It may seem that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are failing in the US, but that is not the case, according to royal commentator, who points out the couple has a secret weapon.

That is the WME Agency, the media organisation that has represented some of the biggest celebrities in the world.

Richard Fitzwilliams, who writes for Express Online, says the couple are "biding their time to fight back" after the end of their Spotify deal and reports their commercial arrangement with Netflix is at risk.

They also failed in their most recent bid to trademark the brand 'Archetypes.'

"What we are all waiting for is the Sussexes' fight back," Fitzwilliams told The Sun.

He said while may seem like the Sussexes' empire is "about to crumble" he believes they are simply "biding their time to bite back."

However this has been quashed by an insider, who told the Telegraph in the UK they were "nonplussed" as to how this rumour began.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex resigned as senior working royals in January 2020, relocating to the US where they set up their own organisation, Archewell.

'Archetypes' is the name of Meghan's defunct Spotify podcast.
