Recent discussions have surfaced about the state of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's marriage, particularly following a promotional clip for their upcoming interview on CBS Sunday Morning in August 2024.
The preview, released on August 1, 2024, has ignited speculation due to a seemingly tense moment between the couple, suggesting potential underlying drama in their relationship. In the clip, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle discuss a support program for families with children who have experienced severe cyberbullying. Meghan talks about efforts to improve the online landscape, after which interviewer Jane Pauley comments, "Well, you hope that when your children ask for help, someone you know is there to give it."
Prince Harry, who had been staring off into space, abruptly interjects, "If you know how to help." Meghan, appearing slightly uncomfortable, responds with a simple affirmation. Her body language, however, tells a different story; she turns towards Harry, blinks rapidly, and seems to clench her jaw.
This brief interaction has been widely debated on social media, with many interpreting Meghan's body language as indicative of deeper issues within their relationship. Observers noted her rapid blinking and jaw clenching, interpreting these as signs of open disdain and arrogant contempt. Some even went as far as to describe her expression as a "MegJucer glare," claiming it revealed a strong dislike for Harry.
The tense interaction has fueled rumors that the couple's relationship is more of a business arrangement than a genuine partnership. Critics argue that Meghan's demeanor during the interview reflects a long-standing power struggle, with some suggesting she resents Harry for taking up her interview time and hogging the spotlight. One comment read, "She has the same smug look she had as a child. She's giving him the stare to remind him that he's sucking up her precious interview time and hogging the microphone. He's there to be seen and not heard."
Some extreme reactions on social media even suggest potential domestic abuse, with accusations that Meghan emotionally manipulates Harry. Speculation extends to physical abuse, with some commentators alleging that Meghan's supposed bullying behavior could also manifest in physical aggression. These conjectures align with claims that Harry is alienated from his previous life and emotionally manipulated by references to his late mother, Princess Diana. A royal fan commented, "The moment she lost control over her hands—or the claw—for a second was even scarier. It looked like she wanted to strangle him as usual at home when he speaks but remembered there was a camera and stroked her hair instead with one of the claws, looking like a psychopath."
Experts note that contempt is a top predictor of divorce. Observers also pointed out that Harry appeared to look at Meghan with scorn during her speech, suggesting mutual disdain. This apparent inability to stand each other is seen as an indicator of a troubled marriage. One commentator remarked, "They're both liars. They hate each other and don't want to be anywhere near each other. This is evident in how they present their work as a couple and a family when they can barely stand to be around one another."
Additionally, there is a belief that Meghan heavily relies on Harry for media presence. Critics argue that without Harry, Meghan struggles to draw an audience, even with her title as Duchess of Sussex. The interview's promotion as a joint appearance underscores this dependency. A social media user stated, "Meghan is essentially nothing in the media without Harry. If it was just Meghan on this interview, no one would watch it, and it wouldn't be airing on a major network like CBS."
While these interpretations and speculations abound, it's important to note that they remain just that—speculations. The true nature of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's relationship is known only to the couple themselves.
