Ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle became the center of attention in a family full of royals, they have not had the best luck with friendships or familial relationships. Despite the glitz and glamor, their personal lives have been marred by public scrutiny and familial tensions. The pressure of royal obligations, coupled with media scrutiny, undoubtedly took a toll on their previous relationships. But as they turned a new chapter, simultaneously adding perhaps the most dramatic abstract in recent royal history, the couple hoped for a change.

The Sussexes moved to California, away from the royal family, hoping to catch a break from the haunting headlines of their failing relationships. However, they were not very successful in achieving the same. A feat that they are hoping to change once and for all.

Following the failure of their multi-million dollar Spotify deal, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were losing some of their most hard-earned friends in Hollywood, such as the Beckhams, one after another. This, on top of the fact that they were already in troubled waters owing to the deal falling off, did all the wrong wonders for the Sussexes’ public image. As they finally found a semblance of balance post-Invictus Games, the Californian couple is determined not to make the same mistakes again. According to relationship expert, Hope Flynn’s statements to the Mirror, the Sussexes are “distancing” themselves from many of their friends in the spotlight.

The Sussexes, owing to their connection with the royal family, attract scrutiny no matter what they do. On top of all this, the royal couple do not need friends who would add more trouble to their plate. Therefore, after being dragged through the mud over the past couple of months, choosing friends wisely is their first plan of action.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decided to make a fresh start when they made an exit from the royal family. Ever since then, they have tried to establish themselves as a power couple in Hollywood. And while they have achieved this to some extent, it has not worked all that well for the Californian royals. This is especially true as their Spotify deal has fallen off and their Netflix deal is nearing an end. Therefore, a revamp may not be out of the question.

The Invictus Games have brought them plenty of positive attention, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are likely gearing up to use it to their advantage. However, this does not mean that it will be a smooth sail for the Sussexes from here on. Especially as the former actress wants to go big on a global scale, whereas the Duke is hoping to spend a quieter life. Given how the couple has had no problem in supporting each other so far, another revamp might not be much of a challenge.
