Ever wondered how a Duke and Duchess balance their royal duties with a thriving social life? Well, it appears Prince Harry’s return to the UK is more of a whirlwind than a leisurely stroll! Reports are swirling that he’s feeling the pressure, as he dives headfirst into charity events and public speeches while Meghan Markle seems to be taking it a bit easier—perhaps indulging in a bit too much “Hollywood jolly” time with her celebrity pals. I mean, come on—could this be a cosmic sign? With Mercury retrograde, it’s always a challenge to strike the right balance in relationships! After all, is it really fitting for the Duke to be working his royal socks off while the Duchess is sipping lattes with a side of celebrity gossip? Let’s dive into the latest on this royal drama, where schedules clash and a desire for balance hangs in the cosmic air…

Prince Harry has reportedly been keeping up a demanding schedule since returning to the UK, but a new claim suggests he is growing frustrated that Meghan Markle has not been matching his pace. While the Duke of Sussex has attended charity events and delivered speeches in Britain and the United States, Meghan has maintained a considerably quieter public profile. Now, an insider alleges the difference between their workloads has become a source of tension, claiming Harry wants his wife to pursue new opportunities rather than continue “having a jolly” with her celebrity friends.

Prince Harry Reportedly Wants Meghan Markle To Work

According to New Idea, Harry has barely stopped working since the Sussexes returned to Britain, dividing his time between charitable engagements, public appearances and trips abroad. Meghan, meanwhile, has reportedly been “taking a backseat” while helping Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet settle into their new routine.

“Harry wants Meghan to work,” a royal insider claimed. The source alleged that Meghan’s workload has become a “hot topic” between the couple that has not yet been resolved. Although Meghan continues to oversee her As Ever lifestyle brand, the report portrayed her daily schedule as considerably more relaxed than Harry’s. It allegedly includes morning business calls, Pilates or yoga with friends, and collecting the children from school.

Meghan Markle’s Pub Outing Reportedly Added To The Frustration

The insider specifically contrasted Harry’s appearance at the WellChild Awards with Meghan’s reported outing alongside Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi.

“In fact, while he was at that WellChild event and being offered radio gigs for Meghan, she was having a jolly in a pub with Ellen and Portia,” the source alleged. During the event, broadcaster Gaby Roslin floated the possibility of Meghan hosting a program on Magic Radio. Harry appeared receptive to the suggestion and said he could take the idea back to his wife. The exchange did not amount to a formal job offer, and no announcement has been made that Meghan is pursuing a British radio career.

Nevertheless, the insider claimed the timing of Meghan’s outing irritated Harry because he was reportedly attempting to generate professional opportunities for her while she socialized with friends. The couple has since been photographed enjoying their own pub date, an appearance that was accused of turning their new Cotswolds surroundings into a “Hollywood circus.”

Montecito Mansion Allegedly Adds Financial Pressure

Money is reportedly another reason Harry wants Meghan to increase her workload. The couple has retained its Montecito mansion despite moving back to Britain, and the source estimated that maintaining the California property could cost approximately $1 million annually.

“Harry’s doing everything he can to keep them afloat, but they’re pushing the ledger by keeping Montecito,” the insider claimed.

Meghan allegedly wants to keep the house as a safety net if the family’s return to Britain does not work out. However, the report suggested that doing so could place additional pressure on the couple as legal expenses and the costs of maintaining two lifestyles continue to mount. The Sussexes have previously secured lucrative agreements involving Netflix, publishing and podcasting, while Meghan continues to release products through As Ever.

Meghan Markle’s Acting Comeback Has Yet To Materialize

5

A return to acting could provide Meghan with another major income stream, but recent speculation about her Hollywood future has produced few concrete developments. Reports previously linked the former “Suits” actress to Guy Ritchie’s Netflix series “The Gentlemen.” However, cast member Theo James later poured cold water on the rumor and said he was unaware of plans for Meghan to join the show. The insider claimed that the public dismissal had discouraged Meghan from pursuing acting opportunities in Britain. Her former talent representative Ari Emanuel also recently delivered a blunt response when questioned about her career. Asked where Meghan’s professional future might be headed, the Hollywood executive said, “Here’s the great thing: I don’t have to think about that anymore.”

As The Blast previously reported, Emanuel confirmed that his agency no longer represents the Duchess. Despite those setbacks, Meghan still has work. She remains closely involved with As Ever and has continued promoting its lifestyle products, including a recently released $148 chocolate Advent calendar.

Claims Of A Work Dispute Remain Unconfirmed

5

The latest report presents Harry as the busier spouse and Meghan as enjoying a slower lifestyle, but that portrayal comes entirely from unnamed sources. Running As Ever, overseeing product launches, and caring for two young children still constitute responsibilities, even if Meghan makes fewer public appearances than her husband. It is also unknown whether the couple views Harry’s charity work and Meghan’s lifestyle business as competing workloads or simply different parts of their shared professional strategy.

Still, the allegation gives a new twist to the growing scrutiny surrounding Meghan’s career following her return to Britain. Harry is reportedly trying to keep the Sussex brand moving forward, while the insider insists he wants Meghan working beside him, not merely “having a jolly” while he does the public heavy lifting.
