Rumors of Trouble in Paradise
Ahead of Prince Harry's 40th birthday, signs suggest tensions between him and Meghan Markle. Plans for a lads getaway without Meghan have sparked speculation about the state of their relationship.
Key Signs of Strain
Harry's failure to mention Meghan in his birthday statement and reports of his isolation and unhappiness in the US raise concerns about the couple's dynamic. Royal expert Hugo Vickers points to these as key signs that things may not be 'rosy' for the pair.
Impact of Meghan's Influence
Vickers suggests that Meghan sets the agenda for the couple, leading to a perception of a confident Meghan and an unhappy Harry. The expert highlights how Meghan's influence has shaped Harry's life since their move to the US.
Concerns for the Future
Vickers expresses doubts about a bright future for the couple in a highly commercial world. He warns that the couple's reliance on Harry's royal celebrity status may not be sustainable in the long run.
Staff Difficulties and Speculation
Reports of Meghan being dubbed "Duchess Difficult" and a "dictator in high heels" by staff add to the speculation surrounding the couple. High turnover of staff raises concerns about the couple's ability to maintain loyalty and stability.
Potential Future Scenarios
Vickers voices worries that the situation may not end well for the Sussexes unless they deliver in a sharp and cutting-edge world. He suggests that Meghan's independent plans could lead to a future where she may outgrow her need for Harry.
