Laughing and smiling, the Sussexes project a laid-back and relaxed image that conjures the impression they are unphased by the PR pile on happening on and around them.
Meghan and Harry are said to be facing a “public pushback” from a host of once close Hollywood A-listers.
It comes after David Beckham was reportedly left “furious” by Meghan’s suggestion that his wife, Victoria, was the source of a leak.
Royal reporter Kara Kennedy said it is not just the Beckhams who are turning their backs on the Sussexes, as more big names focus their support on the future monarchy of Prince William and Kate.

Yet, perched on the garden bench of their Montecito mansion, the pair appeared happily in love.
Dressed smart casually in light brown chinos and a simple white shirt, Harry adopts a powerful stance of legs spread, holding the phone in one hand and the other on his hip.
Meanwhile, Meghan, who turns 42 on Friday, paired a sleeveless beige dress with gold earrings.

The couple’s decision to phone recipients of the grant ‘out of the blue’ comes amid rumours that the Sussexes are looking to pick up sticks once more.
Harry and Meghan have been reportedly “casually house hunting” in Malibu in a possible bid to seek more privacy on the coastline.
However, the Sussexes have been warned they will be taking “the biggest security risk of their lives” if they opt for a change of scenery from Montecito.
According to a top US security expert, Kent Moyer, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will become “sitting ducks” in the coastal area just outside LA.
