Friends Worry as Harry and Meghan’s Lives Appear to Move in Different Directions
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly facing a serious test in their marriage, with insiders suggesting a new crisis may be unfolding as Harry stands firm over a significant issue.
Royal experts have long pointed out that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who left the royal family in 2020 to start a new life in the United States, have been pursuing increasingly different goals — a gap that now seems to be putting their relationship under strain.
According to reports, friends of the couple are “raising eyebrows” as Harry’s latest moves appear to take him further away from Meghan’s focus on expanding her business empire. Meghan is said to be fully immersed in developing her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, maintaining her Netflix projects, and preparing for a new podcast, while Harry seems to be heading in a different direction.
Adding to the tension, Harry remains deeply troubled by his fractured relationship with King Charles, who continues to undergo cancer treatment. Sources say Harry is “desperate to make amends” and is struggling with a growing sense of homesickness.
“The biggest elephant in the room is Harry’s homesickness and the emotional stress caused by the rift with his family,” an insider told Heat magazine.
The couple recently travelled to New York for Meghan’s appearance at the Time100 Summit, where Harry publicly expressed pride in his wife's achievements. However, behind closed doors, sources suggest their paths are diverging.
“With Meghan now focusing on her projects in New York, there are reports that Harry is planning to return to the U.K. next month, along with spending more time in Europe,” the insider revealed.
This development has sparked concerns over how the couple will manage their growing commitments and maintain their marriage. “There simply aren’t enough hours in the day,” the source added.
Friends close to the Sussexes believe the couple are facing a defining moment. “There’s been a major shift in their relationship. It’s definitely the toughest period they’ve experienced so far. The honeymoon phase was always going to end — and now they are dealing with very real challenges together.”
