Prince Harry and Meghan Markle aren't ready for a future away from the royal family, an expert claims.

Mark Borkowski, the founder of Borkowski PR, spoke to the Mirror exclusively and noted how the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have experienced an adjustment, especially Harry. "It can't be easy for him [Harry] stuck in Montecito away from what he was conditioned to be - this servant to the Royal Family and the state. That was what he was bred to be," Mark said.

Harry and Meghan pulled away from royal duties in 2020 and moved to Montecito, California. The couple have also become estranged from the Royal Family, which was cemented when Harry released his memoir Spare in January 2023. Harry spoke out against his father, King Charles, as well as his brother Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton.

The couple have been trying their hand at creating content, opening Archewell Productions and Archewell Audio. With their productions company, they have a deal with Netflix, which saw them release their Harry & Meghan documentary series and Harry's upcoming Heart of Invictus documentary series about the Invictus Games he co-founded for wounded veterans. Their audio company had a deal with Spotify where Meghan hosted a podcast, but the podcast wasn't well received which led to the streaming service dropping the royals.

"I think that, you know, they will be bewildered about what they can do next," Mark said, "Given the fact that anything that they've touched, it's got overhyped and hasn't delivered." Mark believes that the current track that Harry and Meghan are on isn't the right one for them.

"They don't have a track record to be content producers. You just don't become a content creator overnight. You need a huge team. You didn't get a sensation that they had the right people around them. So all these things starting to derail," Mark said, "I would say that they're beginning to hurt slightly financially. Because, you know, they tried to set up this, foundation or whatever they were doing out of America, but it was very still trading off the royal connections."

Mark seems to think that the reason Meghan and Harry are hurting is because they didn't handle the split as well as the Royal Family did. "The royal family did a very good job where they sidelined them, they didn't comment, whatever comment they had, it was always brief and beautifully copywritten. They haven't taken the ball back and throw it back to them, they've just isolated them," he said.
