No matter what they do or don't do, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry seem destined to make headlines in the United Kingdom, despite having lived in the United States for five years. They moved there in 2020 after the couple decided to sever ties with the British royal family, aiming to distance themselves from the constant scrutiny they face. Something they haven't quite achieved, it should be noted.
Throughout this time, there have been numerous rumors about a crisis within their marriage. Speculation has taken on a very worrying dimension in light of the latest article dedicated to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex by the British press, which has set off alarm bells. "Although life hasn't been boring for either of them, perhaps boredom would be better than the chaos they're currently experiencing," they warn.
The problems that are allegedly contributing to a rift between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
Just about to premiere their new reality series on Netflix, Meghan Markle and, consequently, Prince Harry, are once again at the center of controversy due to new rumors of a crisis. "Life doesn't seem to be getting any easier for the couple. There are warning signs in the marriage that are hard to ignore," notes 'The List,' which has highlighted ten indicators that are allegedly contributing to a rift between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. "Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have different visions of the future. In 2024, sources close to Harry claimed that he wanted to return to the UK so that his children could spend time in their homeland," they assert. Meghan Markle reportedly does not support this position.
The financial situation is also reportedly causing a major rift between Prince William's brother and his wife, putting a lot of strain on their marriage, according to sources in the UK. "They needed the money. The way they live and the rate at which they spend... They'll run out of cash sooner rather than later, and it's not like anyone's rushing to hire them. As they've shown time and again, the only time they make money is when they've sold out their family and that cow has been milked dry," a source close to the couple recently revealed to News Nation, as reported by The List.
Prince Harry's precarious situation in the United States and his growing estrangement from his family
This isn't the first time Prince Harry's loneliness in the United States has been discussed, lacking a strong group of friends and with little to do. To this must be added the lack of strong ties with his family. The fact that he doesn't maintain a fluid relationship with the Windsors (his relationship with his brother is nonexistent) is reportedly taking a toll on the mood of Charles III's son and, therefore, on his relationship with his wife. "While Harry has always claimed to be understanding of the situation, the longer the problems between him and his family persist, the greater the chance that resentment will build up, and any resentment Harry has towards his family could spill over into his relationship with Meghan Markle," 'The List' states emphatically.
It also happens that the former actress's family is not a source of reassurance for either her or Harry. "Meghan is estranged from most of her immediate family and was even sued for defamation by her half-sister, Samantha Markle. It's a stressful situation for her. She also doesn't speak to her father and hasn't been in contact with him for years, only with her mother, the only family member who attended her wedding to the prince," the publication reports.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's "embarrassment" is becoming increasingly evident to nonverbal communication experts.
To further delve into the signs indicating a rift between the couple, experts point to the fact that, during public appearances they attend together, "Meghan Markle and Prince Harry seem embarrassed by each other." This is a rather strong assertion supported by analyses of their behavior conducted by nonverbal communication experts. For example, their behavior during a 2023 Beyoncé concert. "(Harry) looked miserable. It has caused a lot of tension with Meghan. He's telling her to stop embarrassing them. She had a great time, relaxing and dancing. But Harry was stiff as a board, looking extremely annoyed," they argue in 'The List'.
In short, it doesn't seem like things are going well for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's marriage if we consider the signs that, according to the British press, are quite unequivocal about their current situation. "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very susceptible to negativity from outsiders, and every couple has a limit to what they can handle," the magazine predicts.
