Couple Faces Criticism Amid Individual and Joint Endeavours
Meghan Markle and Harry, parents to Archie and Lilibet, continue to navigate public scrutiny as they focus on family life and upcoming holiday celebrations in California. A source close to the couple revealed that they remain united despite persistent media criticism of their choices.
“They’re a married couple in a normal relationship,” the source told Page Six. “You don’t do every single thing together, especially when raising young children.”
The couple’s approach to balancing individual passions with collaborative projects has drawn mixed reactions. While Harry receives accolades for his solo engagements, Meghan often faces criticism over her comments, appearance, and professional pursuits.
The source explained that their division of responsibilities is practical, especially when attending events aligned with their personal interests, such as Harry’s patronages or Meghan’s advocacy for women’s causes. Despite this separation, their joint efforts, such as their Archewell Foundation initiatives, continue to receive praise for their impact.
Their latest project, Polo, set to release on Netflix on December 10, showcases what the source describes as “appropriate overlap” in their collaborative work. Similarly, their recent trip to Colombia highlighted their shared dedication to their foundation’s goals.
However, Meghan reportedly finds the relentless media speculation about their marriage emotionally taxing, particularly the comparisons and public perceptions. A source noted, “She feels the strain of constant scrutiny, which brings back hurtful memories of her time as a royal.”
As the couple navigates their unique path, their focus remains on creating a meaningful impact while balancing the demands of family life and public roles.
