From public speaking to writing, here'southward what Markle has been up to since laying down her new roots.
'Non-turn a profit empire'
"The era of Archewell is upon us," announced Harper'southward Bazaar in March. Plans for the "non-profit empire" were beginning shared in April 2020, and were "far more extensive" than those originally fatigued up for Prince Harry and his wife under their philanthropic make Sussex Royal, said The Telegraph. Ambitiously, Archewell aims to "unleash the power of pity to drive systemic cultural change", according to its website.
The charitable prong of the endeavor is the Archewell Foundation, while "artistic activations" are taken care of nether Archewell Audio and Productions. For months in that location's been "silence" from the audio department, said Marie Claire, but there are signs it is "revving up for its g debut" in the coming months, with a spokesperson telling the mag that content will launch "afterward in 2021".

The couple accept announced that Archewell will attain net zero carbon emissions by the cease of the decade.
Streaming stars
The Sussexes "unveiled new Hollywood careers" in September 2022 with a "megawatt Netflix bargain", said The New York Times. The "multiyear" agreement gives the couple a "global platform" through the mediums of "documentaries, docu-series, feature films, scripted shows and children'south programming". Harry took on the role of executive producer on Heart of Invictus, a behind-the-scenes docu-serial of the 2022 Invictus Games, while Markle has been working on an animated series titled Pearl.
The deal was reportedly worth between $100m (£75m) and $150m (£133m), and could see the couple "appear on camera", though Markle herself has "no plans to return to acting", the paper continued.
But some are at present calling on Harry to "tear up" the deal and "brand a stand" against the portrayal of his mother in the streaming platform's hit series The Crown, said the Daily Mail. Jemima Khan, a friend of the late Princess Diana, stepped back from her function on the plan which, she said, hadn't handled the story "every bit respectfully or compassionately as she had hoped".
Literary undertakings
In June, Markle published her commencement children'south book, The Bench. "Inspired by Meghan'southward ain family experience," said Harper's Bazaar, Markle explained that the story began as a poem written for her hubby for Father's Day.
The book, which has earned a middling 3.five stars on Good Reads, consists of "a serial of vignettes" featuring a father and son whose human relationship "is sketched out in a series of banalities and badly synthetic rhymes", said The Critic. The story "conspicuously comes from the center" and is "probable to pull at the heart strings of parents, grandparents and carers", said The Independent. But information technology is "unlikely to win any literary awards".
Christian Robinson'southward "pleasant and accomplished" illustrations testify a "stiff and obvious resemblance to Prince Harry" in the father character, said The Critic, and The Independent described the volume as "full of personal references to the Sussexes". Even then, Markle said she hoped to depict the father-son bond "through an inclusive lens" that would resonate "with every family, no affair the makeup".
"It's heed-extraordinary how bad this book is," said The New Statesman. But "no doubt The Bench will be a bestseller," The Critic continued. "It is bad, of course" only "it is likewise inconsequential and ephemeral to merit the vitriol of a proper disembowelling", and should instead exist "regarded equally a marvel".
Birthday plans
As role of her 40th altogether celebrations in August, Markle "offered a gift to the world", said Glamour magazine. Via a video starring Markle and Melissa McCarthy, the duchess appear she would be asking 40 friends to donate 40 minutes of their time to mentoring women re-entering the workforce.
Concerned that "tens of millions" of women had left piece of work during the pandemic, Markle wrote on the Archewell website that she believes "mentorship is one mode to help women regain conviction and rebuild their economic strength".
Though Glamour described the entrada as a "powerful initiative", "information technology was attacked from the start", said the Mirror. Some critics said "that piddling could be accomplished during a 40 minute session", and that 40x40 "is more about [Markle] trying to look good".
Tell-all interview
"I remember we will be talking almost the interview for xx years," journalist Tina Brown told CBS News in March this year. Her comments followed the Sussexes' "bombshell" two-hr long interview with Oprah Winfrey, which included claims that comments had been fabricated past an unnamed member of the royal family well-nigh the color of their son's peel, besides as details of Markle'due south treatment by the British printing and lack of support from the Windsors which contributed to her having suicidal thoughts, said Sky News.
The couple drew both "praise and vitriol", said The Guardian, and "differences of opinion were not merely transatlantic". Piers Morgan described the interview as "an orgy of pious, self-indulgent, score-settling twaddle", and former Daily Telegraph editor Charles Moore told the BBC's Today programme the couple were "cocky-captivated and irrelevant", while Keir Starmer said the allegations fabricated ought to be taken "very, very seriously".
Voices of support came particularly from women of colour, who saw "the conclusion to raise allegations of racism and mistreatment as necessary and even heroic", the newspaper continued.
"Whatever you think of the couple'south revelations, in purely journalistic terms, Oprah delivered a masterpiece," film and TV critic Caryn James said on the BBC. And "one erstwhile member of the Royal Family unit came out of the interview looking extraordinarily well", said the New Yorker, referring to Princess Diana. Harry explained to Winfrey that the inheritance from his mother had helped his family after they were cut off financially from the Windsors. "Americans always liked her best," said the magazine.
