As Marie Claire recently reported, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle consider themselves "really unlucky" professionally and blame outside forces such as the pandemic and the deaths of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth for their project stalling . That bad luck seems to have culminated in the collapse last month of the couple's $20 million contract with Spotify, which was signed in 2020. (Over the past three years, the couple's only content for Spotify has been Princess Meghan's 12-episode podcast, "Archetypes," which debuted last year.)

The Sussexes are now in a bit of a rebranding, image-rebuilding phase, contemplating their next steps and looking professionally at their likely separate careers; according to the Mirror, Meghan is determined to come back "full force" to fight her way to the top She is reportedly firming up, and her husband will zoom into humanitarian work for the most part while the Duchess turns her attention to more entertainment-focused projects.

"Princess Meghan's view is that she has an obligation to fight back and make things happen, no matter how expensive or in some cases difficult," said one source.

"Princess Meghan has told her team that there is no way her new plan will fail."

Princess Meghan recently signed with the powerful talent agency William Morris Endeavor (WME). She is represented by veteran Ari Emanuel, widely considered one of the best in the business.

Meghan is now determined to "prove the haters wrong" and come back swinging, the source continued: "She feels backed into a corner. Her next move will be explosive, to say the least."

According to the Daily Express, "The biggest fear from Meghan and Harry's perspective is that this latest controversy and criticism could be the straw that breaks the camel's back regarding what the public thinks of them and how much money they can make That's what I mean," a Netflix official said." As for co-starring, things may have to change, and certainly, bashing the royal family together seems to be off the agenda right now for the time being," a Netflix official said.

Meghan has been plagued by accusations that she hasn't done enough, one source said. 'Meghan is distraught over this Spotify snub and the accusations that follow. Meghan is distraught over this Spotify snub and the ensuing furor. Being labeled a "grifter" is an utterly humiliating, gut-wrenching, all-time low.

Her team feels that Megan needs to focus more on personal projects. She said, "Doing so will give her more room and help her regain her confidence.

Meghan's (and Harry's) fight-back spirit will be on full display in their next move: "People can call them money hungry and even con artists," a source told OK. 'Harry and Meghan think it's just jealous, mean-spirited people throwing stones at them. Meghan will eventually become the queen of Hollywood and make a lot of money along with Harry. Their attitude is, to hell with the critics."

For now, Meghan is still "reviewing things from top to bottom," a source told the Daily Express. 'Of course, there have been tense conversations as Meghan and Harry hunker down to get through this latest crisis. But the two are determined to get through this and get through more difficult times together."
