Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Deny Separation Rumors

Amidst much separation speculation, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have denied any notion of splitting up.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are setting the record straight — Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are not separated.

The clarification comes after RadarOnline reported that the couple was "taking time apart" with a source claiming that Harry is "trying to find himself" and that he "doesn't fit in Meghan's tacky Tinseltown world."

However, a source close to the couple confirmed to Page Six that Markle and Prince Harry are not separated, calling the accusation "literally made up."

From the bad press the two have received since stepping down from their royal duties to their Harry & Meghan tell-all Netflix docuseries (which was recently nominated for a Hollywood Critics' Award) to Prince Harry's explosive memoir Spare, the couple has had quite the rocky run with the media, which has been interpreted as undergoing trouble in paradise. Another alleged factor that contributed to their now-denied separation status is the collapse of their $20 million Spotify deal, as Markle was accused of "not being a great audio talent" by a Spotify executive.

Meanwhile, an anonymous source sent a tip to gossip site Deuxmoi claiming that Markle and Prince Harry “sold their mansion in Montecito” and that Harry was “living in another place." While this has not been confirmed, RadarOnline's source alleged that "taking time apart...will hopefully help them find whatever they need to move on."

On top of denying separation rumors, the future of Markle and Prince Harry's future with Netflix has been thrown into question. Prince Harry has an upcoming project in the works following his humanitarian efforts in South Africa, however, per a source that spoke to the Daily Mail, progress has been "tough" due to the WGA and SAG strikes.

With over 160,000 SAG union members, nearly every film and TV show that works with major Hollywood studios has been halted for the foreseeable future.
