Meghan Markle is reportedly "stressed" as her deals with brands "fall apart", with the Duchess even keen for her husband Prince Harry to "get his game face on".

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior working members of the British Royal Family in 2020, with them moving to Montecito, California shortly after. And in keeping with their new Hollywood lifestyle, the couple signed deals with Spotify, Netflix, and Penguin Random House.

But despite the the glowing deals that the couple secured, last year their partnership with Spotify came to an end, which was reported to have been a mutual decision. And now, as the couple face a "make or break" year, Meghan is feeling concerned.

A source recently told Heat magazine: "This year is make or break for them, and Meghan's told Harry to step up. So far it's been her doing the lion's share of the networking, and she's stressed - largely because so many deals have fallen apart."

They added: "She wants to take a step back and feels it's time for Harry to get his game face on."

This comes after it was reported in the week that Meghan's yoga-teacher mother, Doria, 67, recently moved onto the grounds of Harry and Meghan's mansion in Montecito. According to reports, the doting grandmother of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet has moved into the Sussexes' guesthouse to help the pair through "tough times".

This comes after the Express revealed that Doria had moved onto the Sussexes' Californian estate. The source spilled: "Doria has really been Meghan’s rock over the past year. Not only has she been there for her daughter but has enjoyed helping to look after the grandchildren."

The source later added: "2023 was a tough year for both Harry and Meghan and Doria has been there for them." They said Doria now spends more time staying in Harry and Meghan's guesthouse than she does in her own house."
