However, questions have surfaced about their long-term plans, especially once their stories about the Royal Family are exhausted.\n<p>The couple initially secured lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify, but their output has been mixed. Notably, Meghan\u2019s <em>Archetypes podcast, which aimed to tackle female stereotypes, produced just one season before its cancellation. The article delves into several contentious moments and decisions that have defined the Sussexes\u2019 time in the U.S., including accusations of bullying, business missteps, and public perceptions.\n<p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' wp-image-51970 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/01%5C/472897625_1367618644620705_6276733177435450103_n.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"911\"' height='\"618\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><h3>Allegations of Bullying\n</h3><p>Meghan has faced allegations of bullying staff, though she has consistently denied them. Vanity Fair cites unnamed sources claiming that some employees experienced significant strain while working with Meghan, with one taking a leave of absence after contributing to <em>Archetypes. Others reportedly sought therapy or left their jobs entirely.\n<h3>Local Reputation\n</h3><p>Since purchasing a Montecito mansion in 2020, Harry and Meghan haven\u2019t won over all their neighbors. A local resident referred to them as &ldquo;the prince and the starlet,&rdquo; while others have labeled them \u201clocal villains,\u201d accusing them of drawing unwanted visitors to the area. Even the local steakhouse, Lucky\u2019s, has reportedly become harder to book since the couple\u2019s arrival.\n</p><h3>Questions About Archetypes\n</h3><p>The article claims <em>Archetypes was not Meghan\u2019s original idea but instead came from an employee, though the intellectual property remained with Archewell Audio. Delays in production reportedly forced Spotify\u2019s studio Gimlet to step in, suggesting issues with execution.\n<h3>Harry\u2019s Changing Role\n</h3><p>According to a source, Meghan has taken on a \u201ccaregiver and facilitator\u201d role in their relationship, which some have described as \u201creparenting\u201d Harry. The insider claimed that Harry has changed significantly, becoming less eager to engage with the media since his marriage.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' wp-image-51971 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/01%5C/474953792_1297015258176760_3251716009334530275_n.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"891\"' height='\"711\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><h3>Misjudging the Impact of <em>Spare\n<p>Harry\u2019s memoir, <em>Spare, generated significant controversy, especially with its revelations about royal tensions. Vanity Fair suggests Harry underestimated the fallout from the book, particularly the power of his written words to influence public opinion during an already tense period with the Royal Family.\n<h3>Criticism of Public Image\n</h3><p>A local resident described the couple as \u201cthe most entitled, disingenuous people on the planet,\u201d pointing out the irony in their decision to leave the UK to avoid media scrutiny while seemingly courting media attention in the U.S.\n</p><h3>Curtseying Claims\n</h3><p>Fashion commentator Tom Fitzgerald expressed skepticism about Meghan\u2019s claim that she was unprepared for royal protocols, such as curtseying to the Queen. He questioned how someone as detail-oriented as Meghan would not research royal customs before meeting the family.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' wp-image-51972 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/01%5C/474090924_962648372005238_7176229247615195751_n.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"981\"' height='\"552\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><h3>Monetization Efforts\n</h3><p>Meghan\u2019s attempt to brand Santa Barbara as the \u201cAmerican Riviera Orchard\u201d faced criticism, with locals dismissing the term as unfamiliar and labeling her approach as opportunistic.\n</p><h3>Lack of Creative Direction\n</h3><p>Despite securing significant deals, Vanity Fair claims the Sussexes struggled to deliver impactful content. A former employee suggested they lacked clear ideas, noting that while they wanted to tackle big themes, they had no concrete concepts to back them up.\n</p><h3>Harry\u2019s Disengagement\n</h3><p>A former Spotify employee alleged that Harry seemed disengaged during a job interview for the platform, giving off an attitude of \u201cwhy should I do this.\u201d The insider speculated that Harry would prefer not to deal with financial matters, leaving that responsibility to Meghan.\n</p><p>Despite their initial promise of a new life in the U.S., the article portrays the Sussexes as grappling with creative, professional, and personal challenges in their post-royal chapter. Their story remains a topic of fascination and controversy as they navigate the complexities of their chosen path.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>The decision by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to step back from royal duties and relocate to the United States has been revisited in a Vanity Fair article that highlights ten key ways their transition has faced challenges.
