Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly facing internal tensions, with royal experts suggesting the couple is “at war with themselves” as they embark on separate solo engagements. For nearly three weeks, the Duke of Sussex has been traveling to New York City, the UK, and Africa, while the Duchess of Sussex has remained in California with their children.
Following Harry’s international commitments, Meghan stepped out alone to attend the LA Children’s Hospital charity gala, where she donned a recycled red Carolina Herrera gown. The couple’s separate appearances have sparked discussions among royal commentators about the state of their professional and personal dynamics.
On TalkTV, host Kevin O’Sullivan spoke with royal commentator Kinsey Schofield, claiming that the couple appears to be competing with each other. “I think professionally they are now at war with themselves. She’s trying to upstage him, he’s trying to upstage her, so it goes from bad to worse,” he asserted.
Kinsey Schofield echoed this sentiment, adding, “It’s almost an act of desperation. I understand what you’re talking about when you say it’s almost like they’re not in sync.” She suggested that the couple’s recent solo engagements might be a sign of deeper issues within their partnership, with both appearing to make their mark independently.
While the couple continues to draw attention through their individual activities, the reports of them being out of sync and competing professionally raise questions about the future of their united front. As they navigate their paths outside the royal family, observers speculate whether their differing pursuits will bring them closer together or create further distance.
