Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s controversies have put their Sussex brand in jeopardy, according to sources close to the couple.

Tensions began mounting last month when Megan launched her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, without consulting key advisers.

The rollout was criticized across social media platforms, and Harry was left shocked by the backlash. Megan’s recent appearance at a Cheragala in Los Angeles further strained relations between the couple.

The couple’s Netflix deal is already on shaky ground following disappointing viewership numbers for their documentary series.

Megan allegedly demanded creative control over a new project that was meant to highlight Harry’s conservation work, which executives at Netflix were reportedly put off by her insistence on being the focal point of what was intended to be Harry’s passion project.

Harry’s rigid posture and force smiles during a recent video call with potential investors for their Archule Foundation have been noted as a sign of his losing interest or influence over their joint ventures.

The couple’s staff turnover continues to raise eyebrows in industry circles, with three senior employees leaving the Sussex team in the past four months alone citing differences in vision as a reason for leaving insiders.

Financial pressures are also mounting for the couple, as their Monteito mansion requires significant income to sustain Harry’s book deal and their Netflix contract is reportedly under review. Megan’s lifestyle brand was meant to establish a steady revenue stream but its troubled launch has failed to attract the high-end partnership she had anticipated.

Harry is deeply concerned about their financial future, as their expensive lifestyle requires consistent income. Megan’s apparent inability to maintain close friendships has created an isolating bubble around them, and the cultural differences between Harry’s British upbringing and Megan’s Hollywood background have become more pronounced.
