PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle are “biding their time to fight back” after they were hit by a huge string of blows leaving their empire “crumbling”, an expert has claimed

Last week Meghan’s Archetypes podcast was dumped by Spotify after running for only one series – and now the U.S. Patent Office has denied their request to trademark its name.

Meanwhile, sources believe Netflix  is unlikely to renew the Sussexes’ mega-bucks contract — believing “the lemon has been fully squeezed”.

But Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams believes that the Sussexes are just “biding their time” for a comeback.

He told The Sun: “What we are all waiting for is the Sussex’s fight back .

“Of course, they’ve lost Spotify. There are rumours that they will lose Netflix. And now they have lost their fight for a trademark.

“It seems as if their empire is about to crumble – but I believe they are biding their time to bite back.”

It comes after Meghan signed with a new top Hollywood talent agency back in April.

The Duchess joined WME, which boasts A-Listers Eddie Murphy, Gwen Stefani and Liam Payne on their books.

MrFitzwilliams explained: “WME are top-class and know what they are doing.

“What’s important is that they launch a fight back – but we don’t yet know what that is going to look like.

“At the moment if feels as though their empire is crumbling but its not crumbled yet.

“The question is why are they so quiet at the moment? What is going on?

“It really does seem they are brewing something up with their new team.

“I would not be surprised if we had an announcement from them very soon.”

Meghan previously spoke of wanting to make rom-coms with Prince Harry because “so much of how my husband and I see things is through our love story”.

And rumors are circulating that Meghan is undergoing a major “rebrand” in Hollywood which could see the Duchess sign a mega deal with Dior.

If Meghan signs with Dior, she’ll join a workforce of big stars like Rihanna and Jennifer Lawrence, and make the financial blow of her podcast loss a bit easier to bear.

Meghan has long been a fan of Dior, and wore head-to-toe Dior for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee service. 

She also sported a cream Dior gown during a trip to Morocco in 2019, while pregnant with Archie.

In 2021, she carried a monogrammed version of the iconic Lady Dior bag to a Global Citizen concert in New York. The bag was named in tribute to Harry’s mother, Princess Diana.
