Leaving royal duties didn’t mean leaving public attention behind.
In many ways, the opposite happened.
Harry and Meghan continued making headlines through interviews, documentaries, books, legal battles and business ventures.
They signed major entertainment agreements, including a high-profile partnership with Netflix, while also developing their charitable work through Archewell.
Harry became increasingly outspoken about his concerns regarding the British press and the security of his family.
He also discussed painful memories from his childhood and the death of his mother, Princess Diana.
Meanwhile, Meghan continued developing her own public and commercial identity.
The couple’s decision to speak openly about their experiences created intense debate.
Supporters argued that they were finally telling their own story.
Critics argued that they had chosen to profit from their royal connections while criticizing the institution.
Whatever someone’s opinion may be, one thing is difficult to deny:
Harry and Meghan have remained extraordinarily newsworthy.
