The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have been generating buzz recently due to their apparent “professional separation.” This term has been circulating, especially after Markle made a solo appearance at a Thanksgiving-related dinner, while Harry spent time in Vancouver attending Invictus Games events. Their absence from the public eye together for more than a month has fueled speculation about the state of their relationship. Royal biographer Angela Levin even weighed in, suggesting the couple may be facing visa issues, which could impact their ability to stay in the U.S.
During her solo appearance, Markle hosted a dinner for the Southern California Welcome Project, an organization supporting Afghan women. While she expressed appreciation for the event, Harry’s absence raised eyebrows. This came after the couple’s most recent joint appearance, which involved a video discussing the safety of children. In the video, Harry acknowledged they were at a “crossroads,” hinting at a reassessment of their joint charitable efforts.
Despite the rumors swirling around them, Markle seems focused on keeping things low-key, particularly during the holidays. In a recent interview with Marie Claire, she shared that her Thanksgiving plans would be “low-key” and centered around family. She mentioned enjoying time with her mother, Doria Ragland, and having a cozy holiday with her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Markle also hinted that famous guests might join the gathering, as she has had high-profile friends like Gloria Steinem attend in the past.
While the couple is clearly navigating challenges, it seems that their Thanksgiving plans might serve as a moment for quiet reflection and family bonding, far from the spotlight.
