During the past few weeks, Prince Harry has been seen at public events without Meghan Markle, sparking rumors of a separation between the couple, who got married on May 19, 2018.
The prince has attended various engagements in Africa, the United Kingdom, and New York. It is not very surprising that he has gone alone to his home country, as he has stated on several occasions that he will not put Meghan at risk, as official security was not approved for her. However, many found it strange that he went without her to other events.
The Duchess also attended a charity gala in Los Angeles alone. Amid strong rumors of marital problems, a close friend of the couple clarified the alleged reason why they haven't been seen together in public lately. According to the British portal The Mirror, the informant said that the couple has prioritized raising their two children, five-year-old Archie and three-year-old Lilibeth. Therefore, they agreed that while Prince Harry fulfills his official commitments, Meghan stays home with the little ones.
This version seems to agree with the fact that despite not being with Meghan on his trips, Prince Harry spoke affectionately about her and their children in public.
The statement made by the couple's friend was confirmed by a reliable source, who assured that the dukes are prioritizing their children. Harry would be away for several weeks, and that was a long time for neither of them to be with the infants.
The royal commentator Jennie Bond said to ¡OK! Magazine: "Married couples don't have to do everything together... The children are young and it's much better for them to have a parent at home, so it all makes a lot of sense. It's just Harry doing what Harry does best," stated Jennie Bond, royal commentator, to ¡OK! Magazine.
