WEB DESK: Speculation is mounting over the state of the Sussex marriage as Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, continues a string of high-profile, independent engagements, leading some royal observers to suggest she is laying the groundwork for a financially secure future, alone.
The shift in focus has been unmistakable in recent months. While the couple previously emphasized their “salt and pepper” togetherness, the Duchess has been actively cultivating her own brand separate from Prince Harry, highlighted by major solo appearances. These include her recent appearance at Paris Fashion Week and a high-profile solo voyage to Washington D.C. to speak at a business summit, all without the duke by her side.
For many, this strategy points to one thing: a calculated “professional divorce” that may lead to a permanent personal split.
HARRY “SIDELINED” AS MEGHAN BUILDS HER BRAND
According to commentators, Meghan’s solo activities are evidence of a laser focus on her own commercial ventures, including her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, and forthcoming Netflix projects.
One prominent royal observer, who requested anonymity to speak candidly about the shifting dynamics, claims the Duchess is “fully prepared” for an official divorce, having achieved the global platform she desired.
“Meghan did not marry for love; she married for ambition, and the trappings of royalty were the stepping stone she needed,” the source stated. “Now that she has the global name recognition and the financial foundation, Harry is, quite frankly, surplus to requirements. He is seen by some as damaged goods in the American market, and his continued presence is no longer essential to her vision of a solo business empire.”
As Meghan continues to embrace the spotlight on her own terms, questions linger about Prince Harry’s future role, with many suggesting he is being increasingly sidelined in favor of his wife’s powerful narrative.
