Since stepping down from their royal duties, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have settled down in a multi-dollar mansion in California with their two children.
While everything looks rosy from the outside, according to Meghan Markle’s friend, Daniel Martin, the power couple struggles like many other working parents to balance family life and juggle their multiple jobs.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are struggling to make all of it work for them.
Since arriving in California, Meghan Markle and her spouse, Prince Harry, have embraced the American spirit of entrepreneurship.
However, their hunger to have a billion-dollar brand has put a strain on the work/family life balance they are trying to achieve, according to one of Meghan Markle’s pals.
The couple, who stepped back as working members of the British royal family in 2020, has signed multiple lucrative deals.
The pair, who was aiming to be financially independent of the royal family, inked massive contracts with Netflix and Spotify.
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, released her first children’s book with reports claiming she plans to publish others.
Speculations are running high that the former actress is penning a book dealing with mental health.
Meghan Markle recently had a business meeting with a beauty brand. Many say that after seeing celebrities become billionaires with makeup and clothing lines, she is hoping to join the foray.
Queen Elizabeth II‘s grandson also landed his first job in the corporate world — he has taken an executive position at a Silicon Valley start-up.
Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex‘s net worth, grew thanks to a large contract for multiple books, including a tell-all memoir that will be out in 2022.
The British prince and Markle are also political activists and public speakers who have pushed several causes related to Black people, women, and soldiers in the spotlight.
Those various ventures have made it possible for the duo to purchase a $14 million sprawling mansion in Montecito, California, and live a lavish lifestyle.
However, according to Meghan Markle’s close friend and makeup artist, Daniel Martin, the pair is facing the tough challenge of balancing their family life and their workloads.
Prince Harry and his wife are parents to Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
He told PEOPLE Magazine: “They are experiencing the challenge of finding a work-life balance.”
He went on to say what they are now searching for as a couple and family: “It’s about finding that work-life balance now, which ties into Meghan lobbying for parental paid leave. They’re experiencing it themselves. They know it affects everyone in the family.”
As the prince and his American wife try to figure it all out, they remain bonded as a team.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are figuring it out together while being inseparable.
Martin, who did Meghan Markle’s makeup for her red carpet debut with Prince Harry at a gala in New York, said the duo was inseparable.
He said Prince Harry stayed close to his wife as he got her ready for the event, and they shared many fun moments.
He revealed to the publication: “It was so much fun to have all of us back together again. It was chill and relaxed like the gang was back together. Harry jokes around a lot, and Meghan is really funny. It was nice to have those belly laughs again!”
