Prince Harry and Meghan are focusing on individual and separate passions
GettySince stepping back from royal life in 2020, Harry, 40, has maintained his commitment to various patronages, many of which continued virtually during the pandemic.
Now, the father-of-two is back to in-person engagements, reaffirming his role as patron to around 10 charitable organisations, including Sentebale, the Invictus Games and WellChild, making solo appearances across the US, UK, and Africa.
The friend added: "An entrepreneurial and enterprise focus is going to be more the duchess’s priority and the duke will continue to champion his not-for-profit patronages.
"But there will be joint efforts around those cause-driven areas of work."
