The great success seems to be missing from Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan. Now they allegedly want to reinvent themselves and their brand. The couple is even considering changing their name.
Since leaving as high-ranking working members of the British royal family, Prince Harry, 38, and Duchess Meghan, 41, have been trying to build a new life in the United States. With their brand “Archewell”, which consists of a foundation, a production company and an audio branch, they have created their own little empire. But so far there has been no great success. Will a name change and a new identity help?
Will Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan soon be called Spencer?
As reported by the British “Express”, among others, the Sussexes are currently discussing dropping their Windsor surname as part of a comprehensive brand renewal. They may instead take the name Spencer, the maiden name of Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, † 36, before her marriage to King Charles, 74.
That’s the speculation made by Royal author and pundit Tom Bower after it was announced last week that Harry and Meghan’s contract with Spotify has ended and the former actress’ podcast Archetypes will not be renewed for a second season. “What’s really interesting about the Sussexes’ renaming is that Meghan has decided that her ultimate goal in life is to be Diana,” Bower told GB News, adding, “It was always her passion, That was Harry’s passion too, and Meghan even suggested that they drop the Windsor name and take the surname Spencer. Then she would be Meghan Spencer – the new Diana.”
Will they even give up the Sussex title?
He is convinced that this project has not only been discussed amongst one another, but has already been discussed with others. “It’s not something they made up. They were actively trying to get into the role of Harry and Meghan Spencer,” says the author. The two royal dropouts would even give up their Sussex title for this, he believes, because “you have the new incarnation of Diana instead”.
Duchess Meghan had to put up with two bankruptcies in the past few days. Her contract with the audio streaming service Spotify ended after just one season of her podcast Archewell. A senior official commented in the course of this disparagingly about the Sussexes. Shortly thereafter, the design house Dior denied recent rumors that Meghan could have concluded a million-dollar deal with him as a brand face. One was “amazed” by “how the story came about,” according to the luxury label’s less than charming denial.
However, the 41-year-old does not let that get her down. According to an expert, she is already making plans to promote her personal brand. “If everything goes according to plan, former actress and Hollywood great Meghan will soon be making some high-end products in collaboration with celebrities on a new platform without the input of the royals,” says royal expert Tessa Dunlop.
