Meghan Markle has officially addressed the speculation about her and Prince Harry going their separate ways in a professional capacity.

For months, there have been whispers of tension between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, with many wondering if their relationship—both personal and professional—was facing challenges. These rumors only intensified as the two were increasingly seen attending events on their own.

Now, Markle has put an end to the uncertainty, confirming that they are moving forward with a “professional separation.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from their royal duties in 2020, choosing to relocate to California for a fresh start and the freedom to pursue new opportunities. While they’ve always presented a united front, speculation about their relationship continues to make headlines.

Back in December, Prince Harry attended the DealBook Summit in New York alone, where a journalist brought up the increasing rumors about the couple frequently making solo public appearances.

Addressing the speculation, the 40-year-old dismissed the claims, saying: “Apparently, we’ve bought or moved house maybe 10 or 12 times, and we’ve apparently divorced maybe 10 or 12 times as well. So, it’s just like, ‘what?’ It’s hard to keep up.”

Ever since he was a child, Prince Harry and his family have been a constant subject of tabloid coverage—something he also touched on in his response.

He pointed out that a lot of what the media puts out isn’t necessarily rooted in truth and highlighted the risks that come with this kind of reporting.

Although Prince Harry has dismissed the divorce rumors, it’s clear that both he and Meghan are currently focused on building their individual careers.

In a recent conversation with People, Markle opened up about the differences in their professional paths as she makes her way back into the entrepreneurial space.

Meghan Markle has officially launched her new lifestyle brand, As Ever, which seems to be a revamped version of The Tig—the platform she was managing before meeting Prince Harry.

Back when their relationship began to blossom, Markle decided to shut down The Tig along with her social media accounts to align with the expectations of the royal family.

Now that she’s stepping back into the lifestyle industry, Markle shared how this journey has influenced her dynamic with Prince Harry: “My husband met me when I had The Tig, and I see this spark in his eye when he sees me doing the thing that I was doing when he first met me.

“It’s almost like a honeymoon period again. It’s exactly how it was in the beginning when he’d watch me scribbling away, writing newsletters, fine-tuning edits, and just really being in the details of it.

“I think he loves watching as much as I love doing that creative process. It’s just been fun. This is who I’ve always been.”

Markle also opened up about how she and Prince Harry collaborate within The Archewell Foundation, saying: “I imagine that it’s the same as it would be for any couple. You have your individual jobs, but then you have things that you share together.

“We’ve been such a close team for so long that we’re just in it beat by beat with each other.

“And I love that. To be able to be a female founder and do that with my husband’s support means everything.”

While they remain committed to their foundation work as a duo, both are embracing the excitement of pursuing independent ventures again.

As part of this new chapter, Markle has introduced her own Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, a show centered around gardening and cooking.
