Sources revealed that Prince Harry should concentrate on his charity work.

Sources told Page Six on January 26 how Harry is "sidelined" as the "spare" in his relationship with Meghan. He reportedly doesn't have a "steady income" and often stays home with their kids, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.

“Harry’s not really doing anything in America,” the insider divulged. “It seems he is still very wrapped up in the past. There have been rumors that Harry is starting a business, but he and Meghan don’t have the best track record."

“He’s really great at service — look at the success of his Invictus charity. He really should just stick with that," they claimed. “I think Harry’s banking on speaking engagements for income right now."
