Meghan Markle has reportedly been under pressure after her deals with brands "fell apart", with the Duchess even encouraging Prince Harry to "get his game face on".
The California-based couple stepped down as senior working members of the British Royal Family in 2020, with the pair moving to the US shortly after. Keeping in line with their new Hollywood lifestyle, Meghan and Harry subsequently signed deals with Spotify, Netflix, and Penguin Random House.
However, despite the impressive deals that the couple secured, in 2023, the partnership with Spotify ended, which was reported to have been a mutual decision, reports the Mirror.
Now, as the couple faces a "make or break" year, Meghan is facing new pressures. A source recently told Heat magazine: "This year is make or break for them, and Meghan's told Harry to step up.
"So far it's been her doing the lion's share of the networking, and she's stressed - largely because so many deals have fallen apart."
They added: "She wants to take a step back and feels it's time for Harry to get his game face on."
It comes days after it was claimed that Meghan's yoga-teacher mother, Doria, 67, recently moved onto the grounds of the couple's mansion in Montecito.
According to reports, the loving grandmother of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet has moved into the Sussexes' guesthouse to help the pair through "tough times".
The source told the Express: "Doria has really been Meghan’s rock over the past year. Not only has she been there for her daughter but has enjoyed helping to look after the grandchildren."
The source later added: "2023 was a tough year for both Harry and Meghan and Doria has been there for them." They said Doria now spends more time staying in Harry and Meghan's guesthouse than she does in her own house."
