Meghan Markle's sudden flush of commercial success has left her on a "divergent path" to Prince Harry, who is having "the worst month ever" due to the Sentabale charity feud
The Duke of Sussex is embroiled in very public spat with Sophie Chandauka, the chair of the charity he co-founded in 2006 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho. He is also facing a two-day hearing at the Court of Appeal in London over his demand for taxpayer-funded police protection in order to visit the UK with his family.
Meanwhile, his wife is enjoying a new-found career as a successful entrepreneur and influencer thanks to her eight-episode Netflix cooking and gardening series, With Love, Meghan, and the launch of her lifestyle brand, As Ever.
The contrast was discussed on the latest episode of 'A Right Royal Podcast' and HELLO!'s royal editor, Emily Nash, said: "I just find it quite extraordinary that on the one you hand you have the situation that Harry finds himself in where he is literally fighting for his future security and his charitable legacy and her commercial career is completely taking off, so they couldn't be on more divergent paths if they tried at the moment.

"I think that's really quite interesting because for the first five years after they left everything they did was very much done together."
She added that it was "natural" for a couple to "start pursuing separate careers... when your children start school and they are a little bit older." "I'm sure he's very happy for her success but you have to wonder where he's going to go next," she said.
The Sun's royal editor Matt Wilkinson chipped in: "Where is he at the moment? What is he actually doing? It's all about Meghan, Meghan, Meghan at the moment. They split their working lives and what's Harry got going on at the moment."
He added that "Harry has been left with very little to do and put in the shadow of his wife, she's the successful one at the moment".
Nash said: "He is doing something because I read the New York Times interview and Meghan said when its just me and the kids for dinner, we eat this. I was like well, where's Harry, so he's clearly doing something."
Podcast host Andrea Caamano said: "He's not having a good month, I can't imagine their bedtime chat... as a married couple. Meghan's dancing on her Instagram as she's cooking while you've got Harry who's literally going through the worst month ever. I just can't picture it."
Nash added that "it does seem like Meghan is on the up" and that "everyone wants to buy her clothes, everyone wants to buy her products".
She want on: "I think the Royal Family are very happy for her to have this success and to build the career that she wants because a bad outcome would be if they were left with nothing because at that point do they do more documentaries, do they give more big interviews. I think this is a sign of them having moved on and left a lot of the conflict behind them, which they really needed to do."
