The agreement would also grant Meghan the continued use of her Duchess of Sussex title. The Palace sees it as a face-saving measure, because tearing it away from her could spark a media war.’
The Palace intends to grant Markle continued use of her Duchess of Sussex title as a strategic move to avoid igniting a media war by stripping her of it. Adding fuel to the fire, singer Joss Stone, who recently performed at the WellChild Awards where Prince Harry presented an award, shared that Prince Harry praised British schools and community spirit, hinting at his desire to bring his children back to the U.K.
Stone noted:
It was nice to share that with him because it’s exactly why we felt drawn to come back – for the kids to grow up surrounded by family, friends, and a strong sense of belonging and most importantly in a safe environment.
Prince Harry wants his kids to grow up in the UK, but only if their safety is guaranteed. A royal insider disclosed that the palace is focused on ensuring “the future of Archie and Lilibet would be pre-mapped in meticulous detail”. This planning would cover everything, like
Schooling, where they live, custody, and travel permissions would all be agreed upon until the age of 18. It’s about controlling the narrative and protecting the monarchy. They don’t want a messy tug-of-war over the children splashed across every newspaper.
Palace aides are aware that if it appears Prince Harry is being blocked from returning home, it could sway public sympathy in his favor, creating a powerful narrative.
Could Lack of ‘Intimacy’ Be the Reason Behind Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Split Rumors?
While the public watches the royal drama, RadarOnline has looked into some more personal, though unconfirmed, details about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship. Sources indicate that
There’s been little intimacy between him and Meghan for a long time, since the birth of their second child. They live more like colleagues or co-parents than a couple.
Reports claim that Prince Harry is using hair-loss medications with side effects that include headaches, mood swings, and s*xual dysfunction, “price he’s not worried about paying”. Prince Harry has “become obsessed with keeping what’s left, even if the meds mess with his hormones,” with friends suggesting he’s “trading off his manhood for vanity.”
Conflicting narratives continue, as other reports suggest Prince Harry desires more children while Markle insists two is enough, heightening the cracks in their marriage that insiders say are “impossible to ignore.” Despite these rumors, Prince Harry recently stood firmly by Markle’s side during the backlash over her Paris Fashion Week video, indicating some level of solidarity remains. Another insider admitted (per RadarOnline):
Harry’s started to reflect on some of the choices they made, particularly over how they left the royal family. He’s been admitting that the way it all played out has weighed heavily on him.
The undercurrents of tension between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are stirring the royal waters, but the full picture remains clouded in speculation and strategic silence. Will Prince Harry’s pull towards his royal roots be the wedge that drives a final break?
