The Sussexes also lost their 11th publicist, Meredith Maines, who resigned after just a year in the role.
“The big question was, would Archewell close, or would another charity take it over?” a second source told Page Six.
“Harry and Meghan were looking to get a fiscal sponsor, someone to take on the outgoing costs and to keep things cheap. Really, it’s all smoke and mirrors.”
Missing the structure of royal life
While Harry is said to be “content” living in California, sources suggest he remains emotionally conflicted and increasingly nostalgic for the structure of his former royal life.
“I don’t think they leave the house much,” one source said of the Sussexes.
“Meghan does, maybe, but not so much Harry.”
Royal author Christopher Andersen echoed that view, suggesting Harry finds the Hollywood environment more challenging than his wife does.
“He (Harry) has suffered from crippling social anxiety. Meghan embraces that life more,” Andersen told Us Weekly.
Royal historian Marlene Koenig also noted that Harry’s life in Britain once came with far clearer responsibilities.
“He had responsibilities and official events to attend,” Koenig said.
“He’s spending time with his young children and being a hands-on dad. Meghan is the breadwinner.”
