It’s been a little over 12 months since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex officially stepped down from their roles as senior royals amongst the British Royal Family.
The couple relocated to Montecito, California to start a new life with their son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor and soon-to-be daughter and are forging their own roles.
With multi-million dollar deals with Netflix and Spotify in the bag, it’s clear Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are on the road to success.
While most of their ventures outside of the royal family have been joint thus far, a new role for Harry has just been announced and he’s flying solo without his wife.
Per the , the 35-year-old is set to become chief impact officer at US-based coaching and mental health firm, BetterUp Inc.
“I intend to help create impact in people’s lives,” he said in an interview with the outlet. “Proactive coaching provides endless possibilities for personal development, increased awareness, and an all-round better life.”
