meghan and Harry's visit to Australia could become the basis for future trips, such as to the UK.
The reason for this decision may be that the couple needs to earn money. And by combining commercial opportunities with charitable activities and social responsibility, they will be able to both earn a living and continue their activities.
“This is how 99.99% of the world's population lives. They have to work to earn a living, they have to pay their electricity bills like everyone else. They are not funded by taxpayers,” another source added.
Recall that in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their departure from the royal family. This decision was unofficially called “Megxit”. The couple expressed their desire to live independently and protect their privacy.
