Friends of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex dismiss talk of tension and “divorce plans”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have overcome what many call the most challenging period of their relationship, standing firm together when speculation once hinted at a possible split. The couple, who permanently relocated to the United States after stepping down from royal duties in 2020, appear more united than ever as they continue to build a life away from the monarchy.
Still, rumours about Harry’s supposed desire to return to Britain refuse to fade. Some royal observers claim the Palace is quietly planning to welcome the Sussexes and their children back, allegedly at the monarch’s request. This talk, paired with Harry’s recent meeting with his father, has reignited gossip that not all is well between the Duke and Duchess.
Critics suggest Meghan has no intention of returning to royal life, recalling how unhappy she felt living in the UK under intense scrutiny. Reports claim she worries about their children’s future and fears Harry could be drawn back into the same pressures that once caused turmoil. Yet those close to her insist she’s confident her husband’s loyalty remains firm.
Despite speculation of a “divorce plan” said to be in discussion behind palace doors, insiders close to the Sussexes have strongly denied such claims. “The idea that Harry is pushing to move back while Meghan refuses is being exaggerated,” a source told Radar Online. Rumours of a “golden handshake” settlement—allegedly to keep Meghan financially secure while preserving her Duchess title—have also been dismissed as pure fantasy.
Friends of the couple find these rumours laughable, insisting Harry and Meghan are happy and devoted to each other. They continue to share a close bond and enjoy their time together, brushing off gossip that suggests otherwise.
Despite constant public scrutiny, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain steadfast—focused on their family, their future, and their shared life in California.
