The tensions between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly flaring over work priorities in Hollywood. The royal couple is producing a Netflix adaptation of Jasmine Guillory’s romance novel “The Wedding Date.” However, insiders say Harry’s enthusiasm has faded as Meghan ramps up focus.
The Duchess views the film as a crucial reset after mixed reviews. Meanwhile, the Duke is leaning toward philanthropic projects and legacy efforts. Consequently, the “Suits” actress appears to be approaching the movie with greater urgency.
Prince Harry is reportedly not showing interest in Meghan Markle’s next project, claims source
As per a Star Magazine report dated December 31, 2025, the production is carrying urgent stakes for Markle. A source said, “There is so much riding on this movie being a success.”
The insider added, “Meghan is saying this is make-or-break time and she wants all hands on deck.” Her push follows a strong docuseries debut, followed by later projects that received mixed reactions. Therefore, she sees the rom-com as a chance to prove out their entertainment slate.
Yet Prince Harry appears unconvinced by the Hollywood grind, according to the same report.
The source claimed, “His lack of enthusiasm is driving Meghan crazy and it’s bringing up a lot of resentment.” They continued, “She’s sure that if he were to throw himself into the Hollywood game…they’d be way more successful.” However, the Duke’s interests differ. The insider said, “Harry wants his life’s work to feel meaningful.” They noted, “He’s fine to take a token role in Meghan’s projects, but he has no desire to live and breathe Hollywood anymore.”
Industry context matters here. “The Wedding Date” arrives as streamers chase upbeat, high-visibility romantic comedies. Moreover, Markle’s “Suits” pedigree and recent pop-culture momentum keep the project marketable. Nevertheless, alignment between partners will shape the rollout, press, and promotional tour. If Harry steps back, Markle may shoulder much of the campaign on her own. If he reengages, the Sussex brand could present a united front, which marketers typically prize. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle watchers will now track casting, schedule, and how the pair divides responsibilities.
