Prince Harry, wife Meghan make video appearance amid rumours of rift

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have made their first public appearance in weeks amid rumours of rift, smiling and congratulating the young winners of their new technology grant.

In a video posted on the official website of Harry and Meghan’s non-profit organisation, the two are sitting together at their home in Montecito, California. Meghan wore a beige turtleneck dress with gold earrings, while Harry was seen in a classic white shirt and chinos. The couple made surprise calls to the people who have received grants from their organisation, The Archewell Foundation.

The video came as sources close to the couple insisted they were "fine" despite being "fed up" of the rumour mill and remained determined to make a success of their life in America, according to Mail Online. But sources close to the couple said they were becoming increasingly tired with the ongoing speculation swirling around them, the report added.

Recently, Radar.online reported that Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who married in a lavish 2018 Windsor ceremony, were “taking time apart” to rebuild their relationship that had been “under stress”. And a viral tweet by commentator Ada Lluch claimed Meghan “even filed divorce papers demanding $80 million” along with the total custody of her children with Prince Harry — Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 2.

Harry and Meghan have been keeping a low profile amid their separation rumours. “They go on hikes with the dogs, work out together and [hang out] in the garden with the kids,” the US Weekly magazine reported.
