Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might not be going through their prime. The couple has faded into the background after a few months in the media spotlight due to the incendiary statements by Carlos III’s youngest son in his memoirs, called En la sombra, and in the docuseries that the couple starred in for Netflix. A background from which they come out now, at which time it is speculated that both could be going through a strong marital crisis.
Various means assure that the Dukes of Sussex are going through a harsh economic crisis, which would also have extended to the couple’s field. Although none of this has yet been confirmed, some of his latest movements could corroborate it. The rumors began with the non-celebration of their fifth wedding anniversary. Neither the actress nor the prince showed signs of having gone out to celebrate the day.
Another curious detail was the ‘kiss cam’ moment they experienced during an NBA game. It is something traditional in this type of event: the camera focuses on the couple who must kiss each other. Something that happened while they were both in a pavilion, for which Prince Enrique leaned in to kiss his wife, but she stopped him, removing her face and making him what is popularly known as “a cobra”. The moment did not go unnoticed, and crisis theories gain strength thanks to it.
According to The Telegraph, the Sussexes’ relationship is deteriorating, and this would have led them to distance themselves. Meghan Markle’s friend and makeup artist said the prince “has definitely found his place and he’s very settled in California, but he misses his home.” For his part, the British journalist Tom Bower recently assured that both would even be living apart. “They have started leading separate lives,” he said.
Bower assures that Meghan and Enrique are going through a crisis and that recent professional failures could be behind this crisis. It should be remembered that the Spotify podcast starring Meghan Markle was not renewed for a second season. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly signed a deal worth around $20 million in 2020, but sources close to Spotify say the couple fell short of the productivity benchmark required to receive full payment.
In fact, Spotify’s head of podcast monetization and innovation, Bill Simons, was especially hard on the pair. On his own podcast, Simons lashed out at the royal couple. “I wish I had been involved in the ‘Meghan and Harry leave Spotify: Los Malditos Estafiadores’ negotiation.’ That’s the podcast we should have launched with them,” he said. In addition, he added that he should explain the story of the conversation he had with the prince over Zoom “to try to help him with a podcast idea.” “It’s one of my best stories… Fuck them. Scammers,” he added.
Finally, sources close to the palace say that the Buckingham could have given the son of Carlos III the chance to return home. The only condition to be able to return, and be an active member of the Crown, would be divorcing the protagonist of Suits. While waiting for an official confirmation of the crisis between the two protagonists, everything indicates that, at least, the couple could go through a professional crisis.
