'It's Not a Good Sign': Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Increased Solo Appearances Show 'How Far Their Star Has Fallen'

Non-royal stardom for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is "officially on life support" as the beleaguered duo continue to work separately. With the Duke of Sussex busy promoting the 2025 Invictus Games in Vancouver, Canada, and his Duchess appearing at a promotion for a hair product, the royal rebels' star has reportedly "fallen."

This led journalist Charlotte Griffiths to observe, "That really shocked me because I thought, this is a woman who, at least in her own mind and for quite a long time, was an A-list global worldwide celebrity and here she was at a hair product launch."

She added, "The event was hosted by one of her friends so perhaps she was just being nice to her friend, but I still thought why aren't they together especially at the Invictus event because I know that she's really supportive of Invictus and it's just a bit beneath her, to be honest, sorry to be rude. This just shows how far their star has fallen though, he's getting a tattoo on the telly and she's at a hair care launch. I mean it's not a good sign."

The former working royals have been married for over six years, and during the public whirlwind that is their marriage, Harry "has changed from a jolly ex-soldier to a beaten, submissive shadow of his former self," according to a royal insider.

In fact, Montecito and Hollywood sources say the new "professional separation" style is Harry's "own idea," which has some Sussex supporters worried the Duke may be ready "to move on."

When Meghan walked the red carpet solo in a "revolting" red dress at the Children's Hospital L.A. Gala on October 5, "she looked totally defeated and like she had all the motivation knocked out of her," a Hollywood insider dished.

They added, "She looked almost as if she knew she was losing her grip on her husband, who has been so paramount to her plans all along I feel."

Royal historian Hugo Vickers dished, "We've seen Prince Harry make several appearances without Meghan recently. Of course, it's what he does terribly well when he's doing things with football, Invictus games and sport. He's much better at that frankly than when he's sort of talking what I might call California speak, which seems to have been dictated to him by Meghan."

He added, "So I commend every time he appears, I must say, and I'm sure he's very popular."

As for the ex-actress, Vickers observed, "I do think that when they're together she seems to be the one who's sort of moving the dialogue on. She seems to be the one with the voice and he seems to be sort of meekly following in her wake. And you know he may not like that so much."

Furthermore, the fiery-haired Duke's life in California is apparently "not what he truly wants" as the wayward prince is reportedly trying to avoid the urge to "move back to Britain."
