Prince Harry has reportedly urged Meghan Markle to “slow down” as she continues to take on new ventures. According to an insider, the Duchess of Sussex is striving to build a multifaceted brand. However, Harry fears she is burning out and losing focus on what truly makes her happy. The source claimed that the prince is worried about her “crazy schedules” that may eventually lead to burnout and “losing sight of what actually makes her happy.”

Prince Harry is reportedly concerned that Meghan Markle’s increasingly demanding schedule is leaving her exhausted and distant from family life. According to Star, the Duke of Sussex has urged his wife to slow down as she continues to expand her growing list of business ventures.
Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Markle has maintained a packed calendar. After relocating to the United States, she and Harry launched a podcast, a nonprofit foundation, and signed a major deal with Netflix. The former actor later introduced her lifestyle brand, initially called “American Riviera Orchard” and later rebranded as “As Ever.”
An insider told the outlet that the 44-year-old duchess is aiming to become a powerhouse in the lifestyle and fashion industries — the next Martha Stewart but with a combination of Kim Kardashian and a bit of Anna Wintour. The source added that Markle spends long hours in meetings and is “working every angle she can to expand her empire.” Reportedly, she is also considering “to launch a make-up line to try and capitalize on that trend.”
However, Harry is said to believe “it’s way too much.” The source explained that he worries his wife is “burning out and losing sight of what actually makes her happy.” While Markle reportedly insists her work is “for their future and for the kids,” the prince feels her hectic schedule leaves little room for work-life balance.
According to the insider, Markle “won’t hear it.” As such, she is convinced that she is finally being taken seriously in the business world and determined to keep the momentum going, even as Harry longs for a grounded lifestyle together.
