Meghan Markle and Prince Harry faced renewed marriage chatter after old flirty exchanges of the Duke of Sussex resurfaced. A source claimed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were already under pressure in Montecito. The Sussex couple married in 2018 after meeting in 2016, then stepped back from royal duties in 2020. Now, the Charlotte Griffiths messages have reportedly reopened trust questions around Harry’s past.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s marriage facing ‘noticeable build-up of pressure,’ per source
As per an OK! Magazine report Prince Harry’s old exchanges with British reporter Charlotte Griffiths happened between December 2011 and January 2012. The report said Griffiths called him “Mr Mischief,” while Harry referred to “movie snuggles” and called her “sugar.” However, the Duke told a court he ended contact after learning she was a journalist, saying, “That was that.”
Meanwhile, a source claimed the Charlotte Griffiths messages added pressure to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s marriage talk. The insider said, “There has been a noticeable build-up of pressure between Harry and Meghan for quite some time.” The source added that the messages came long before Meghan Markle was involved. Still, they claimed the “tone and level of familiarity Prince Harry showed” was “difficult to ignore.”
The same report also pointed to wider strain around public life, money, and family roles. One insider said old issues could “gradually erode trust,” mostly because of “how it is perceived.” Another source said both were “highly independent, strong-minded individuals” with different outlooks. In addition, the report claimed Meghan was more direct, while Prince Harry was “far more guarded.” That contrast reportedly caused crossed wires during high-pressure moments.
For added context, a report claimed Meghan was facing trust concerns after the old messages resurfaced. It also said representatives for the couple had denied parts of that story. Still, the chatter came as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s headlines kept focusing on parenting, public image, and royal family ties. For now, sources claimed they remained “committed to working through their issues,” even as the renewed attention kept the Charlotte Griffiths messages in the spotlight.
