Amanda LynnePrince Harry and Meghan Markle shocked fans when they announced they were leaving the Royal Family in 2020. Now, six years later, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are making another major move, leaving their Montecito, California home behind and returning to the UK with their children, Archie and Lilibet. As the couple prepares for their homecoming, a familiar rumor is making the rounds once again: speculation that their marriage is in trouble.
A Pattern of Unconfirmed Divorce Rumors
This isn’t the first time speculation about trouble in Harry and Meghan’s marriage has circulated, and so far, neither has confirmed anything about the state of their relationship. The couple has faced recurring divorce rumors for years, and both have directly pushed back on them in the past.
At a New York Times DealBook Summit appearance, Harry joked that he and Meghan have “apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times” according to the rumor mill over the years, adding that the constant speculation is “definitely not a good thing” and that he tries to ignore it. Meghan has also addressed the rumors directly on more than one occasion, describing Harry as a devoted partner and their family life as strong.
What the Latest Rumors Claim
Despite that history, a new round of speculation is circulating. According to sources, Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice reports that things are not good between the Sussexes, with an insider claiming Harry wants to repair the relationship while Meghan has emotionally moved on. “Harry may still be looking for a way back, but Meghan isn’t,” a source tells Naughty But Nice.
“She’s not sitting around wondering how to fix this marriage. Emotionally, she’s already several steps ahead of him.” It’s important to note this account comes from anonymous sourcing alone, with no confirmation from Harry, Meghan, or their representatives.
The same report goes on to speculate that if the couple were to separate, a custody dispute over Archie and Lilibet could follow. “Meghan will compromise on plenty of things. Archie and Lilibet are not among them,” the insider claims. “She will fight like hell.” This remains entirely speculative, and there is no indication from either Harry or Meghan that a separation is actually happening.
Nothing Confirmed For Now
Given how often this same rumor has surfaced and been directly denied by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle over the years, it’s worth taking this latest report with real skepticism. Unless and until they address it themselves, the state of their marriage remains exactly what it’s always been to the public: private.
