Prince Harry appears to be keeping himself occupied with a structured routine in California, where he and Meghan Markle currently reside.
His daily activities focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, often seen enjoying nature walks or cycling around the scenic Montecito area. This lifestyle choice reflects his ongoing efforts to adapt to life away from royal duties and the UK. The Duke of Sussex has embraced a simpler, health-conscious way of living. According to sources, Harry spends much of his time in the picturesque surroundings of his Montecito mansion.
A report from The Telegraph describes how he is frequently spotted walking his Labrador along the beach or cycling around the neighborhood. His security team, usually following closely in a Range Rover, ensures his safety during these outings. These activities highlight his desire to stay grounded and maintain a routine despite his high-profile life.
The public appearance of normalcy comes amid a significant professional shift between Harry and Meghan. Reports suggest the couple has chosen to pursue separate professional endeavors following a string of unsuccessful joint ventures. This decision may signal a rebranding effort for both individuals after their combined brand faced increasing challenges.
Ed Coram James, a PR expert, weighed in on the couple’s current trajectory in an interview with The Mirror. "Since their marriage, Harry and Meghan have had a distinct, unified brand—whether labeled as ‘the Sussexes’ or simply ‘Harry and Meghan.’ For years, their image was tied to their partnership. However, their infamous Oprah Winfrey interview marked a turning point, with the couple’s disputes with the Royal Family escalating to a public feud. This has steadily made their brand more toxic and commercially less viable.”
Coram James elaborated on the factors contributing to the couple’s diminishing appeal. He pointed to the ongoing tensions with both the Royal Family and Meghan’s estranged relatives, describing the couple as “confrontational and combative.” Additionally, a series of failed commercial projects—combined with their extensive media appearances—has led to criticism that the couple is ungrateful and unaware of the privileges they enjoy. “Many major brands are now hesitant to associate with them, making it challenging for them to secure lucrative partnerships,” he explained.
While the couple’s public image faces scrutiny, Harry’s visible focus on a balanced and active lifestyle may serve as an attempt to reshape his narrative. By prioritizing personal wellness and embracing California’s laid-back culture, Harry appears intent on carving out a new chapter for himself, both personally and professionally. Whether these efforts can repair the damage to their collective brand remains to be seen, but the shift suggests they are taking steps to navigate their evolving roles in the public eye.
