Those close to Harry and Meghan say the couple are taking small, realistic steps rather than expecting a quick fix. They continue public work and income projects independently, arguing this supports causes and funds their family life in Montecito with Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4.
Speaking abroad, Harry has publicly rejected the label of a “non-working royal,” insisting he still sees himself part of the royal family and uses his platform for causes he believes in.
