Inside Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘separate lives’ rumours from solo events to pal’s shutdown
Mirror
It came after Harry attended a charity event for first responders held by Hollywood actor Kevin Costner without Meghan, who was reportedly sick and was unable to attend – several weeks after their joint trip to Colombia. The apparent pursuit of separate careers has also seen rumours swirl about their private life with one report alleging Harry spent the night of his 40th birthday with pals on a hiking holiday instead of his wife.
However, a source close to the couple told The Sun : “It is normal for couples to not do everything together” – and said it was Meghan who arranged the trip for her husband. But even Harry and Meghan’s local newspaper, t he Montecito Journal picked up on the gossip surrounding the couple about their “increasingly separate lives”
However, experts have explained why the couple appear to be on separate paths – especially when it comes to their careers. PR expert Mark Borkowski told The Telegraph that the Sussexes’ “separation of work” has been ongoing for a while now, especially as Meghan works on her new American Riviera Orchard brand.
And he believes the reason behind their solo appearances is because their “star power” as a couple that they believed they might have had when they dramatically quit their royal roles “didn’t work”. He explained: “They had to change the narrative. They need a venture that deflects from the failures.
“The charity aspect impresses upon everybody that he [Harry] does have value beyond the controversial stuff. It has the effect of separating them from the bad press and the failed content ideas. The punters still have time for Harry.”
