Meghan Markle is working hard to control the narrative surrounding her personal life and public image, according to a leading royal expert. Amid growing speculation about the state of her marriage to Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex is said to be determined to set the record straight and reassert her strength and independence.
Royal commentator Jennie Bond told The Mirror that Meghan is keenly aware of the ongoing rumours, particularly those circulating in the UK, that suggest Prince Harry is unhappy in their marriage. “I think Meghan is a fighter,” Bond stated. “She will be aware that some people, particularly in the UK, believe rumours that Harry is unhappy, and she’s determined to show that they have a strong marriage and a happy family life.”

Bond added that Meghan’s efforts appear to be aimed at demonstrating not only marital stability but also her own growth and achievements outside of the royal sphere. “I hope that’s true, and there’s no reason to disbelieve her,” she said. “I think she’s also determined to show that she is a strong character and, from relatively humble beginnings, she has become a successful actress, and now an influencer and entrepreneur.”
The Duchess of Sussex has certainly kept busy in recent months. She launched her lifestyle brand, As Ever, in April, and continues to make headlines with her ventures into media, wellness, and business. Her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, has further cemented her image as a modern royal embracing a new kind of influence.
According to Bond, Meghan is eager to be seen as more than just a former royal or Prince Harry’s wife. “I think she’s anxious to be seen as a successful businesswoman in her own right – and not just because she has lived briefly inside the palace walls and has a royal title,” she explained.
While Meghan and Harry have both been vocal about the challenges they faced as senior royals, their post-palace life in California has been marked by attempts to carve out their own identities and careers. Yet, public curiosity—and scrutiny—has hardly waned.
As the couple continues to navigate fame, family, and entrepreneurship, Meghan appears committed to showing the world that she is not only thriving but also in control of her own story. Whether it’s fending off tabloid rumours or building her brand, the Duchess seems intent on shaping how she is remembered—on her own terms.
