Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have found themselves at the centre of split speculation, with the rumours starting after the release of Harry's debut memoir Spare.
The Duke of Sussex made a number of allegations about the Royal Family in his book, with his wife thought to have been concerned about the contents of the memoir.
In the bombshell book, Harry claimed he was left terrified after being physically attacked by his brother Prince William. He also alleged that their father King Charles put his own interests above his son's.
Harry further claimed that his stepmother Queen Camilla "sacrificed me on her personal PR altar".
The 38-year-old carried out several high-profile interviews to promote Spare, but his wife didn't join him for the promotion.
