A royal insider tells PEOPLE. "The Duke and Duchess have now hit their stride as individuals – not just as a couple. The Duke appears focused on his patronage work, and the Duchess focused on her entrepreneurial track,"

Our opinion is the Sussex PR machine is fending off the Duchess Difficult narrative and found a friendly harbor in PEOPLE. The article explains how Meghan is investing her energy into upcoming projects like her American Riviera brand and the Netflix series. We are reminded how Meghan continues to support causes related to mental health and children’s welfare, while Harry balances his nonprofit efforts with other projects, such as his upcoming Netflix polo documentary which sounds fun except for the part about it really being about Nacho.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, Welcome through Palace Intry again. First

00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:18.679
Work Rances People brings us inside Meghan Markel and Prince

00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:23.120
Harry's new dynamic. A twin track approach is evolving. A

4
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:26.039
Royal insinator tells people that Duke and Duchess have now

5
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.879
hit their stride as individuals, not just as a couple.

6
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:31.960
The Duke appears focused on his patronage work and the

7
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:35.759
Duchess focused on her entrepreneurial track. Our opinion is the

8
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:39.479
Sussex pr machine is fending off the duchess difficult narrative

9
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:43.280
and founder friendly harbor. In People, the article explains how

10
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.159
Meghan is investing her energy into upcoming projects like her

11
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:49.640
American Riviera brand and the Netflix series. We are reminded

12
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.640
how Meghan continues to support causes related to mental health

13
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.200
and children's welfare, while Harry balances his nonprofit efforts with

14
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:00.600
other projects, such as his upcoming Netflix Polo documentary, which

15
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:02.719
sounds fun except for the part about it really being

16
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:06.319
about Nacho. According to Insiders, this shift does not only

17
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:09.840
imply it split between them, and entrepreneurial and enterprise focus

18
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:12.519
is going to be more the Duchess's priority and the

19
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:15.680
Duke will continue to champion his not for profit patronages.

20
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:20.120
A friend shared Megan's absence from recent events reflects parenting

21
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.120
priorities as they alternate staying home with their children. The

22
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.560
friend added, it's as much a reflection on parenting priorities

23
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:29.480
in that one of them stays behind with the children.

24
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.239
The couple's decision to sometimes appears separately also helps some

25
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:38.280
navigate intense media scrutiny, and Insider remarked, had Meghan accompanied Harry,

26
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.239
critics might have accused her of trying to steal the spotlight.

27
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.079
The truth is this couple is damned if they do,

28
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.599
damned if they don't. Despite the PR success with people,

29
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.560
the Sussexes are now faced with yet another departure, and ironically,

30
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.760
they may not have their PR leader to change the narrative.

31
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.760
Ashley Hansen, Harry and Meghan's global press secretary, has announced

32
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.480
her departure from the role to start her own public

33
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:05.640
relations firm, Three Gate Strategies. Hanson, who has worked with

34
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:07.480
the Duke and Duchess of Success for over two years,

35
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.919
will continue to represent them as her first clients. Her

36
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.719
new firm, based in Los Angeles, will provide communications and

37
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.599
brand management services to high profile individuals in various industries

38
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:21.840
including entertainment, tech, finance. In a statement, Megan expressed her

39
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:25.000
pride in Hanson's new venture, saying, we are so proud

40
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.199
of Ashley, especially as a female entrepreneur. We look forward

41
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.199
to having her focused expertise on our business and creative

42
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:35.120
projects in her continued oversight of our communications team. My

43
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:37.199
husband and I are excited to be alongside actually as

44
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:41.800
she builds something extraordinarily special with her firm. Hanson also

45
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.800
shared her gratitude, stating, I am incredibly grateful to the

46
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.280
Duke and Duchess for their continued trust in me. Their

47
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.120
unwavering support and belief in my new firm has been

48
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.319
meaningful and is a testament to their leadership. I knew

49
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.319
when they first hired me that they were giving me

50
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:57.800
the opportunity of a lifetime, and I couldn't be happier

51
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.680
to continue working together by the positive sentiments. Hanson is

52
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:06.479
the nineteenth staff member to leave the Sussex's team. Previously,

53
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:08.840
she defended Meghan against the claims and the Hollywood reporter

54
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:12.680
that labeled the Duchess as Duchess difficult. Following accusations that

55
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.159
Meghan have reduced staff members to tears. Hanson commended the

56
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.319
couple's support during her own medical leave, sharing that Meghan

57
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.199
personally reached out to her husband daily, saying, you don't

58
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.719
realize how much that kind of kindness and thought means

59
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.039
until you need it. Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan are preparing

60
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.479
to mark World Mental Health Day on October tenth, with

61
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:34.520
a focus on mental health in the workplace. This year's

62
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:37.800
event contrasts with last years in person gathering hosted by

63
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:41.280
their Archwell Foundation in New York. This shift comes amidst

64
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.680
recent reports referring to Meghan as a demon boss, prompting

65
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:49.159
challenges in navigating their public role. Royal author Pauline McLaren,

66
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:51.919
a professor of marketing and consumer Research at Royal Holloway

67
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.120
University in London, looks back at Spare and says they

68
00:03:55.199 --> 00:04:00.479
probably underestimated the backlash, particularly towards Harry's book. Read that

69
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.759
and although it was a best seller, it didn't really

70
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.240
promote him to any heights of terms of people giving

71
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.639
him accolades. I would imagine all of that would have

72
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.879
shocked them, but one would presume they have retreated. They

73
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.319
have probably retreated to the point that anything they say

74
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:18.639
will get criticized and twisted. Marketing expert Matt Yanovski spoke

75
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.439
to The Times about American riviera Orchard. I would have

76
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.720
major concerns if I'm an investor in AR. If I'm

77
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:26.879
an investor and I'm saying to Megan, you need to

78
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.319
find a CEO with a direct business plan that's going

79
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.439
to show profitability or at least a revenue plan within

80
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:35.800
the next sixty to ninety days. Otherwise I'm taking my

81
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.480
money out. He added, I'd be happy to eat my

82
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:40.279
words and best of luck to her, but as of

83
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.480
right now, ARO seems like it's the wrong product with

84
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:51.199
the wrong people. Pallas Intrica me right back. Sixteen year

85
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.120
old Liz Hatton, a brave UK team battling a rare

86
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.079
and aggressive form of cancer, received an unexpected and heartwarming

87
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.399
surprise visit during her visit to Windsor Castle on wh Wednesday.

88
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.560
Initially Invited to photograph an investiture ceremony led by Prince William,

89
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.480
Liz found herself sharing a personal moment with the Prince

90
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.920
and his wife, Kate Middleton, who surprised her with a

91
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.600
heartfelt meeting in a hug after the ceremony. Speaking to

92
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.240
BBC Radio, Liz expressed her shock ANDed item meeting the

93
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.000
royal couple, noting none of us were really expecting it necessarily,

94
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:23.360
except for my little brother apparently. She described the interaction

95
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:26.680
as amazing, likening it to chatting with normal people due

96
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.959
to their genuine kindness and humanity. On her Instagram story,

97
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.240
Liz shared a photo of the touching moment with Kate,

98
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.800
expressing her joy over the experience such lovely, genuine and

99
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.560
kind people. She wrote, thrilled to have shared the day

100
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.839
with her family. The royal imitation was sparked by a

101
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.199
photography bucket list posted by Liz's mother on social media

102
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:50.199
in May, aimed at helping Liz create memorable experiences amidst

103
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:54.319
her challenging health journey. William first learned about Liz's dreams

104
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.959
through his role with London's Air Ambulance, and the connection

105
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.360
between Liz and Kate runs deeper than mere coincidence. Women

106
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:04.680
have faced cancer diagnosis and both share a passion for photography.

107
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:08.680
Kate's the patron of the Royal Photographic Society and often

108
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:12.920
shares her own family photos. During her BBC interview, Liz

109
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.040
expressed a desire to fill her life with as many

110
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.759
positive experiences as possible, believing that happy memories are what

111
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:21.439
truly matter, not just for herself, but also for those

112
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.199
who share in them. Her mother, Vicki Rabina, voiced her

113
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:26.480
gratitude to everyone who has gone out of their way

114
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.199
to make Liz's dreams come true, acknowledging the bittersweek nature

115
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:32.920
of their situation. Would we choose to have Liz forever

116
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.279
and none of these experiences? Of course we would, but

117
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:39.399
that's not on the cards we shared with you yesterday.

118
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.399
Some of the Daily Beasts article titled secret Plans for

119
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.800
King Charles's death are already tearing the royal family apart.

120
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.079
They got into the siblings, with the author reporting one

121
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.519
of Andrew's friends told me recently that he is seeking

122
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:54.439
to run out the clock on Charles. He is fighting

123
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.720
the attempts to a victim and the knowledge that come

124
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.160
the change of rain. Kicking an obstinate prince out of

125
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.879
a crumbling palace will be fairly low on King Williams's

126
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.319
lists of priorities. They also wonder about Princess Anne under

127
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.639
the reign of King william Writing, often described as the

128
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.959
hardest working royal. Her life is filled with zooming around

129
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:14.600
the country, squeezing in five hundred plus engagements a year.

130
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:16.959
William has made it very clear that he doesn't see

131
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.839
that as the family's role anymore, preferring a tiny number

132
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.839
of limited, high impact engagements and events to the paternalistic

133
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:28.600
seen to be believed helicopter rioting royal attitude of old

134
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.560
the King's other brother, Prince Edward, and Edward's wife Sophie,

135
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.519
Duchess of Edinburgh, who are neither great friends nor enemies

136
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:37.040
with Charles, have successfully won the trust and affection of

137
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:39.439
William and Kate, and they are likely to be rewarded

138
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:42.720
with a promotion when William's reign begins. This elevation may

139
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.399
even see their kids. Viscount James and Lady Louise made

140
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:50.560
the first new working royals in a generation. And then,

141
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:52.959
of course there is Harry the Beast writes in the
