Amidst a wave of high-profile breakups, Meghan Markle has been making headlines, not just for leaving the British royal family but also for reportedly cutting ties with various friends, family members, and supporters along the way. Some have labeled her as “Duchess Difficult,” while others compare her to a modern strategist who drops connections once they’re no longer useful. Now, some insiders suggest that she may be considering one last major split—leaving her husband, Prince Harry.
Rumors about a possible split are growing, with sources close to the couple saying that tensions have reached a breaking point. Markle has already distanced herself from her father, stepped away from the Royal Family through “Megxit,” and ended friendships, such as with Jessica Mulroney. This pattern has led many to wonder who she may part ways with next. Royal experts, including biographer Hugo Vickers, think Prince Harry might be her next “cut.”
For years, Markle’s quick and seemingly firm decisions have created an image of someone who doesn’t hesitate to let go of relationships. Vickers and others argue that she has a habit of ending connections when they no longer serve her. “People often stay true to their character,” Vickers said. “In Meghan’s case, that character seems to involve cutting ties, whether it’s with family, friends, or even the Royal Family.”
There’s also talk that Prince Harry’s influence in their relationship has been waning. Insiders suggest he’s often seen as going along with Markle’s choices while feeling less heard himself. Those close to the couple worry that her next big move might be to end their marriage altogether.
Fueling these rumors, sources hint that if they do separate, Markle might turn to another one of her known strategies: a tell-all interview. With a history of sharing her side of things in the media, experts believe she could use a potential split to tell her version of events, possibly painting herself as the victim and placing any blame on Harry.
“I don’t think she ever admits fault,” Vickers added. “I feel very sorry for Prince Harry. He’s in a very tough spot, worsened by his wife’s highly public projects.” Many believe that, since leaving royal life, Harry has seemed to take a backseat, with Markle often leading the way.
If she does go through with a split, it could mark a significant change in Harry’s life, both publicly and privately. Without royal titles and with limited contact with his family, he might face a very uncertain future, especially if Markle shares their story with the media.
