Prince Harry appears to be making a clear statement about the rumored “professional separation” between him and Meghan Markle, as he’s now traveled abroad alone.

The Duke of Sussex arrived in China on 26 May — notably the same day his father, King Charles III, landed in Canada for a state visit, despite their reportedly strained relationship.

His solo trip follows closely behind another significant development involving the couple, further fueling speculation that Harry and Meghan are now taking separate paths when it comes to their professional lives.

According to GB News, the Sussexes are said to be creating individual household setups, with each of them hiring their own chief of staff and dedicated team — a move seen as reinforcing their separate career directions.

The decision has come as a bit of a surprise, as it means their household will now function more like those of other senior royals, such as King Charles and Queen Camilla, or Prince William and Princess Kate.

As reported by the outlet, Prince Harry has chosen Miranda Barbot to lead his team. Barbot is known for her background as a political and media advisor, including her role in Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign.

She is reportedly assisting Harry in managing a new business venture, though details about this project remain limited.

On Meghan’s side, she’s reportedly brought on Sarah Fosmo — a former aide to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates — to manage her personal projects.

Fosmo is expected to support Meghan’s lifestyle brand, As Ever, and help oversee production for the second season of her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.

In addition, communications expert Meredith Kendall Maines has been brought in to coordinate the couple’s newly expanded team of 11 staff members. This team will be based in both Montecito, California — where the couple currently live — and the UK.
