The Daily Express has published claims that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have encountered difficulties establishing commercial partnerships in the United States, with allegations of strained relationships affecting potential business opportunities.
According to the report, the couple has allegedly experienced tensions with several prominent figures in American media and fashion circles since relocating to California. The publication cites unnamed sources suggesting that disagreements with key industry personalities may have limited access to certain commercial ventures and collaborative projects that were previously under consideration.
The article references various incidents purportedly dating from 2019 onwards, though specific details of these alleged disputes remain unverified. Claims in the report suggest that some planned business relationships with major media platforms and fashion enterprises have not materialised as initially anticipated by industry observers.
An unnamed source quoted in the piece characterised the couple’s recent commercial activities as underperforming relative to expectations, though no specific financial data was provided to substantiate these assertions. The Express report does not include independent verification of the claims made regarding the alleged business difficulties or interpersonal conflicts described.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not publicly responded to these specific allegations about their commercial activities in the United States. Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, the couple has pursued various media and business ventures, including podcast production and content creation agreements with streaming platforms.
These unsubstantiated claims emerge as the royal family continues to navigate relationships with former working members while managing ongoing public interest in their post-royal activities.
