Tom Quinn, an expert on royal affairs, has offered new insights into why Prince Harry hasn’t had a more significant impact on Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand. Speaking in an interview with The Mirror, Quinn provided a detailed analysis of Harry’s role and challenges within the business sphere.
According to Quinn, Prince Harry’s involvement in Meghan’s entrepreneurial efforts has been limited by his background and training. “Harry has never had any real idea about becoming an entrepreneur or a businessman in his own right,” Quinn stated. He explained that Harry’s upbringing and education were focused solely on his royal duties, which makes the transition to business more challenging for him.
Quinn highlighted that Harry’s commitment to supporting Meghan’s ventures has been unwavering. “His 100% percent support for his wife and her business ventures has never wavered — but it hasn’t been enough to make a success of her company.” This support, while strong, has not translated into the business success that Meghan’s brand has aimed for.
The expert also addressed the broader implications of self-belief in entrepreneurship. “Meghan is proof that self-belief won’t always guarantee success. It won’t always make you a great entrepreneur and businesswoman.” Quinn’s comments suggest that while Meghan’s confidence and determination are admirable, they do not automatically lead to business success.
This perspective sheds light on the complexities faced by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as they navigate their post-royal careers. While Harry’s support and Meghan’s ambition are notable, the challenges of establishing a successful business are multifaceted and require more than just personal dedication.
As the Duke and Duchess continue to develop their brand, these insights may help contextualize their struggles and the reasons behind their current business trajectory.
