Prince Harry, Meghan Markle prove critics wrong with key move

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle proved their critics wrong as the couple maintains a strong, "normal relationship" despite pursuing solo engagements.

According to a recent report, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex "work as a unit" on joint projects, such as their latest Netflix release, Polo, while also pursuing individual philanthropic efforts.

Speaking with Page Six, a Royal insider has revealed that Harry and Meghan took a practical decision to divide their time between family responsibilities and separate engagements.

The insider told the publication that the “rebellious” Royals "are going to be criticised no matter what."

"When they're together, there's headlines that Meghan is too controlling or trying to be the star of the show,” they added.

The insider continued: "The Duke and Duchess are a married couple and in a normal relationship, you don't do every single thing together.”

"They also have to raise a five and a three-year-old and somebody has to remain in California while the other person is out of state.

"It also wouldn't make sense for Meghan to be the focal point for Harry's patronages, and the same goes for Meghan's philanthropic efforts, for example if it's something to do with women, which is near and dear to her heart.

"For example when they went to Columbia to further the work of their foundation, then you see them work as a unit," they concluded.
