James further added, “From a PR perspective, the Sussexes as a pair are toxic. Separately, however, they have an opportunity to rebuild distinct identities under entirely new labels.”

While this savvy business move makes sense from a PR standpoint, it has fueled rumors about the state of the couple’s relationship.

An insider told GB News that Harry and Meghan remain solid as a couple, though Markle finds the ongoing speculation exhausting.

“She’s really felt the pressure in recent weeks with all the rumors about her and Harry’s marriage,” the source revealed. “They’ve fueled some of this by attending separate events, but this decision works for them right now. It allows them to shine individually in areas they are passionate about.”

Meanwhile, this speculation coincides with a royal expert’s claim that Meghan has a personal memoir “in her back pocket” that she could potentially use as leverage if needed.

Earlier this year, reports suggested the Duchess was considering writing a tell-all book, shedding more light on the mental health challenges she experienced during her time with the Royal Family.

While there hasn’t been any confirmation, royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes this project could serve as a future advantage for Meghan.

“It’s been more than two years since her interview, and she’s stayed away from creating further controversy about the Royal Family,” Bond told OK! Magazine. “Still, the journal she mentioned could become a powerful tool if she ever feels the need for retribution.”
