In a surprising turn of events, Prince Harry is reportedly distancing himself from his wife, Meghan Markle, in an attempt to regain favour with the public. Sources close to the Duke of Sussex suggest that the move comes as part of a strategic effort to rebuild his once cherished image, which has faced significant challenges in recent years.
"Deep down, people still love Prince Harry, and they want to love him," remarked a royal expert. "I think they're just very, very disappointed in him." The expert alludes to a shift in public sentiment towards Harry, especially following his and Meghan’s decision to step back from royal duties and their subsequent candid interviews, which have divided opinion both in the UK and globally.
While Prince Harry and Meghan have always presented a united front, speculation has emerged about cracks in their relationship, particularly as they navigate life in the public eye post-royal duties. This supposed distance, however, does not indicate a complete split. Instead, insiders suggest it is more of a rebranding effort by Harry, aimed at reconnecting with the British public and aligning himself once more with the royal family, which many believe he has drifted from.
Royal watchers have noticed that in recent months, Harry has undertaken several solo appearances, raising questions about the couple’s public strategy. His trip to the UK earlier this year for the King's coronation, where he made a brief appearance without Meghan, was widely interpreted as a move to assert his own identity and reconnect with his family.
Meghan, on the other hand, has continued to pursue her own public engagements and media projects in the U.S., leading some to wonder if their individual pursuits are part of a broader strategy or indicative of deeper personal challenges.
Despite ongoing speculation, the couple remains one of the most talked-about pairs in the media. However, Harry's decision to distance himself from Meghan, even temporarily, could be seen as an attempt to repair his standing with the public and restore the reputation that made him one of the most beloved members of the royal family for many years. Whether this strategy will succeed remains to be seen.
Public sentiment towards Harry, as the expert noted, is complex. While many still hold affection for the prince who once served in the military and worked tirelessly for charitable causes, there’s also a growing perception that his relationship with Meghan has alienated him from his royal roots.
