The Duke of Sussex is professedly beginning where he means to continue with regards to his and Meghan Markle’s supposed ‘professional separation’, having now travelled solo overseas.
Prince Harry landed in China yesterday (26 May) – which just so occured to be the same day his estranged father King Charles III touches down in Canada for his own state visit.
The trip comes just hours after another major move was published for the couple, again hinting at Harry and Meghan going their separate ways when it comes to their work-based endeavours.
GB News shared yesterday that the Sussexes were in the midst of building their own ‘royal’ household structure, having each hired their own chief of staff and a full-fledged team to work for them.
The separation has been considered as somewhat of a surprise, as it’ll see their household ran in a way that resembles that of other members of the monarchy, like King Charles and Camilla, and Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Harry has chosen Miranda Barbot to run his brigade. Barbot worked already as a political and media adviser, and someone who famously assisted with former POTUS Barack Obama’s re-election in 2012.
Meghan, meanwhile, is reported to have hired the former aid of Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates, Sarah Fosmo, to look after her affairs.
Communications strategist Meredith Kendall Maines is also said to have been hired to control the split household’s newly-hired 11 staff members, who’ll be operating out of both Montecito, California – where the couple now reside – and Harry’s home-country, the UK.
The separation is considered to form part of the pair’s plan to ‘professionally separate’ – a term first applied in late last year to show Harry and Meghan’s plans to center on their own ventures, rather than building everything as a couple.
The first thing in the pair’s new ‘strategy’ initially experiences the Sussexes take on joint tours in 2024 – to the likes of Colombia and Nigeria – before the second item on the list saw them ‘center on building their individual brands in the States, rather than pursuing power couple status’.
