Privacy NoticePrince Harry’s recent string of solo appearances suggests that there is “something going on”, a PR strategist has claimed. The Duke of Sussex, 40, was present at the WellChild awards in London on Monday, marking his eighth public outing without his wife, Meghan Markle, in as many days. His solo activities also included a visit to New York, where he attended several events including a panel at the Clinton Global Initiative and an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. However, Mark Borkowski, a PR strategist who has been closely observing Harry and Meghan, told the Daily Telegraph that the “separation” of their work has been happening for some time and suggested Harry may be “going back to basics”. He claimed: “There has been a separation [of their work] for a while. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to think there’s something going on. She has been doing the jam thing, the Martha Stewart play. He seems to be going back to basics,” reports the Scottish Daily Express.

Mark, who claimed the “star power” they thought they’d have together “didn’t work” as they had hoped, added: “They had to change the narrative. “They need a venture that deflects from the failures. The charity aspect impresses upon everybody that he [Harry] does have value beyond the controversial stuff. “It has the effect of separating them from the bad press and the failed content ideas. The punters still have time for Harry.”

In September, an insider spilled to the Express that Prince Harry’s individual engagements are a strategic move to leverage his global popularity. The source revealed that it became “very quickly” apparent that the Duke has a “considerable fanbase”, perhaps even more than Meghan, and their royal connections are what’s “keeping them afloat”. They further added: “There’s been a conscious effort to focus on that love for Harry so in the long-term that adoration can seep through the both of them.” Recently, Prince Harry has been spotted in Lesotho and South Africa on his latest solo journey, where he was seen with Princess Senate Mohato Seeiso, the firstborn of King Letsie III of Lesotho, as reported by the Mirror.
