Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to be “upset and bruised” following a scathing Vanity Fair article published last week, with claims that “things aren’t good for them right now.”

The feature, titled ‘Inside Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Big Business Ambitions, 5 Years After Their Royal Exit’, scrutinised the Sussexes’ post-royal endeavours. It included allegations such as someone from Meghan’s circle exploring a potential post-divorce book deal, and assertions that Beyoncé declined an invitation to appear on Meghan’s former podcast Archetypes.

The article even speculated about Harry being comfortable with Meghan being the primary breadwinner. This has left the Royal couple feeling “upset and bruised,” according to Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield, who spoke to Sky News Australia.

Schofield revealed that the couple were particularly disturbed by the piece, stating: “It is my understanding that they are upset over it [and] I’m being told that things aren’t good for them right now, between Meghan’s show being postponed, which I’ve heard was Netflix’s idea, and just the idea that she has worked so hard to rebrand herself and here comes a very respected publication reiterating some of the nastiest claims about her.”

She added, “So I think they are bruised and they’re sitting back trying to figure out how to process going forward.”

Recently, at an event evaluating the couple’s reaction to the LA wildfires, Ms Schofield hinted that their actions may have had an unintended consequence, failing to win over the public’s sympathy as they might have intended, according to the Mirror US. Meghan’s forthcoming series, With Love, Meghan, has been rescheduled to premiere on March 4, after initially being set to air last week, reports the Express.

Before the original launch date, Meghan released a statement explaining the delay of the eight-part series, saying: “I’m thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch, as we focus on the needs of those impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California.”

Netflix has already unveiled some of the show’s guests, including Roy Choi, Mindy Kaling, and Alice Waters, with the streaming service teasing “additional acclaimed chefs and special friends.”

As the show’s producer, Meghan aims to blend “practical how-to’s and candid conversation with friends, new and old,” according to Netflix. The streaming service added: “Meghan shares personal tips and tricks, embracing playfulness over perfection, and highlights how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected. She and her guests roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, the garden, and beyond, and invite you to do the same.”
