Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Aim for ‘Twice the Impact’ with New Independent Paths
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seem to be steering their future with renewed focus, working hard to “make twice the impact” through individual initiatives. Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond discussed the couple’s evolving approach in a recent interview with GB News, highlighting how they are leveraging their unique strengths by pursuing separate, yet complementary, paths.
In her interview, Bond noted that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex appear to be effectively covering more ground by focusing on distinct areas of interest. She remarked, “I think Harry and Meghan are showing that they can pursue separate interests effectively and, you could argue, have twice the impact as they can cover much more ground.” This approach, she suggested, allows them to make strides in multiple areas without overlapping efforts.
Bond elaborated on the value of their individual pursuits, adding, “It seems quite sensible to me for them each to capitalize on their individual strengths—Harry concentrating mostly on charity work and social issues, while Meghan goes down a more commercial route.” She joked that this likely adds an interesting dynamic to their relationship, quipping, “It must certainly give them more to talk about over dinner!”
Despite their focus on individual endeavors, Bond pointed out that the couple still achieves significant impact when working together, especially on social issues that align with their shared values. She cited their recent meeting with parents whose children had tragically lost their lives due to interactions on the dark web. Bond explained, “They both contributed to the discussion and to the interview,” emphasizing that their united efforts bring powerful awareness to complex issues.
Bond also noted the heightened attention the couple receives when they travel together, especially to countries with strong cultural ties to their causes, such as Nigeria and Colombia. “They definitely make more of a splash when they visit countries like Nigeria or Colombia together,” she said, underlining how their joint presence amplifies their message and influence on an international level.
As Harry and Meghan forge separate yet aligned paths, their combined influence remains strong. While Harry focuses on charity and social impact, such as his work with the Invictus Games and mental health awareness, Meghan is carving her niche in the commercial sphere. Together, they are redefining what it means to be influential outside the traditional roles of British royalty, proving that by pursuing their individual passions, they can indeed “make twice the impact.”
