Reports suggested that the couple, who tied the knot in 2018, have been living separate lives, with Harry even having a room in a nearby hotel due to their growing distance. Meghan's increased time in Central L.A. further fueled speculations of a split.
Addressing the divorce rumors, Lizzie expressed her opinion on the couple's relationship. She spoke about the challenges that come with being a royal, highlighting the difference between being a celebrity princess and a royal princess.
Lizzie believed that Meghan wasn't fully prepared for the demands of being a royal, as it required hard work and dedication to fulfill various roles, such as opening hospitals and performing other duties.
Lizzie's candid comments echoed her previous statements to Grazia in 2021, where she mentioned Meghan's desire for fame. Speculations of a potential split gained traction on social media, with rumors circulating about Meghan filing for divorce, seeking a substantial settlement and full custody of their son, Archie. Anonymous tips on an Instagram gossip account further fueled the fire, claiming that the couple had sold their Montecito mansion, and Harry was living elsewhere.
While Meghan and Lizzie were close pals in the past, their friendship has since waned. They first met in 2013 when Lizzie was seated with Meghan at a charity event, arranged by a mutual friend. At that time, Meghan was interested in a role on the show "Made in Chelsea," and Lizzie tried to set her up with Ashley Cole.
Since their wedding, Meghan and Harry relocated from the UK to California after stepping down as senior working members of the royal family in 2020. Their decision sparked controversies, with the couple making several bombshell revelations, including allegations of racism within the royal family and financial struggles.
In recent months, the Sussexes faced professional setbacks, including the termination of their multi-million pound deal with Spotify, leading to the end of Meghan's podcast. Despite the challenges, the couple continues to navigate life away from the traditional royal fold.
