Meghan’s red carpet appearance in Los Angeles

Meghan smiled and posed with friend Kelly Zajfen as photographers shouted “together ladies” and asked “can we get all the smiles in one photo.”

She wore a modified version of the red Carolina Herrera gown she was seen wearing at the Intrepid Museum Salute to Freedom gala in November 2021.

Meghan told reporters: “The work they do at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is amazing, and I think from my perspective as a mother, no one wants to be in a situation where they have to go to a place like that.

“But if you have to go to the best place in the world to go, it’s Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. I have close friends who still have children there who are in treatment or since high school, and close friends who have children now.”

Speculations about Meghan and Harry’s separation

Speculative stories about the number of engagements Harry has undertaken solo will no doubt cause frustration in the Sussex camp, as in reality they all form part of one two-week trip. He is scheduled to return home this week.

In particular, it was only in August that the couple went on a joint trip to Colombia and were photographed kissing and dancing salsa together, without the slightest trace of division between them.

The source said Newsweek the suggestion that they lead separate lives was untrue and a bit exaggerated.

The rumors in the British press began after the release of the British newspaper Daily Telegraph. published an article titled “Where is Meghan?”, which sparked fury among Meghan’s online fandom.

Much of the coverage has been framed in terms that at first glance seem to talk about a secret divorce, although in fact they focus more on Harry having separate projects for Meghan.

Sun titled: “SEPARATE SUSSEXS: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry lead separate lives – NOT popular, Sunreveals Royal Exclusive Live.”

Arthur Edwards, Sunveteran royal photographer, said: “I think it has problems with popularity in the UK and I think they are doing it separately now. She has her agenda and he has his.”

But Jennie Bond, former BBC royal correspondent, expressed caution during a live event for the paper: “I think it suggests that their business ventures are probably very different and they are very different.

“Again, I come back to the idea that I don’t think we should drive a wedge into their marriage just because they have different commercial or charitable interests.”

Meanwhile, Daily mail he added: “Why Harry is doing it alone: ​​He has barely been seen together with Meghan for weeks.”

And speculation has hit US shores New York Post Office: “‘Desperate’ Harry is serious about repairing his image, and Meghan is not part of the project: “He wants space.”

This isn’t the first time the couple has been exposed to these kinds of rumors, which were also common in the summer of 2023, months after Harry was mocked for his memoir and their deal with Spotify collapsed.

Those doubts and rumors evaporated after Harry and Meghan’s avalanche of PDA during the Invictus Games in Germany in September 2023.
