Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s marriage has been all over the newspapers of late, and not necessarily for reasons to do with what they actually want to do with their lives, what projects they may be involved in, or questions close to their hearts.
No, the couple’s lives were made tricky following their royal exit – helped in no small part by their leveling a number of accusations at the Royal Family – and some of their decisions regarding their children, Archie and Lilibet, have prompted even bigger media storms.
In amidst all of this, there are Harry and Meghan themselves. The way their marriage has played out must be taking its toll on the pair, and the fact that Harry appears to want to return to the UK, but Meghan outright refuses, is just the latest in a string of reported issues.
New reports even suggest that Harry and Meghan may be planning for ‘separate’ projects and lives, which of course is hardly ideal. As such, the question can now be posed: has Harry been robbed of the wonderful life he and Meghan were supposed to live?
If you ask me, perhaps the best thing for him is simply to get a divorce – and return to where he feels most at home.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle planned for an entirely new life in the US, far away from the paparazzi press that plagued them in Britain. It’s safe to say that they were successful in escaping the flashing cameras, but the Sussexes have remained very much regular fixtures in newspaper headlines.
Why Prince Harry should divorce Meghan Markle
Their children, Prince Archie and Princess Liibet were supposed to be handed a life outside of the spotlight, but even they have been dragged into newspaper discussions, especially after Harry and Meghan pushed for them to get their official royal titles.
Harry and Meghan have ventured into many different business ideas, but not all of them have proven successful. Meghan has recently created her own lifestyle brand, while Harry has other ideas. In the meantime, a new reports suggests that Harry and Meghan have a plot to live ‘separate lives’ and are even planning to that end.
Is that really the way forward for the Sussexes in order to create a long-lasting, calm environment for their children will grow up in? Sure, family is the most important thing, and something I don’t think they will neglect to prioritize, but in the end, the couple appear to want different things.
Harry is rumored to miss the UK and possibly even royal life. So should he and Meghan stay together for the sake of it? No, Harry, it might be time to swallow your pride, give up on the US adventure, seek a divorce, and start over.
“He isn’t his own person anymore”
The Sussexes’ excessive media scrutiny – and the backlash that has come with it – could make Harry’s life and mental health even worse. Separating and ending the marriage may give him relief in this respect, and hopefully make it easier to raise his beloved children into decent people, whether that be as working royals or not.
Meanwhile, it’s obvious that Harry and Meghan’s marriage has destroyed almost every scrap of a relationship they had with the royals, and a divorce would almost certainly help Harry rebuild the trust and bond with his UK family (if that’s something he desires).
Ultimately, that would also help his children form relationships with the monarchy, relationships that will surely be crucial when they grow up.
Prince Harry has become a part of the “Sussex’s brand,” and as of today, it almost feels as if he isn’t his own person anymore. After leaving the monarchy in favor of living on Meghan’s “turf,” the question is if he ever will get to be his own person, or always remain “that prince” from across the pond.
Not only that, but Harry has always been a big advocate in helping others through his philanthropic work, which seems to have slowed down plenty since he married Meghan.
Prince Harry – a “Spare” for the rest of his life?
Now, it goes without saying that no one wants to see a divorce. But in the end, perhaps Harry moving on could open many new possibilities and career paths for him. The situation is truly complicated as it is, but it would be an opportunity for the prince to finally show the world who he really is.
Prince Harry was a beloved member of the Royal Family, but his new life has practically destroyed all he fought for. He thought of himself as the “Spare” growing up, and by all accounts still does.
But if the marriage with Meghan Markle continues, he risks becoming another kind of “Spare” for the rest of his life.
