The Truth About Meghan, Harry, and Their California Dream

On a new episode of DYNASTY, Vanity Fair’s hosts take a close look at how the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are coping with some tumultuous years, figuring themselves out, and laying the groundwork for a big future.

It’s been four years since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry walked away from their royal roles, sparking an endless stream of media attention and second-guessing in the UK. This year, the biggest royal headlines—from historic health challenges for Kate Middleton and King Charles III to royal banquets and honor ceremonies—have been coming from Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace. Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are carving out their own semi-royal, and very philanthropic path, thousands of miles from their former home.

Despite the usual tabloid rumblings, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are having a pretty solid year, expanding both their charitable commitments and Netflix offerings. After four years of high and lows in America, it’s time for the question on everyone’s lips: Will they ever return to the fold?
