Meghan Markle has issued a pointed reminder to everyone – including Prince Harry – that she remains very much her own woman. But one royal watcher has believed the couple are heading in different directions. The Duchess made a solo appearance at a screening of Cookie Queens, the Girl Scouts documentary she executive-produced, and was spotted without her engagement ring.
Deliberate Omission
Royal insiders claim the omission was deliberate, with one telling Closer magazine she is “too media savvy to accidentally step out without her ring”. The source added it was “almost like she’s reminding everyone, including Harry, that she’s still the independent, self-assured, driven woman he fell in love with”.
Separate Schedules
Speculation continues about the couple’s increasingly separate schedules, with Meghan handling Netflix talks and LA meetings while Harry focuses on charity work and mending fences with his father. Though they still share meals and family time, the days are said to pass quickly as the pair are pulled in different directions.
