Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been surrounded by nasty split rumours in recent months, but one of their close pals has now jumped to their defence.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex tied the knot in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle back in 2018 as they were surrounded by close friends and family. Since then, they've gone on to welcome two children together - Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Despite being madly in love, Harry and Meghan have found themselves at the centre of false rumours claiming their relationship is on the rocks.
It had previously been claimed that Meghan spent a lot of time partying with her friends in Los Angeles, while her husband preferred to remain at home and do his own thing.

A source has told Closer Magazine that Harry and Meghan are now facing "mounting business pressures".
The source added they are "having to work hard to rescue their brand" because "it's not looking good". They said Meghan and Harry's overheads are "massive" and they need "huge paydays" in order to maintain their current lifestyle.
Harry and Meghan moved into their nine-bedroom mansion in 2020 and have since "settled into the quiet privacy of their community".
The couple's neighbourhood is filled with famous faces like Oprah Winfrey, Gwyneth Paltrow and Ellen DeGeneres.
