Over the last seven years, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship seemed to stand strong against external pressures. But lately, indications suggest they have been maintaining a certain distance.

Prince Harry’s overseas commitments, ranging from legal affairs to charity initiatives, took him away from home while Meghan marked her 42nd birthday and attended events in Los Angeles. The speculation intensified when Meghan was seen without her distinct engagement ring, which was crafted by Prince Harry. She stated it was being repaired.

The past year has posed its own set of hurdles for the Sussexes. While Harry’s autobiography “Spare” received positive reviews, the duo encountered criticism for reportedly overstating a paparazzi encounter in New York and for their unproductive deals with Spotify and Netflix. 

Close sources claim internal disagreements, primarily related to financial concerns and unfulfilled aspirations, are weighing them down.

The emphasis on Harry’s solo ventures and Meghan’s focus on rebooting her acting career, marked by her collaboration with a prominent agent and the success of her series “Suits” on Netflix, seems to underline their individual paths more than their joint endeavors.

Interestingly, Prince Harry’s bond with his father, King Charles, appears to be strengthening. Putting their past disagreements aside, Charles has been lending his support to Harry, recognizing the effects of public attention on personal relationships.

Friends of the couple voice their apprehensions about the future of their relationship. The move to California, initially viewed as a fresh start, has presented its unique challenges. Although Harry and Meghan continue to affirm their bond, the evolving nature of their individual goals might pose a test.
