Meghan and Harry show 'true colours' in split from Prince William amid 'bad blood'

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have pursued solo projects and made public appearances at events that are close to their own hearts over recent months

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been focusing on individual projects and public appearances that resonate with their personal interests in recent months. In September, Prince Harry attended the WellChild Awards in London, a charity he has patronised for 16 years, and commemorated the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games at St Paul's Cathedral during a brief UK visit in May, reports OK!

Meanwhile, Meghan celebrated International Day of the Girl at Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara earlier this month, where she also supported its digital-wellness programme, Social Media U. "This new educational initiative will equip girls with the essential tools to thrive in the digital age while fostering healthier, more balanced relationships with technology," read a statement from The Archewell Foundation.

Despite attending these events individually, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have managed to create "twice the impact" in terms of promoting significant causes, according to a royal expert.

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond shared her insights on the couple's recent public appearances in an exclusive interview, saying: "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."

The expert shared her wisdom, stating Meghan is on a more commercial quest while Harry focuses on his charitable passions. "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," she explained.

"It seems quite sensible to me for them each to capitalise on their individual strengths - Harry concentrating mostly on charity work and social issues, while Meghan goes down a more commercial route. It must certainly give them more to talk about over dinner!"

"I think they still can make a real impact when they work together," Jennie added. "For example, when they recently met the parents of children who have taken their own lives because of getting involved in the dark web. They both contributed to the discussion and to the interview. And they definitely make more of a splash when they visit countries like Nigeria or Colombia together."

Jennie's remarks follow her conversation with OK! where she discussed the strained relationship between Prince Harry and Prince William as they embark on separate life paths.

She previously told the publication: "I still believe that the relationship between the brothers is almost irretrievable. William has so much on his plate at the moment that I don't think he has room in his heart or head to deal with all that has gone on with Harry.

"While the brothers may never be close again, or even live on the same continent, it doesn't mean that the future has to be full of bitterness and bad blood. Catherine is right. Family should always be paramount."
