Prince Harry Is ‘Desperate’ to Repair Marriage as He and Meghan Markle Are ‘Living

For seven years, it was Prince Harry and Meghan Markle against the world. “They used to be inseparable. But this summer, things started to change,” says a source. While he was in London in June for his court case, she was reportedly attending parties back home in Montecito without him. By mid-August, he was gone again – this time for a charity polo match in Singapore, with a quick stop in Japan – while she caught a Taylor Swift concert in L.A. and celebrated a belated 42nd birthday over a meal with friends. “They seem to be spending more and more time apart. It’s not a good sign.”

Another troubling sign? She hasn’t been seen wearing the custom triple diamond engagement ring that Harry designed himself, sparking rampant speculation that after struggling with increasingly negative public opinion and failing business ventures, the Sussexes are headed for a split. “Meghan has claimed the ring is being repaired, but she’s been spotted on multiple occasions without it since May, and she has to know that not wearing it would cause divorce rumors to explode,” says a source. “Some people think she did it on purpose to send a subtle message to Harry that she’s not happy in the marriage.

It’s no secret that they’ve been having some growing pains.” It’s definitely been a rough year. Despite the massive success of his memoir, Spare, in January, the tide soon started to turn. In May, the pair were accused of exaggerating a run-in with the paparazzi in NYC, and the next month, they were labeled “grifters” by a Spotify exec after their multimillion-dollar deal with the streamer went belly-up. Experts complained they also had little to show for their $100 million Netflix collaboration. “Harry and Meghan have lost a lot of momentum and the goodwill they had in Hollywood, and their production company has even been called a ‘flop,’” notes the source. And though they continue to put up a united front publicly, “behind closed doors, the tension between them is insane. Meghan blames Harry for the mess they’re in, and they’re constantly fighting about money and failed projects.”
