Prince Harry spends night of his 40th birthday without Meghan Markle amid rumors of living separate lives
MONTECITO, CALIFORNIA: Prince Harry reportedly spent the night of his 40th birthday alone, hiking with his friends, amid the rumors of living “separate lives” from his wife Meghan Markle.
Lately, the rumors of a brewing divorce between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been rampant on the internet since the duo made a couple of solo engagements in the last few days.
Per Daily Mail, the British prince reportedly spent the night of his milestone birthday hiking with his friends. Moreover, Harry also didn’t mention his wife’s name in his gratitude message on his birthday.

The rumors of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle came to the fore after the British royal made ten solo appearances in the last 15 days, including his trips to London, New York, and Lesotho.
Nevertheless, sources close to the Sussexes spilled that it was the duchess who arranged the hiking trip for Harry and his friends. The sources further dished that Meghan did not attend a recent charity event with Harry, citing she was “sick.”
Per the outlet, it was claimed last year that the Sussexes were spending spells of time apart from each other. However, those claims were dismissed by their close ones.
Further reports claimed that Meghan was growing frustrated with Harry's court cases in the UK regarding security. Additionally, the couple allegedly clashed over how to raise their children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.

Amid the speculations, a source spilled to Radar Online that Harry and Meghan are reportedly leading “separate lives” and they have a plan for such an arrangement.
"They have been drifting apart for a while, with Harry's desire to return to the UK where his old drinking buddies are and his hope to return to the very comfortable fold of the Royal Family putting a real strain on their marriage,” shared the source.
They further claimed that Harry no longer harbors favorable opinions about their Hollywood dreams, saying, "He's hated their bids for stardom with Netflix and Spotify getting pulled and them ending up ridiculed, and he's starting to miss England.”
"He used to love going to the pub and playing sport with his pals, and the life Meghan wants to lead in LA couldn't be further away from that – and would seem alien to any blue-blooded English man, as it's all about juicing and yoga,” claimed the source.
They added, "His plans to pursue his own activities and tours away from Meghan is the first sign they are effectively on a 'trial separation' while they work this out."
Another insider recently suggested that the Sussexes have taken a different professional approach and have gone into separate paths about their interests.
The source shared with People, "The Duke and Duchess have now hit their stride as individuals - not just as a couple. The Duke appears focused on his patronage work, and the Duchess focused on her entrepreneurial track."
