Meghan Markle's recent daytime outing in California with friends Cleo Harper, Myka Harris, and Kadi Lee has ignited a fresh wave of speculation regarding her relationship with Prince Harry. The Duchess of Sussex's appearance on an Instagram story shared by Harris was interpreted by some as a calculated move, particularly by royal expert Angela Levin.
During a television segment, Levin commented on the post, suggesting that Meghan's public outings might be an attempt to overshadow her husband. "She doesn't want him to get any more attention than she does. She is used to him walking behind her as a servant, so I think that's what that is. She wants to be center stage," Levin remarked. She further added, "Who cares who she sees? All women see their friends. It's pathetic."
However, insiders close to the Sussexes have refuted these claims, emphasizing the couple's strong bond. Katie Nicholl, a royal commentator, shared her observations of the couple's genuine connection. "My experience with Harry and Meghan - whenever I've been with them as a couple, who are very, very close - [have] a sort of spark between them that always struck me as being very authentic," she stated.
Nicholl also addressed the recent rumors surrounding the couple, particularly in the wake of the fallout from Prince Harry's book, "Spare." The book has reportedly strained Harry's relationships in Britain, further distancing him from friends and family. This has inevitably placed pressure on the couple's relationship.
Another point of contention has been Meghan's noticeable absence during Harry's press tour for "Spare." Nicholl observed, "And I think it was very notable that in the run-up to the launch of his autobiography, he had all the publicity and Meghan was noticeable by her absence." She further noted that despite the rumors, there's no concrete evidence of a rift between the couple. "They're presenting a very united front," Nicholl concluded.
While the Sussexes continue to navigate their lives in the public eye, the speculation around their relationship remains rife. As they forge ahead, it remains to be seen how the couple will address or sidestep the ongoing rumors.
