Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Divorce Claims Spark New Debate
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have once again found themselves in the spotlight, following a statement from the Duke that has reignited discussions about their relationship. Recent allegations surrounding a potential divorce have fueled intense speculation, prompting friends of the couple to come forward and clarify the situation.
The claims, originally detailed in a bombshell Vanity Fair article, have reportedly added further strain to an already challenging time for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. According to a friend who spoke with The Daily Beast, the rumors have only served to make "a bad time worse" for the couple.
The controversy began when a member of Meghan’s team allegedly hinted to publishers about her writing a book on life after a potential divorce from Prince Harry. "The divorce story seemed very unfair. There was a book but there wasn’t a book. She was planning for life after divorce, but they are totally in love. What? There was not a shred of evidence," the friend told the outlet.
The Vanity Fair article claimed that rumors had circulated in the publishing world suggesting Meghan’s team had explored the possibility of a book centered on a post-divorce scenario. However, an unidentified source reportedly clarified that the couple had no plans to divorce. The inquiry was allegedly theoretical—a discussion about whether publishers might be interested in such a book if a divorce were ever to occur.
Despite the chatter, no formal proposals were made, no manuscripts were drafted, and nothing concrete emerged from these speculative discussions.
While the article hinted at discord, it also emphasized that numerous sources close to the couple attest to their deep affection for one another. "Everyone" reportedly agrees that Harry and Meghan appear to be "so hot for each other" and very much in love.
However, the friend who spoke to The Daily Beast admitted that the recent rumors have caused additional stress. "Things aren’t easy for them right now, and these stories have succeeded in making a bad time worse," the friend said.
Prince Harry himself has previously dismissed divorce rumors, humorously stating that he and Meghan have "apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times." He made this remark during the 2024 DealBook Summit in New York, brushing off the speculation with a dose of sarcasm.
Meanwhile, outspoken British presenter Piers Morgan has weighed in on the couple's recent public appearances, accusing them of “cynical” self-promotion. Morgan’s comments came after Harry and Meghan’s visits to Los Angeles fire relief centers, which some critics labeled as “disaster tourism.”
“I’m afraid I’m very cynical. I think it’s purely for self-promotional reasons,” Morgan said in an interview, echoing the sentiments of some skeptics.
As Harry and Meghan navigate ongoing public scrutiny, their friends and allies have been quick to defend their relationship, dismissing divorce rumors as baseless. While challenges persist, the couple’s bond appears to remain strong, despite the relentless media speculation.
