In his recently published memoir titled "Didn't You Use To Be Chris Mullin?," Mullin puts forth his prediction of a potential divorce for the couple. This viewpoint has elicited both agreement and disagreement among commentators.
Mullin suggests in his memoir that Markle's purported "woke Californian hang-ups" could potentially lead to the breakdown of their marriage, resulting in Prince Harry "limping home" to the UK.
Mullin further claims that Markle holds a dominant position in their relationship, while Prince Harry plays a secondary role. However, these assertions made by Mullin have not been independently verified by the International Business Times.
Mullin's statements have triggered a range of reactions from royal experts during the recent episode of GB News' "Dan Wootton Tonight." Petronella Wyatt, a British columnist and confidante of Queen Camilla, agrees with Mullin's assessment of the couple's dynamics.
Wyatt describes Prince Harry as an "archetypal old-fashioned Englishman" and argues that he is ill-suited for the Californian lifestyle. She speculates that if the marriage were to fail, Prince Harry would face challenges without career options, family, or friends in the US.
In contrast to these predictions, Ingrid Seward, the editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine and a royal author, voices her dissent. She believes that even if their marriage were to end, Prince Harry would neither leave Markle nor return to the UK.
Seward notes that California is the Duke's main source of income and the home of his children, making it highly unlikely for him to leave.
Echoing Seward's perspective, commentator Ernest Owens dismisses the speculations of a divorce as baseless, asserting that there is no evidence to suggest trouble in the Sussexes' marriage.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who got married in 2018 and are parents to Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, stepped down from their royal duties in 2020 and moved to California. Since then, they have established their organization called Archewell and secured lucrative deals with Spotify and Netflix.
The couple's recent public appearance at a sushi restaurant in Santa Barbara, where they were seen smiling and dining with celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz, contradicts the claims of marital distress.
