Recent reports have surfaced revealing a possible “blueprint” for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to live separate lives, according to insiders close to Radar Online. The couple, who have been under the public eye since stepping back from royal duties, are reportedly drifting apart, with signs of growing tension in their relationship.
According to sources, “Harry and Meghan are going to live separate lives—and have a blueprint for doing so.” The insider added that their relationship has been strained for some time, largely due to Prince Harry’s desire to return to the UK. “They have been drifting apart for a while,” the source explained, “with Harry’s desire to return to the UK, where his old drinking buddies are, and his hope to return to the very comfortable fold of the Royal Family putting a real strain on their marriage.”
For those unfamiliar with recent events, Prince Harry has been spending significant time away from Montecito, the California home he shares with Meghan and their two children, Archie and Lilibet. His time apart began with his attendance at a charity event in New York City, followed by his trip to London for the WellChild Awards, an event he has supported for years. Shortly after, Harry traveled to Lesotho, a country in Southern Africa where he has long been involved in charity work through his Sentebale organization.
These solo trips have fueled speculation that Harry is feeling the pull of his former life in the UK, where his close friends and royal family ties remain. His longing for the familiarity and comfort of his old life has reportedly caused friction between him and Meghan, who is believed to be focused on building their life in California, away from the royal spotlight.
The source also indicated that while Harry’s trips have raised eyebrows, Meghan has largely stayed behind, focusing on their life in the U.S. and her own career aspirations. The couple, who once seemed united in their decision to step away from royal duties, now appear to be navigating different paths.
However, it is important to note that no official announcements have been made by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex regarding their relationship or future plans. While the rumors of them “living separate lives” continue to circulate, the couple has not publicly addressed the state of their marriage.
As both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to carve out their individual identities in the public sphere, it remains to be seen how their relationship will evolve amidst the pressures of their high-profile lives. Whether or not they will follow the so-called “blueprint” for separation is yet to be confirmed, but the signs of strain are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
