“Harry Wants Space”: Prince’s Solo Trips Spark Rumors of Distance from Meghan Markle

Prince Harry’s recent solo trips to New York, the UK, and South Africa, without his wife Meghan Markle and their children, Archie and Lilibet, have sparked speculation that the couple may be “drifting apart.” The absence of Meghan on these occasions has fueled fears that Harry and Meghan are leading “separate lives.”

Amid these growing concerns, an insider has claimed that Harry “wants space” and is eager to be seen as a more serious figure on the global stage. The source revealed, “This definitely feels like he is upping his game to cement his position as a serious player on the international stage. He’s always been desperate to be taken seriously and people I know say his fall from grace will really have got to him.”

According to the Daily Mail, per The Mirror, this new “solo Harry” may be part of an effort to carve out his own identity, separate from his public image alongside Meghan. The insider noted, “It is the new ‘solo Harry’ who ‘wants space.’” This shift has raised questions about the dynamics of their relationship, especially as the couple has often appeared together at public events since relocating to the United States in 2020.

Harry’s desire for personal and professional space seems to have contributed to his solo ventures. As the insider explained, “He’s always been desperate to be taken seriously.” This could point to the prince’s efforts to step out of the shadow of his royal past and Meghan’s influence to establish himself as a standalone figure.

Since moving to the U.S. and stepping down from royal duties, Harry and Meghan have worked on numerous projects together, including their Netflix docuseries and other philanthropic ventures. However, some interpret Harry’s recent independent travels as a signal of change in their relationship dynamics. Typically, the couple has attended official functions as a united front, so Harry’s solo appearances have stood out and triggered conversations about their personal lives.

While rumors about the couple’s status swirl, no official statements have been made to confirm or deny the speculations. For now, Prince Harry’s desire to “cement his position” on the world stage continues to drive attention, both to his individual efforts and to the evolving nature of his high-profile marriage.
