Meghan Markle’s business push said to be creating friction with Harry

Meghan Markle is reportedly facing renewed scrutiny over her marriage to Prince Harry, with fresh claims suggesting tensions are building over their different approach to money and public work.

According to an insider, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s recent Australia visit has become a talking point after Meghan was linked to promoting outfits tied to a platform where she may earn revenue.

The source alleged that her increasing focus on monetising public appearances has not sat well with Harry.

"Among those in Harry and Meghan's orbit, there's an increasing sense that Meghan's focus has evolved in a very noticeable way – commercial success is now playing a far more dominant role in how she approaches opportunities,” the insider said.

They added, "She's always been ambitious, but lately that drive is being channeled very directly into financial outcomes, and it has become an obsession.

“For her, success is something that can be measured in growth, deals, and revenue, and right now, money is very much at the forefront of her thinking.

“She sees the income generated from the trip as proof that her strategy is working, and she takes a great deal of pride in that."

This “shift” is “where her huge new friction with Harry is really starting to surface. He comes from a background where talking openly about money – or tying it too closely to public-facing work – is considered uncomfortable, even inappropriate.”

"The idea of blending charitable appearances with clear commercial gain doesn't sit easily with him. In his mind, there should be a clear boundary between doing good and making money, and he's finding it difficult to reconcile how blurred that line has become.

"It's created a sense of unease for him, and at times he's conflicted about whether this direction aligns with his own values, and it has left him physically shaking with discontent at times."
