LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Amid swirling rumors of a professional ‘divorce’ between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex has issued an emotional statement highlighting her latest philanthropic efforts.

At the Southern California Welcome Project event, Meghan Markle underscored her commitment to a shared vision. The project, in partnership with Mina’s List, focuses on creating safe spaces and promoting storytelling for women resettled from Afghanistan to the US.

Meghan shared: “This initiative, led by partner organization Mina’s List, has spent the past year building community through storytelling and creating a safe space for women who have settled in the US from Afghanistan.”

Meghan described the evening as one that focused on “gratitude and resilience,” with a communal meal that encouraged open conversations among attendees. The statement falls in line with claims that the Sussexes’ separate professional paths are a conscious choice to reflect their passions, rather than a sign of disagreement.

She continued, “The evening included a shared meal that encouraged open conversation centered on gratitude and resilience.”

Founded in 2020, the Archewell Foundation continues to serve as a cornerstone of the couple’s shared efforts, with upcoming projects aimed at driving positive global change.

Reports of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry pursuing separate professional ventures have fueled speculation about the couple’s dynamic. In recent months they have both attended individual events, with Meghan celebrating the launch of her friend Kadi Lee’s hair care brand in Los Angeles, while Harry promoted the Invictus Games at a football event in Vancouver.

Their differing schedules raised questions from fans about why they were rarely seen together since returning from Colombia in August.

Despite this, sources close to the couple claim their marriage remains strong. “Harry and Meghan have consistently pursued solo ventures based on their individual interests,” a royal insider told Hello! “But they remain deeply committed to their collective efforts through Archewell.”

The Royal source concluded: “Together they have exciting projects in the pipeline, all furthering their shared mission for positive global impact.”

Recent comments from Meghan Markle about her independent work in addition to her shared efforts with Prince Harry have sparked a lively discussion on Facebook. While some praised the couple’s professional independence, others speculated about the impact on their relationship.

‘Leave them alone. I hope they can save their marriage, but if not, it’s nobody’s business but theirs,” one person said.

Another added: “They are not divorced. They just have different careers. Sheesh. Leave these people alone. I’m not even a fan, but I think people should leave them alone.

“Another loving, inseparable couple breaking up due to external conflicts. Sad ending,” one user complained.

Another speculated: “I’m about 1,000 percent sure some people are advocating for them to break up.”

“Basically they are currently working on separate projects. Big news,” one user joked.

Meghan’s final remarks, delivered at her Southern California Welcome Project event, highlighted her focus on supporting Afghan women in the US, reinforcing the couple’s ongoing commitment to global impact.

Yet public fascination with the Sussexes shows no signs of slowing, with one user confidently predicting: “Harry will be king. He’s not for her.”
