Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have pushed back against what they describe as “distressing” allegations published in a recent Vanity Fair article.

The piece, which delved into the couple’s post-royal life in California, has sparked controversy with claims that Harry and Meghan are facing challenges both professionally and personally.

In a statement released by their spokesperson, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex denied the accusations,

emphasizing their ongoing commitment to their charitable and professional endeavors.

“The narrative presented is not only inaccurate but also damaging,” the statement read. “Harry and Meghan remain focused on their family and the meaningful work of their foundation, Archewell.”

The Vanity Fair article suggested that tensions have arisen within the couple’s professional relationships and hinted at alleged financial strains as they transition away from their royal duties. However, sources close to the Sussexes have dismissed these claims as baseless and part of a broader attempt to undermine their credibility.

This incident marks the latest in a series of media clashes since Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior members of the royal family in 2020. The couple has repeatedly voiced concerns about what they view as sensationalist and inaccurate reporting in the press.

Supporters of the couple have rallied behind them on social media, using hashtags like #HarryAndMeghanSupport and #StopMediaHate to criticize the article and defend the pair’s decision to prioritize privacy and independence.

Despite the controversy, Harry and Meghan continue to work on multiple projects, including their production deals with streaming platforms and philanthropic initiatives under Archewell. They have also been spotted attending various events aimed at promoting mental health awareness and community empowerment.

Neither Vanity Fair nor the article’s author has responded to the Sussexes’ comments as of now.

The story underscores the ongoing challenges faced by the Duke and Duchess as they navigate life outside the royal spotlight while attempting to maintain their public image in the face of relentless scrutiny.
