Royal Family: Meghan Markle issued three-word warning - 'she needs to stand out'

Meghan Markle "needs Harry" to stay relevant and make a success of her own business ventures. Since stepping back from her royal duties five years ago, the Duchess of Sussex has attempted to achieve commercial success through a range of avenues, including a lucrative deal with Netflix.

Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, suggested the mum-of-two's business instinct and her royal links are heavily connected.
