Since stepping down as working members of the Royal Family in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been working to build their own brand while enjoying a more private family life in California.

However, it seems te pressure is increasing for the couple, with tensions rising after the end of their exclusive Spotify deal, Harry receiving backlash over his recognition award, and growing concerns about the future of their Netflix partnership.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have consistently shown a united front and navigated many challenges, as seen in their Netflix series, public appearances, and joint involvement in the Invictus Games.

However, it appears their intense efforts to succeed on their own may be taking a toll, with a source claiming that for the first time in a while, the couple is not working together, leading to a “growing rift” between them.

“This has been such a challenging few months for Meghan and Harry and the pressure they are under is immense. They feel they are constantly under attack. When they first left the royals, they had so much support and that support seems to be dwindling over time and they’re facing increasing criticism,” a source claimed, reports OK!.

“Harry has been really hurt by the backlash over his award nomination and Meghan is still reeling over the Spotify axe as she loved doing that podcast and she knows people want her to fail with her next project so there’s quite a lot of tension in the house at the moment.”
