Since stepping back from senior royal duties, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have significantly expanded their creative and charitable work through their Montecito-based organizations, the Archewell Foundation and Archewell Productions. Their most recent announcements confirm a major shift in their content strategy and a continued focus on philanthropic impact.
A Surprising New Direction: The Netflix Rom-Com
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have confirmed their next major project under their multi-year creative deal with Netflix will be a romantic comedy. This move is a departure from their previous documentary and docuseries formats, such as the critically acclaimed Harry & Meghan. The upcoming film is an adaptation of the bestselling novel The Wedding Date by author Jasmine Guillory. The couple will serve as producers, partnering with *Girls Trip* creator Tracy Oliver, signaling a serious commitment to developing commercial, scripted content.
This new venture is seen as a strategic step to broaden their appeal and fulfill their mission to create content that "informs, elevates, and inspires." The production is highly anticipated and represents a key pillar of their financial and professional independence in the United States.

The Archewell Foundation, whose mission is simply "show up, do good," concluded 2025 with significant recognition and a recap of their charitable efforts. In a year-end video and holiday card featuring a rare glimpse of their children, Archie and Lilibet, the couple highlighted the work of their non-profit. Key initiatives include The Welcome Project, which focuses on building community and social connection for recently resettled women.
Their dedication to humanitarian causes, particularly mental health advocacy, led to Prince Harry and Meghan being named Project Healthy Minds' Humanitarians of the Year. This award underscores their commitment to using their global platform to destigmatize conversations around psychological well-being and emotional resilience.
The Enduring Legacy of Service: Invictus Games and Military Ties
Despite his departure from his role as a working royal, Prince Harry’s identity remains deeply rooted in his military service and the foundation he created to support his fellow veterans. The Invictus Games continues to be his flagship project and a primary focus of his public life.
The Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025
The next iteration of the Invictus Games is scheduled to take place from February 8 to 16, 2025, in Vancouver and Whistler, Canada. This will be the first Winter hybrid Games, featuring new adaptive sports like Alpine Skiing, Snowboarding, Biathlon, Nordic Skiing, Skeleton, and Wheelchair Curling, alongside traditional indoor events.
Prince Harry, as the founder, plays an active role in the planning and promotion of the event, which will host over 500 athletes from 20 nations. The Games serve as a powerful rehabilitation tool, celebrating the resilience and recovery of wounded, injured, and sick service personnel and veterans. His appearance at the Winter Invictus Games is expected to be one of his first major public engagements of the new year, further cementing his personal commitment to the military community.
The Meaning of 'Harry Wales'
The continued use of 'Wales' in the public sphere, such as reports of him occasionally using the name 'Harry Wales' in professional contexts, is a nod to his past. The surname was adopted by him and his elder brother, Prince William, during their time in the military, as a way to use their father's territorial designation (Prince of Wales) as a last name. While his official title remains the Duke of Sussex, the moniker 'Harry of Wales' serves as a perpetual reminder of his decade of service as a Captain in the British Army and his deep, personal connection to the armed forces community, a legacy he honors through the Invictus Games.
The Path Ahead for the Duke of Sussex
The close of 2025 finds Prince Harry at a pivotal point, balancing his roles as a dedicated father and husband, a hands-on philanthropist with the Archewell Foundation, and a creative producer in Hollywood. His focus is clearly on generating positive impact through media and charity, advocating for causes like mental health, social connection, and veteran support.
With a new Netflix rom-com on the production slate and the Invictus Games in Vancouver Whistler on the horizon, the Duke of Sussex is defining his own path. He is leveraging his unique global profile to create a sustainable, independent career that aligns with his core values of service and compassion, ensuring that 'Harry of Wales' remains a name synonymous with advocacy and change.
