Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have successfully turned their royal departure into a thriving business and philanthropic empire.

Since stepping back from royal duties in January 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have built Archewell, a nonprofit and production company dedicated to storytelling and social impact.

Operating from their Montecito estate, the Sussexes have launched several high-profile projects. Their Netflix productions include Polo, a docuseries exploring the world of professional polo, and With Love, Meghan, a lifestyle series blending practical advice with personal insights. Meghan also debuted American Riviera Orchard, a home goods and lifestyle brand, showcasing their entrepreneurial aspirations.

Beyond business, Harry and Meghan remain deeply committed to philanthropy. The couple continues to champion mental health through Harry’s Invictus Games Foundation and Meghan’s initiatives like 40x40, which mentors women re-entering the workforce post-pandemic.

Despite obstacles, including delays in releasing projects due to California wildfires, the couple has remained focused on community support. They have provided aid to wildfire victims and offered shelter to displaced friends, emphasizing their dedication to impactful action.

As they celebrate five years of independence from the royal institution, Harry and Meghan have redefined success by blending business ventures with meaningful contributions to society, solidifying their unique post-royal legacy.
