Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are spending more time apart, at least publicly, MailOnline can reveal today.
The Sussexes have entered a new phase in their pseudo-royal lives and are increasing the number of solo appearances they make.
And an exclusive new MailOnline interactive timeline today reveals that the year started this way and the trend has accelerated since the summer.
2024 began with a solo engagement as Harry picked up an award for his work as a pilot at the annual ‘Living Legends of Aviation’ gala hosted by John Travolta. Apparently, Meghan was home because Archie or Lilibet was sick.
There have been joint tours to Jamaica and Nigeria, as well as a joint visit to Canada to promote the upcoming Invictus Games in Vancouver and Whistler. But in the seven weeks since their four-day visit to Colombia in mid-August, the Sussexes have held no fewer than 11 separate engagements.
It emerged today that a friend of the couple said the trend is part of a new ‘two-track approach’ to events that will see them do more solos to highlight their personal passions and good causes, which is apparently already ‘worth the money’. grief’. .
But another source said today that the public should read nothing into it, insisting that any claims that they live separate lives are “false and a bit exaggerated.”
More recently, Prince Harry has been away from home for a fortnight on a pseudo-royal tour to New York, London and South Africa with his wife and children in Montecito. And Meghan was at a glitzy gala at a children’s hospital in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
Even before the Duke of Sussex traveled to three continents in two weeks, Harry made more regular visits to the UK – but never with his wife amid a dispute over security in Britain since Megxit and claims he may never visit your husband’s country of origin. again.
Earlier this year, the royal flew to the United Kingdom to see her father, King Charles III, after the monarch was diagnosed with cancer. He also visited the country to attend an event to celebrate a decade of the Invictus Games and the recent funeral of his mother’s brother-in-law, Lord Robert Fellowes.
There was also a boys trip with their best friend Nacho Figueras to Asia in August to raise money for good causes through polo matches. Harry also appeared alone in Las Vegas.
