Amidst a tumultuous month for the Sussexes, where they witnessed the collapse of multi-million dollar projects and faced public criticism from prominent Hollywood figures, a new development has emerged.
According to sources, Meghan Markle has reportedly called upon lawyers to file a financial demand of a staggering $80 million as a prerequisite for signing the divorce papers.
The once-envied couple's marital woes have escalated to an unprecedented level, marked by a series of unfortunate events, including being overlooked by the King on his birthday.
Speculation has been rife about the state of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's relationship, with widespread reports suggesting that their Montecito Mansion is now a hotbed of marital discord.
Following Harry's return from London, where he made a court appearance for his phone hacking case, the couple's reunion was short-lived. Rather than seeking solace in each other's arms, Harry chose to attend the Warrior Games competition in San Diego, leaving Meghan behind.
These circumstances have fueled rumors of a potential divorce, with American pundit Megyn Kelly recently stating that the dissolution of their marriage is entirely plausible, given the numerous dramas they have endured.
Adding to the speculation, Royal expert Tomboa has echoed Kelly's sentiments, indicating that Meghan may be growing weary of Harry's actions. The gossip website Radar Online even went so far as to report that the couple has consulted divorce lawyers. Moreover, there are allegations that Meghan has been in contact with prominent Hollywood attorneys.
These developments come in the wake of Meghan's loss of a $29 million deal with Spotify and failure to secure a deal with Dior. Rumors have also surfaced suggesting that Netflix is considering severing ties with the Sussexes. The Daily Mail further suggests that Meghan would be wise to distance herself from the toxic dramas involving Harry's family.
The situation at home is described as incredibly tense, as the couple's Hollywood brand appears to be crumbling. A source close to Meghan reveals her frustration with Harry, blaming him for a series of ill-advised decisions that have led them to their current precarious state.
Consequently, her financial advisor has urged her to pursue a post-nuptial agreement to safeguard her own deals and assets, given the absence of a prenuptial agreement. Megan's objective in formulating this agreement is to ensure that Harry will not be able to capitalize on her future endeavors.
The picture painted of Harry and Meghan's potential future is undeniably bleak compared to the fairytale wedding they had at Windsor Castle in 2018. A source close to Harry maintains that he is desperate to prevent matters from escalating further, asserting his deep love for Meghan. However, the source acknowledges that even the strongest of marriages would struggle to weather this storm in light of the lost media deals and ambassadorships.
Amidst the rift between the couple, reports have surfaced claiming that Meghan has filed a financial demand in order to proceed with the divorce. The astonishing figure of $80 million has been cited, alongside her demand for sole custody of their children. These revelations have emerged alongside crumbling reports about the state of their marriage.
Royal biographer Angela Levin, speaking to Sky News Australia, expressed her belief that the marriage is nearing its end. Furthermore, psychic John Hughes predicted a split within 18 months, citing the overwhelming negativity surrounding their wedding.
Attempting to address the rumors, Meghan Markle made a public appearance in Santa Barbara, California, seemingly brushing off the divorce speculations. She and Harry were seen leaving an office building hand in hand, accompanied by what appeared to be a bodyguard. While Harry appeared visibly dejected, Meghan put on a brave face for the cameras, portraying an image of happiness that some speculate may be a façade.
