Sussex’s Career in the US Comes to a Close

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have officially stepped away from their roles as working royals in pursuit of financial independence.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are now navigating a new chapter in the United States, but it seems they may be encountering some challenges as they strive to connect with American audiences outside the royal realm.

Professor Selly Altness has pointed out that the Sussexes might be keeping a low profile as they settle into their lives across the pond.

According to her, the couple's appeal in the US could be limited due to the lack of strong ties to the royal family.

Americans, she believes, may be experiencing a sense of fatigue following the recent extensive media coverage of the Queen.

Furthermore, Professor Altness predicts that pressing issues such as economic concerns, upcoming midterm elections, and global affairs, particularly involving Vladimir Putin, are likely to overshadow public interest in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

This shift in focus could potentially impact the couple's efforts to establish themselves in their new environment.

Meanwhile, Professor Pauline McLaren of Royal Holloway University of London has observed signs of a growing distance between the Sussexes and the royal family, even during public displays of unity following the Queen's passing.

Despite their past discretion in criticizing the Queen, Harry and Meghan are reportedly considering revisions to their upcoming projects to avoid straining relations further.

Royal insiders suggest that the couple's hesitance to openly criticize the Queen has been out of respect for her, but adjustments to their memoir and TV series are being contemplated.

These changes are expected to be made post the release of Harry's memoir and their Netflix documentary series, potentially affecting any chance of reconciliation within the family.

As speculation swirls around their future plans, royal commentators have raised questions about the Sussexes' choice to reside in California, a region known for its celebrity hub.

Reports suggest that Meghan and Harry are exploring the possibility of relocating from their current £11 million mansion to a more secluded setting to enhance their privacy and security.

Local sources in Montecito hint at the couple's search for a new residence, with considerations for a neighborhood offering greater seclusion and exclusivity.

The prospect of moving to an estate in Hope Ranch has been discussed, with suggestions that the current property may not align with their evolving needs for privacy and space.

Christine Ross and Christina Garibaldi, hosts of a podcast, deliberated on the potential move, expressing concerns over the couple's safety and privacy in their current high-profile neighborhood.

The presence of paparazzi and the constant exposure to public attention have raised doubts about the suitability of their current location for the Sussexes' desired lifestyle.

Ms. Garibaldi proposed the idea of a more remote setting for the couple, away from the bustling celebrity scene in California, to ensure enhanced privacy and security.

The discussion highlighted the challenges faced by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as they navigate their transition to a more independent life outside the confines of royal obligations.
