Friend Slams Rumors of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Divorce: ‘They’re Totally in Love’

Rumors of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s alleged marital troubles have been dismissed by a mutual friend of the royal brothers, who remains close to both Harry and Prince William despite their fallout.

The friend, speaking to The Daily Beast, criticized Vanity Fair’s recent cover story, which speculated about Meghan’s planning for life post-divorce. “The Vanity Fair divorce story seemed very unfair,” the friend said, addressing the article’s claims.

The Vanity Fair piece, written by Anne Peele, mentioned rumors that Meghan’s team had approached a publishing house to gauge interest in a potential book about her life after a hypothetical divorce. However, the friend countered, “There was a book, but there wasn’t a book. She was planning for life after the divorce, but they are totally in love.

What? There was not a shred of evidence.” The friend also pointed out the timing of the story, saying, “Things aren’t easy for them right now. Vanity Fair has succeeded in making a bad time worse.” This comment referred to the scrutiny Meghan is facing over her postponed cooking show and the aid work she and Harry are doing for victims of California wildfires.

In her article, Peele clarified that no formal offer for the alleged book was made and no manuscript was ever written. She explained the rumor stemmed from casual inquiries about whether a publisher might theoretically be interested in a book exploring a post-divorce narrative. Despite this, the story fueled speculation about Harry and Meghan’s relationship.

Adding to the confusion, another section of the article painted a very different picture of the couple’s dynamic. A former co-worker of Meghan’s was quoted as saying that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain deeply in love. “Everyone” feels they are “so hot for each other,” the source said, adding, “You know how you meet those couples where you’re like, the way they’re looking at each other, I should probably not be here right now?”

The conflicting narratives in the Vanity Fair story have sparked debate, with Meghan and Harry’s friend firmly standing by the couple’s bond. While the Sussexes have faced significant public scrutiny, those close to them maintain that their relationship remains strong despite ongoing challenges.
