Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s secret ‘work divorce’

The stark detail in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s big announcements is very telling about where their relationship is heading.

Daily Mirror Royal Editor Russell Myers says Prince Harry “seems to think” he can have a role within the Royal Family despite them having other ideas.

In 1978 when Princess Margaret put down her ivory cigarette holder long enough to sign the paperwork to end her marriage to the Earl of Snowdon, the world got very excited about how big a deal it was that a princess was getting divorced.

Truth be told, the royal family has been getting up to the same thing, or trying to, since Henry VIII decided to dump Catherine of Aragon. A real shout out to George IV who tied the British House of Lords up for months trying to legally dump his wife Caroline of Brunswick in 1820. Charmer!

Last year, rumours of a new royal split started to trickle out from the House of Montecito. Was everything quite okay with Prince Harry and Meghan the Duke and Duchess of Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍?

Their increasingly dour faces didn’t help, along with claims that Harry sometimes took himself off to a nearby hotel on his lonesome. As the Telegraph reported in May, “The omens are bad”.

The last week has seen both Harry and Meghan make big announcements, with a new business deal in the bag and a big new TV interview beamed around the world. However, where these latest developments differ is that each only included one half of the formerly inseparable professional twosome.

Mark the time, note the date. Harry and Meghan Inc. is officially kaput.

First, hitherto little known podcast company Lemonada Media made global headlines after it was revealed that Meghan – and only Meghan – had joined their stable of talent.

While both Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍es were hired by Spotify way back in 2020, this time around only the former Suits star got her name up in lights on industry bible Deadline.

So what of her other half?

Last week the couple was in Whistler for a series of promotional events for the 2025 Invictus Games during which Harry gave an interview to Good Morning America (GMA) – and only Harry.
