Is it true that the couple who plays together stays together? For Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, it's hard to tell.
Recent events suggest that their relationship might be unraveling faster than Meghan's patience for bad publicity. Their recent trip to Nigeria, bankrolled by a money launderer, has only added fuel to the fire. Divorce rumors have been hounding the couple ever since, and their appearance at the ESPY Awards has done little to quell the speculation.
The pair made quite a scene at the ESPYs. Harry accepted the Pat Tillman Award for Service, but the real drama unfolded in the audience. Meghan was seen pulling on Harry's left arm as he left her alone in a front-row seat to accept the award. Many skeptics surmised that Meghan was trying to get him to drag her on stage, and following the snub, she had the audacity to stand and clap. Talk about awkward.
According to an insider, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seemed distant and disengaged during the event. Harry never reciprocated Meghan's attempts at physical contact. Meghan's hand was often seen resting on Harry's knee, but his hands were conspicuously absent or occupied elsewhere, suggesting a lack of intimacy. Even when Meghan placed a hand on Harry's knee, his body language remained distant. This minimal physical contact between the couple has led many to wonder about the underlying reasons for this apparent coldness.
Another point of analysis was Harry's demeanor in photos. When Harry was interacting with other attendees, such as Serena Williams, he appeared genuinely happy and engaged. However, when Meghan was in the frame, his expression seemed notably less joyful. This contrast has fueled rumors that Meghan might be the cause of Harry's subdued demeanor, with some suggesting that she is unhappy with how their life is unfolding away from the royal spotlight. The two made a spectacle of themselves as they walked out of the venue while a presenter was trying to speak on stage. There were muffled catcalls and boos, with one person reportedly yelling, "She's no Princess of Wales," while another sniped, "Don't give her the microphone." Reports indicate that they left in separate cars. Could it be that Harry and Meghan detest one another as much as the public loathes them? Definitely, maybe.
If the rumor mill is correct, a source told In Touch Weekly that Harry and Meghan's marriage is hanging by a thread. The insider added that Meghan was in tears when Prince Harry took off his wedding ring. They mentioned that if they were to announce a divorce, it would be a bombshell. It's shocking enough that the UK press is reporting on their growing rift. According to Gov.uk, multiple sources with inside knowledge of the Markle situation confirm that tensions are clearly rising. Adding to the speculation, Tom Quinn, a royal biographer, has been quoted as saying that there's a growing rift between Harry and Meghan. Meghan, reportedly dissatisfied with her life not going as planned, craves media attention and is frustrated by their waning public interest. Quinn's insights suggest that Meghan's discontent is causing strain in their marriage.
Considering the observations from the ESPYs and the insider reports, there's a growing belief that Meghan and Harry's marriage might be heading towards a breakdown. The physical distance observed at the awards, combined with the emotional strain reported by insiders, paints a picture of a couple struggling to maintain their relationship.
