Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are leading ‘separate lives’ as pals reveal their fears

Fears have reportedly been expressed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are “drifting apart”.

The Duke, who now resides in the US with Meghan, also embarked on a solo trip to London earlier this week to attend this year’s WellChild awards. Meghan is said to have remained at home in Montecito with their children.

Harry’s series of solo visits have now reportedly led friends to fear that the couple – who have been married for six years – are slowly “drifting apart”.

As reported by The Sun, a source close to Meghan and Harry has spoken out on the speculation that all may not be well in the Sussex camp.

Aside from their work life, insiders recently told The Sun that the couple have also been spending more of their down time apart.

According to an article by the publication, Harry has barely been home to Montecito for the past three weeks. Whilst in the UK earlier this week, Harry did not see either his father, King Charles nor his brother, Prince William.

Speaking of his appearance at the WellChild awards, which took place at London’s Royal Lancastar Hotel, one of those attending said that Harry “looked like the old Harry we knew and loved”.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle “threatened the future of the monarchy” due to their popularity during their time as senior working royals, a PR expert has claimed.

The couple – who tied the knot in 2018 – made the decision to step down from royal duties four years ago. In their public statement – which was released on January 8, 2020 – Meghan and Harry shared that they wished to “become financially independent”.

Meghan and Harry, who now reside in the US with their two children, appeared to appeal more to the general public prior to their shock announcement.

Speaking of the couple, PR expert Carla Speight claims that Meghan and Harry were previously a “threat” to the future of the monarchy – especially with the now-Prince and Princess of Wales in line for the royal throne.

Discussing calls to abolish the monarchy, which has seen an increase in recent years, Meghan and Harry were two of the most popular royals during the “early days of their engagement and wedding”.

Ms Speight told Express.co.uk: “Harry and Meghan were arguably the more popular couple, which threatened the future of the monarchy as it was William and Kate who were next in line.”

According to research conducted by Statista, a poll from October 2019 showed that 71 percent of those polled held a favourable opinion of Prince Harry. This result dropped to just 30 percent during a similar popularity poll conducted last August.

Royal author Ingrid Seward claims that Harry’s explosive claims against the royals were a major factor to his declining popularity.

She told the Sun: “I think what people really dislike is that he dissed his family. I think his memoir Spare earned him millions but gosh he’s paid for it. Or is still paying for it.”

A year after their original statement, Meghan and Harry shared that they had no plans to rejoin the Royal Family nor move back to the UK in 2021. Meghan and Harry now live in California with their two children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.
