Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been married for over a year now. Although the two look happily in love, rumors about their possible divorce still loom until today. The likelihood of their split up once again resurfaced. Will it happen sooner than later?
In Quora, there is a discussion about the Sussexes' relationship that may not last. A lot of people think their romance will only be short-lived, while others believe that no one can predict their future.
Mickie Southam said that statistically, the odds are against Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Fifty percent of marriages today, unfortunately, end in divorce. Also, the fact that they are both a product of divorced parents, there is a big possibility that they may end up the same.
They are both over 30 years old -- Meghan Markle is even older than Prince Harry. He is her second marriage after her divorce from her first husband, Trevor Engelson, in 2013, and they have way different backgrounds. All these things may affect their relationship if they don't manage to work it out.
Also, Prince Harry grew up on tradition, while Meghan Markle used to be free and easy when she was in the U.S. In fact, some said that she still doesn't follow the royal protocol and live the way she wants until now. With all these factors, it may significantly increase the likelihood of their divorce.
In addition, royal author Angela Mollard recalled the time when she attended the Australian Geographic Awards, where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex awarded the most notable conservationists and adventurers their trophies. At the time, she was with a friend who predicted that after five years and two kids, the royal couple might split up.
If a divorce would ensue, she wrote on The Daily Telegraph that it would be "the worst royal divorce in modern history." Meghan Markle might return to her home country, taking baby Archie with her -- away from the royal family.
It can't be denied that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle live in wealth and comfort. However, they are far more vulnerable with all the scrutinies, criticisms, and protocols around them. They also revealed that they are unhappy in their controversial ITV documentary.
In Harry & Meghan: An African Journey, Prince Harry looked troubled and agitated, while his wife confessed that they were only living one day a time -- only existing but not living. Although they seemed united for now, Mollard said that they lacked the "anchor points" that would hold them together when the duke got riddled with guilt, and Meghan started questioning her decision to join the royal family.
