Prince Harry has ‘major difference’ with Meghan Markle as couple set on own career paths
As the couple celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary, there appears to be a growing career gap between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, claims expert.
According to critics, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be suffering from a so-called 'seven-year glitch' where by they are still very much happily married but are separating their professional lives. One royal expert explains that Meghan has ambitions to become a billionaire, whereas Harry lacks the same "ruthlessness".
Royal expert, Richard Fitzwilliams, told MailOnline: "Harry is increasingly finding himself as the spare in a relationship with Meghan which undoubtedly involves mutual affection, but where their priorities differ widely."
He added: "Meghan likes glitz and glamour and is absolutely ruthless as the interview on Oprah showed so clearly. Because she married Harry, her brand does have reach. She would like to be a billionaire influencer and an A-list celebrity but she has very few A-list friends."

Prince Harry's 'comfort zone', on the other hand, is with his charity work, such as the Invictus Games – an international sports competition for wounded, injured, and sick service personnel and veterans, both serving and retired.
Mr Fitzwilliams said: "Invictus means a lot to him, it was a joy to see him at the WellChild Awards last year. He genuinely enjoyed being with the children, it seemed as though the 'old Harry' was temporarily back."
However, the Duke of Sussex needs to be careful not to make "mistakes", including the "angry and resentful half-hour interview with the BBC after he lost his court case over security and his ill-judged memoir Spare".
In an exclusive interview in California with the BBC, Prince Harry spoke out shortly after he lost his court appeal about his security when in the UK, and he also mentioned that his father is not speaking to him over the security legal challenge.
In response to Harry's BBC interview, Buckingham Palace released a blunt statement about the claims. A spokesperson said: "All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion."

It has been a busy year for Meghan Markle as the Duchess embarks upon multiple projects. Meghan launched 'With Love, Meghan' her new Nextflix solo project, which has been renewed for a second season, which airs later this autumn.
Harry was almost entirely absent from the series aside from a very brief cameo in the last episode. A source from the show has since reported to the MailOnline that neither Harry nor their children will appear in the next season of the show.
Meghan also launched a new podcast with host Lemonada Media, titled 'Confessions of a Female Founder'. The series sees the royal chat with female business owners from an array of successful companies. The 43-year-old's podcast launched back on April 8, with a brand-new episode released every Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Meghan has also returned to Instagram, and has racked up three million followers since New Year’s Day.
