Meghan and Harry Latest: What’s Happening Now? (2025 News)

Few couples attract as much attention for doing things apart as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. In 2025, the narrative around the Sussexes has shifted from joint appearances to separate professional tracks, raising questions about their future as a duo and a brand.

What’s happening with Harry and Meghan now?

What are the latest solo trips?

• Harry is scheduled for a solo trip to the UK in May 2025 for Invictus Games-related events, according to New York Post reporting.
• Meghan made a solo trip to Paris Fashion Week in October 2025, which Yahoo Entertainment reported as triggering speculation that the couple was “not on the same page.”
• A planned Meghan hospital visit in the UK was reported by The Telegraph, though the date remains unconfirmed.

What projects are they working on?

• Meghan launched her lifestyle brand As Ever in 2025, alongside a Netflix series With Love, Meghan and the podcast Confessions of a Female Founder, as covered by InStyle.
• Harry continues his work with the Invictus Games and appeared briefly in Meghan’s holiday special, per OK! Magazine.
• Both remain involved in the Archewell Foundation, co-founded in 2020.

The implication: solo trips and separate projects are not evidence of a split, but they do reshape the public perception of the Sussexes as a joint enterprise. For a couple whose brand was built on “we,” the shift toward “I” carries commercial and reputational weight.

What is Meghan’s diagnosis?

Has Meghan spoken about her mental health?

Meghan disclosed experiencing suicidal thoughts during her 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview. She said she felt “really scared” and that the institution was “perpetuating a falsehood” about her. BBC News reported the interview as a landmark moment in royal mental health discourse.

What did she say in the Oprah interview?

• She said she had suicidal thoughts while pregnant with Archie.
• She said she sought help from HR but was told it wouldn’t be “good for the institution.”
• No formal clinical diagnosis was ever shared or confirmed.

The Telegraph later reported on Meghan’s earlier mental health struggles during her teenage years, but again without a specific diagnosis label.

What this means: the public conversation about Meghan’s mental health is driven by a single, powerful firsthand account—not by clinical records. That leaves ample room for interpretation and, in some corners, misinformation.

Why was Meghan’s name removed from Archie’s birth certificate?

When was the change made?

The change occurred in June 2022. Meghan’s name was replaced with “Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex” on the birth certificate of Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. BBC News first reported the alteration.

What was the reason?

• The change was linked to updated royal titles following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
• Royal protocol allows parents to use their formal titles on children’s birth certificates.
• It was not a personal removal but a formal updating of naming conventions, per The Telegraph.

The administrative update, though routine, sparked controversy.

The trade-off: what looks like a snub to tabloid readers is, by royal standards, a routine administrative update. The narrative gap between “Meghan removed” and “titles formalized” shows how easily protocol becomes controversy.

Are Meghan and Harry living separate lives?

Do they live in different houses?

Multiple sources confirm the couple still shares their main residence in Montecito, California. OK! Magazine noted the Sussexes “left royal life in 2020 to pursue business endeavors in Montecito,” where they remain.

How often do they appear together?

• Public joint appearances have declined since the Queen’s funeral in September 2022.
• Meghan attended the 2025 Paris Fashion Week solo, which Elle framed as “healthy” separate professional spheres.
• Harry made a cameo in Meghan’s Netflix holiday special, indicating continued collaboration.

The pattern: the evidence points to strategic professional independence, not marital trouble. For a couple whose brand synergy was their superpower, this is a calculated risk: more individual reach, less joint leverage.

What does King Charles call Meghan?

What nickname has been reported?

Reports suggest King Charles III reportedly refers to Meghan as “Darling.” The claim circulated widely in UK tabloids but has never been confirmed by palace sources.

Is it affectionate?

• No official statement from Buckingham Palace has addressed the nickname.
• The context of the relationship remains strained, particularly after Harry’s memoir Spare and the couple’s various media interviews.
• BBC News has reported on the broader family tensions but not the nickname specifically.

The implication: this is a minor tabloid curiosity, not a documented fact. It carries weight only as a signal of how every interpersonal detail between the Sussexes and the royals becomes public speculation.

What the experts are saying

“It’s healthy for them to have separate spheres, identities, and passion projects.”

Elle magazine, summarizing a Us Weekly source

“The couple would be professionally divided going forward.”

Elle magazine, late October 2025

“Insiders interpreted Meghan’s Paris trip as evidence the couple was not on the same page.”

Yahoo Entertainment, citing anonymous sources

“2025 was significant for Meghan because of her return to Instagram, the launch of As Ever, her Netflix series, and her podcast.”

InStyle, December 2025

Overall, the public narrative around Meghan and Harry in 2025 is dominated by a single theme: professional independence. The evidence for a personal split is thin and comes primarily from anonymous entertainment sources. The couple continues to co-parent, co-reside, and co-own their foundation. For readers tracking the Sussexes, the choice is clear: believe the anonymous insiders, or trust the observable facts — shared home, shared children, diverging schedules but not divorce papers.
