Just In: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry divorce rumours quashed by royal expert for simple reason….See More

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been forced to deal with their fair share of speculation over the years – but one expert has said that the couple are still ‘very much in love’

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are “very much in love and in harmony”, according to a royal expert. Over the years, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been forced to navigate speculation over their relationship and recently speculation grew as they made more solo public appearances, while a piece speculated on allegations that Meghan had been approached to write a “post-divorce” book.

However, speaking to OK! Jennie Bond, the former BBC royal correspondent, revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s recent cosy outing at the Invictus Games in Canada proved any critics wrong. “I have seen absolutely no evidence that they are unhappy with one another. Indeed they have always seemed very much in love and in harmony,” she said.

Jennie also pointed out that other royals aren’t subjected to the same scrutiny despite having individual commitments. She added: “We never question the marriage status of Edward and Sophie, or Anne and Tim, or indeed Charles and Camilla when they pursue their different engagements and focus on separate interests. So why do we do it with Harry and Meghan?”

Throughout the Invictus Games, Meghan and Harry were the epitome of joy, with Meghan even lavishing praise on her husband in a spontaneous tribute at the opening event. “At the Invictus Games I saw a couple very much united in celebrating a hugely worthwhile achievement. The many stories we heard, and which Harry and Meghan listened to, proved that the Games have made a massive difference to servicemen and women injured or scarred by their military experiences,” Jennie said, reports the Mirror.

“I saw a wife who was justifiably proud of what her husband had helped create. And I saw a husband who was hugely grateful for his partner’s support.”

Since being first spotted with Prince Harry at the 2017 Toronto games, Meghan has been a steadfast presence at every Invictus Games thereafter.

Yet, with their little ones – Prince Archie, aged five, and Princess Lilibet, three – back in California, Meghan made an early exit from the competition to reunite with them. “Quite understandably, they felt their children shouldn’t be left without them for too long. Toddlers miss their parents, and especially their mum,” Jennie noted.

Thus, it was a perfectly sensible decision for Meghan to head back to California as planned after several action-packed days at the Games, leaving Harry to cheer on the competitors until the closing moments. Despite her departure mid-Games, the Duchess of Sussex didn’t waver in her support for her husband.

On the most romantic day of the year, the mother-of-two took to Instagram to post a heartwarming black and white image of her and husband Harry sharing a tender embrace. “Back home taking care of our babies, and missing my Valentine, as he continues on at the Invictus Games, changing lives and reminding all of us of the power of healing and resilience through these incredible veterans and their families. Beyond proud of my husband and what he’s created,” read her loving caption.

She topped off the tribute with: “My love, I will eat burgers and fries and fish and chips with you forever. Thank you for you. #lovewins.”
