Don't let yourselves be defined by the Royal Family.
There is money to be made now by exposés of Meghan's treatment by the clearly racist circle surrounding, and possibly including, the royal family. However, the public, even those in the UK who are on Harry and Meghan's side because the Daily Mail and the Murdoch press are not, will tire of the subject and move on.
They need to establish themselves in the public mind in their own right. They have their charity work to build on. Meghan, smarter than the average actress, and Harry have already established their credentials as champions of racial justice and improvements in mental health care. When Harry was still a royal prince, this official web page (read it now before it is purged!) detailed his work in sport for young people and for servicemen. For instance:
The Invictus Games
Prince Harry is committed to ensuring that wounded servicemen and women have the opportunity to rediscover their self-belief and fighting spirit through physical challenges. He is the force behind The Invictus Games, an international sporting event for wounded, injured and sick Service personnel, which took place in London from 10-14 September 2014.
To be sure, charitable activity in itself does not pay the rent, but there are surely well-funded international bodies who would support their aims. Or maybe the future lies in extending their TV and film interests beyond the confines of the royal circle and possibly into gaming. After all, they have both shown themselves to be inventive.
