Recently, the couple participated in a highly staged, pre-recorded video for a charity, and a glowing feature about their relationship adorned the cover of People magazine. Yet, these efforts have done little to quell ongoing doubts about the future of their marriage.
Many sources suggest that Harry may not be content in California, where he often finds himself alone on Santa Barbara beaches with his faithful Labrador, Pula. His itinerary includes several solo overseas trips, including Polo engagements in Singapore and Japan this month. Additionally, there are tentative plans for him to travel to Africa, his beloved destination, for a documentary once the Hollywood actors and writers' strike concludes. Harry is also on standby to return to London for various legal cases against British newspapers.
It appears that none of these trips align with Meghan's interests, and she is notably absent from Harry's travel plans. An insider close to the Sussexes even hints that Harry and Meghan might use these trips as an unofficial break to work on their relationship.
Despite their recent video appearance, sources from Hollywood suggest a different reality. Meghan, a former actress, is allegedly keeping a low profile following a series of project setbacks. Reports indicate that she was not invited to a friend's baby shower, organized by tennis star Serena Williams, despite Meghan having her own lavish New York baby shower during her pregnancy with Archie.
Furthermore, allegations have arisen, suggesting that high-profile politicians, including California governor Gavin Newsom, have been avoiding Meghan's calls. These factors have led some friends to fear that the mounting pressure may strain the Sussexes' marriage.
Their move to America, filled with grand plans, may not have unfolded as expected. The couple now seems to have little in common, with disagreements arising concerning their children's education and media exposure. Meghan's claim that they "always move together" is coming back to haunt her as Harry appears poised for solo travels.
Harry and Meghan released a pre-recorded video of themselves last week, emphasizing their unity and shared interests in charity work. However, some insiders remain skeptical, perceiving the display as a calculated public relations effort.
As speculation about their relationship and the marriage's future reaches its peak, Harry and Meghan are attempting to present a united front before Harry embarks on his travels. The tension between them is palpable, with Meghan appearing reserved and Harry seemingly overcompensating with enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, some of Meghan's former associates have suggested that their charity work would have greater impact if done without the presence of cameras. They observe that every public appearance initiated by the couple is perceived as a publicity stunt, even when linked to charitable causes, which may ultimately detract from their charitable efforts.
