The recent developments surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have raised eyebrows as James Corden has reportedly distanced himself from the couple after they expressed interest in his $12 million empire.
According to Richard Mineodes, a former Royal Correspondent now residing near the Duke and Duchess in Montecito, California, he believes that the royal pair are heavily focused on financial gains, much like their close associate, James Corden.
Mineodes highlighted their involvement with lucrative deals such as Spotify and Netflix, along with setting up companies in tax-friendly Delaware.
Expressing his views to the Evening Standard, Mineodes emphasized the couple's aspirations to amass wealth similar to James Corden, who rakes in a substantial sum of $12 million per season hosting the Late Late Show.
He also mentioned their desire to leverage their platform for impactful initiatives through the Archule Foundation, their non-profit organization.
However, the Queen is said to be perturbed by Prince Harry's recent interview with Corden, causing a stir within Buckingham Palace.
Royal biographer Robert Jobson remarked on the timing of Harry's interview, stating that it coincided with a crucial message from the Queen regarding national vaccination efforts, which was overshadowed by the discussion of Harry's personal life.
The Queen's discomfort was compounded by Prince Philip's prolonged hospitalization due to an infection, marking his 11th day under medical care.
Criticism also emerged from journalist commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, who labeled Harry's appearance on the show as “nauseating” and questioned his motives.
Angela Levin, who spent an extensive period alongside Prince Harry for a documentary, suggested a shift in the couple's focus towards the entertainment industry, deviating from their previous philanthropic endeavors.
Levin implied that Meghan's desire for stardom might be steering them towards showbiz, indicating a departure from their altruistic work.
Reports surfaced about Harry potentially assuming James Corden's role on The Late Late Show temporarily to promote his upcoming memoir, rumored to contain critiques of the royal family.
Amid speculations about Harry's comedic aspirations and Meghan's interest in hosting her own program akin to Ellen DeGeneres, the dynamics of their professional pursuits seem to be evolving.
While James Corden continues to captivate audiences with his hosting tenure on The Late Late Show, Harry and Meghan have ventured into podcast production with Spotify and secured a significant contract with Netflix.
Observers note the couple's contentment in their California abode, with Harry enjoying cycling outings and Meghan relishing moments at home, as shared during a conversation with Ellen DeGeneres.
Their son, Archie, basks in the Californian sun, mirroring his father's penchant for barefoot play outdoors.
