In the midst of their quiet wedding anniversary celebrations, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have found themselves surrounded by swirling rumors questioning the state of their marriage.

The couple marked their fifth year as a married couple on Friday, but without any public acknowledgement, speculation has arisen regarding Prince Harry’s alleged escape place from his wife.

According to The Sun, Prince Harry has a room reserved at a chain in Montecito, near the £12m mansion he shares with Meghan Markle.

Sources have informed the newspaper that Harry occasionally stays at this room without his wife.

Reports of the couple spending nights apart have emerged after they failed to post any photos commemorating their fifth wedding anniversary.

It is also believed that Harry has a second hideaway pad at San Vincente Bungalows, a private members club in Los Angeles, close to where he attends a gym class called Barry’s Boot Camp.

The club is highly exclusive and maintains a strict privacy policy, with guests prohibited from discussing anything that takes place on the premises.

Stickers are placed over their phone cameras upon arrival, and approaching other members indoors is also discouraged.

However, a representative for the Duke has swiftly denied these allegations, stating, “This is not true,” to Page Six.

One expert is now pontificating on what the couple’s backgrounds could mean for their marriage.

Both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle come from broken homes.

Harry’s parents, Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, divorced in the 1990s after an acrimonious marriage filled with claims of infidelity.

Diana’s tell-all interviews have become legendary, and her tragic death in 1997 further added to the turmoil.

Meghan’s parents, Thomas Markle Sr. and Doria Raglan, divorced when she was still in elementary school.

According to Lady Colin Campbell’s book, “Meghan and Harry: The Real Story,” Meghan spent a lot of time dealing with her parents’ differences and relaying communications between them.

Royal expert Angela Levin suggests that their experiences with divorced parents could have a negative impact on their own marriage.

In contrast, Prince William’s wife, Princess Catherine, came from an intact family, which Levin believes has provided her with a strong foundation for a loving and supportive relationship.

Levin explains, “Children of broken homes, especially if the parents’ breakup was unpleasant, often don’t know how a good relationship is supposed to work.

William learned through the Middletons how a loving and supportive family works.

It’s been the bedrock of making Kate loving, calm, and confident.”

She adds that Harry, on the other hand, hasn’t had that parental opportunity, and his background has been one of bitter fighting and incompatibility.

Both he and Meghan come from damaged backgrounds, which may make it challenging for them to help each other and lack experience in how stable, strong, and understanding relationships work.

The couple’s recent events have also shed light on a potential divide between their desires for fame and privacy.

Last week, they claimed to have been involved in a near-catastrophic car chase with aggressive paparazzi in New York.

This incident has raised questions about whether the couple will extend their campaign for privacy to the US.

They may seek to align themselves with other high-profile figures, such as George and Amal Clooney, who attended their London wedding five years ago.

George Clooney, known for advocating privacy rights, previously wrote an open letter after photos of his daughter were published online.

However, there are concerns about how this campaign for privacy aligns with Meghan’s plans to build a global enterprise.

In April, she signed with leading global talent agency WME, sparking talk of content creation, a Dior clothing deal, and the revival of her defunct lifestyle blog, The Tig.

With this potential conflict, it is no surprise that the couple has been seen as separate figures lately.

Harry traveled alone to a coronation on May 6th, leaving Meghan and their two children, Archie, who turned four that day, and Lilibet, who will turn two next month, in Montecito.

As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle navigate their fifth year of marriage, their backgrounds and recent events seem to have created a divide between them.

While Meghan looks forward, Harry appears to dwell in the past.
