Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, continues to carve out a life on his own terms in the United States, and the year 2025 has proven to be one of his most active and transformative yet. Moving beyond the drama of his royal exit, Harry has doubled down on his roles as a military veteran, mental health advocate, and content producer, making a series of surprising public statements and announcing major new projects that solidify his post-royal identity.
As of late December 2025, the Duke is navigating a complex landscape of new Hollywood deals, high-stakes global activism, and an ever-present spotlight on his personal life in Montecito. His recent actions, from signing an open letter on an urgent global issue to taking a high-profile solo trip, reveal a man fully committed to his new chapter while still grappling with the legacy of his past.

The Montecito Life: New Media Deals and High-Stakes Activism in 2025
The year 2025 has been defined by the Sussexes’ continued pivot from royal life to media moguls, coupled with a surprising foray into a new realm of global advocacy. The couple’s ongoing creative first-look deal with Netflix has yielded a number of new projects, but one, in particular, has captured the most attention.
The Surprising Netflix Rom-Com Project
Following the success of their docuseries, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their next venture: executive producing a romantic comedy. The project is an adaptation of the popular novel *The Wedding Date* by Jasmine Guillory. This move represents a significant shift from their previous, more serious documentary work, signaling a willingness to embrace a broader range of content genres.
Industry analysts suggest this lighthearted project aims to showcase their versatility as producers and appeal to a wider, more mainstream audience on the streaming platform. The adaptation is being developed with the highly-regarded Girls Trip writer Tracy Oliver, adding significant weight to the production.
Urgent Call for a Superintelligent AI Ban
In a powerful and unexpected move in late 2025, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle joined over 800 public figures, including politicians and celebrities, to sign an open letter calling for a ban or strong protections against the development of superintelligent AI. This action clarified a previous report of an "urgent statement" on a pressing issue.
The letter, which was released in October 2025, highlights the potential catastrophic risks associated with the unconstrained development of artificial general intelligence (AGI). By lending their names to this cause, the Duke and Duchess positioned themselves at the forefront of a critical global debate, using their platform to champion a cause far removed from traditional royal duties. This demonstrates their commitment to high-impact, forward-thinking social issues under the banner of the Archewell Foundation.
The Duke's Enduring Legacy: Invictus and Archewell Initiatives
While the new media deals grab headlines, Prince Harry’s foundational work remains centered on two key areas: supporting veterans and addressing online harm through his philanthropic organization. These initiatives are crucial to his identity as a humanitarian and mental health advocate.
The Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025
Prince Harry, as the founder and Patron of the Invictus Games Foundation, played a central role in the 2025 Games held in Vancouver Whistler. The Games, which bring together wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and women, are widely considered his most significant and personal achievement.
During the event, the Duke gave a powerful speech, quoting Toni Morrison and acknowledging the "moment of difficulty and division in many parts of the world." His presence, often alongside his wife, Meghan Markle, reinforced the event's mission of recovery and rehabilitation, with the games being a fitting return to the world stage for the couple.
Archewell’s Focus on Online Harm and Youth
The Archewell Foundation, co-founded by the Duke and Duchess, has focused heavily on the impact of the digital world on children's mental health. In 2025, they unveiled the Lost Screen Memorial in New York City.
This deeply moving art installation was created to honor the lives of children tragically lost due to online harm, serving as a powerful call to action for greater digital protections. Furthermore, the foundation continued its commitment to local community support through the "Filling Backpacks, Fueling Dreams" initiative in collaboration with Big Sunday in 2025. These efforts highlight the Duke’s long-standing advocacy for mental wellness and a safer digital environment for the next generation, including his own children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Personal Life and Ongoing Security Battles
Despite his professional success, the Duke of Sussex continues to face intense media scrutiny, particularly concerning his relationship with the British Royal Family and his personal security.
The Solo Aspen Trip and Family Dynamics
In a move that sparked significant media discussion, Prince Harry was spotted on a skiing holiday in Aspen, Colorado, in December 2025, without his wife, Meghan Markle. While the couple often maintains a low public profile, this solo outing was one of his first public sightings in recent weeks. It served as a reminder that, despite their united front, the Duke maintains his own interests and personal time away from their Montecito residence.
The Royal Rift and Security Concerns
The narrative of an ongoing "war" or rivalry with his brother, Prince William, continues to be a dominant theme in royal commentary. Reports suggest a pattern where Harry's public appearances often follow or coincide with his brother's official engagements, fueling speculation of a competitive dynamic, which Harry has reportedly denied.
Crucially, the Duke's armed security fight remains a significant, long-running issue. His legal battles to secure appropriate protection for his family while in the UK are a constant reminder of the complex and often fraught relationship he maintains with the institution he left behind. His insistence on robust security underscores the unique challenges of his "New World Royal Lifestyle" in California.
