In contrast, Meghan's absence from the event went largely unnoticed, despite the couple's recent return from a romantic Caribbean vacation. However, tensions marked their return to America. James pointed out that Meghan's body language exhibited a hurried demeanor and a lack of affection in their hand-in-hand pose during the holiday, signaling a significant shift in their dynamics.
This shift prompts important questions. Does Prince Harry's solo appearance signify a silent declaration of liberation from Meghan's perceived influence? All signs seem to point in that direction. While Meghan attends to her children, Archie and Lily, indicating maternal concern, an underlying tension suggests she may be on a mission not aligned with the best interests of their marriage.
The news of their impending divorce coincides with Meghan's absence during crucial moments for Prince Harry, indicating a growing rift. Royal experts note the couple's public distancing, particularly during Prince Harry's promotional tour for his autobiography, where he appeared alone for all interviews.
Royal biographer Katie Nicholl remarked, "I think it was very notable that in the run-up to the launch of his autobiography, he had all the publicity and Meghan was noticeable by her absence." She added, "That was really the first time we've seen a divide between them because up until then they've very much been a partnership. And at this crucial moment where Harry's doing the boldest and possibly bravest thing of his life, she's not there for him." Although there is no concrete evidence, this ongoing separation fuels rumors of an impending split.
