Meghan Markle has confirmed her ‘professional separation’ from Prince Harry in a new interview.
In recent months, rumors have circulated about a potential rift between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Questions surrounding the status of their personal and professional relationship were heightened after the couple made several public appearances alone.
Now, Markle has confirmed that the couple is ‘professionally separating.’
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior royals in 2020. The pair moved to California for a fresh start and the opportunity to engage in other ventures.
The couple has long appeared to be a united front, but speculative headlines continue to follow them.
Prince Harry appeared alone at the DealBook Summit in New York back in December, where a journalist questioned him about the rumors surrounding their recent solo public appearances.
The 40-year-old shut down the rumors at the Summit, responding: “Apparently, we’ve bought or moved house maybe 10 or 12 times, and we’ve apparently divorced maybe 10 or 12 times as well. So, it’s just like, ‘what?’ It’s hard to keep up.”
Tabloids have been writing about the prince and his family since he was a young child, which Prince Harry also touched upon in his answer.
He suggested that much of what the public reads in the media is often not based in fact. He also emphasized how dangerous this type of reporting can be.
Despite Prince Harry shutting down divorce rumors, it’s evident that both parties are currently prioritizing their solo career ventures.
In a new interview with People, Markle revealed their relationship differences as she returns to the entrepreneurial world.
Markle has announced her new lifestyle brand, As Ever, which appears to be a reworking of The Tig, a brand she was running when she met Prince Harry.
As her relationship with the prince grew, Markle shut down her first brand and social media due to royal family expectations.
Markle has revealed that getting back to the lifestyle market has impacted her relationship with Prince Harry: “My husband met me when I had The Tig, and I see this spark in his eye when he sees me doing the thing that I was doing when he first met me.
“It’s almost like a honeymoon period again. It’s exactly how it was in the beginning when he’d watch me scribbling away, writing newsletters, fine-tuning edits, and just really being in the details of it.
“I think he loves watching as much as I love doing that creative process. It’s just been fun. This is who I’ve always been.”
Markle also spoke about their work as a couple within The Archwell Foundation, continuing: “I imagine that it’s the same as it would be for any couple. You have your individual jobs, but then you have things that you share together.
“We’ve been such a close team for so long that we’re just in it beat by beat with each other.
“And I love that. To be able to be a female founder and do that with my husband’s support means everything.”
Although the couple will still be involved in their foundation work together, they are enjoying the shift to their solo projects again.
Markle has released her gardening and cooking show with Netflix, titled With Love, Meghan.
