Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing renewed speculation about their relationship after a Vanity Fair article claimed a member of Meghan’s team discussed plans for a “post-Harry divorce” book. The allegations have sparked controversy, but a close friend of the couple has called the claims “distressing” and “unfair.”
Speaking to The Daily Beast, the friend, who has a long-standing relationship with Harry, dismissed the allegations as baseless. “The Vanity Fair divorce story seemed very unfair. There was a book, but there wasn’t a book. She was planning for life after divorce, but they are totally in love. What? There was not a shred of evidence,” the source said.
The insider acknowledged that the couple is going through a challenging time but criticized the article for exacerbating their struggles. “Things aren’t easy for them right now. Vanity Fair have succeeded in making a bad time worse,” the friend added.
The article also included claims from former staff members who worked on Meghan’s Archetypes podcast, describing their experiences as “really, really, really awful.” Some employees alleged that they had taken “extended breaks” during their tenure to avoid scrutiny while working with Meghan.
The Sussexes, known for their efforts to maintain privacy while navigating public and media scrutiny, have not publicly commented on the article. However, the latest controversy adds another layer to the ongoing challenges faced by the couple.
The friend’s defense serves as a reminder of the complex narrative surrounding Harry and Meghan’s public and private lives, as well as the intense speculation that continues to follow them.
