Amid fresh rumours of a split and escalating noise of a UK visit by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, a royal expert says the couple have “deeply divided priorities” at the moment.

The pair found themselves the subject of yet more “heading for divorce” headlines after Prince Harry, 41, jetted off on a boys’ skiing trip shortly before Christmas, leaving Meghan at home with the kids in California.

And with the new Home Office review into the reinstatement of state-funded security for Harry and his family while on UK soil reportedly almost wrapped up, and widely predicted to fall in Harry's favour, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams says there may indeed be trouble ahead.

“Harry clearly wants to do more in the UK, and rebuild a relationship with his father, while Meghan is focused on her business.

“I can’t see how Harry would fit into the As Ever lifestyle and cookery world, and Meghan has no affection for Britain, so there's a clear difference there. Harry needs something more substantial in his activities than looking on and waving from behind Meghan.

“They still seem emotionally committed to each other, but the outside noise and goings on around them as a couple is deafening at times.”
