Concerns have been expressed that it is the "beginning of the end" for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle live together with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, but is has been reported that Harry often takes a solo trip to a hotel near the couple's lavish mansion in Montecito.
He reportedly has a room set aside for him at the lavish San Vicente Bungalows in California according to the Scottish Express, where he spends time alone away from his wife and children. Over recent months the ex-working royals have faced numerous split allegations despite putting on a very united public front, but a royal commentator has voiced concerns that it is the "beginning of the end" for the couple.
A representative for the couple has debunked any rumours that the couple could be in troubled waters, but this has not stopped experts from weighing in on their opinions of the pair's relationship reports The Daily Record. Originally reported by The Sun, a source quoted that the hotel room was used by Harry as an "escape place."

The hotel is around a two hour drive from his £12m home, and has numerous strict privacy rules. San Vicente Bungalows is a private members club in Los Angeles, and has rules stating that state guests are not allowed to take pictures inside the premises and all phone cameras must be covered at all times.
Guests are also prohibited from discussing what they see during their stay there. If this wasn't strict enough, attendees are banned from approaching or interrupting other members according to the hotel's FAQ page.
The exclusive club has an annual fee of around £3,200, but applicants must first be vetted by a panel which is rumoured to include Hollywood actress Julia Roberts. However, a spokesperson for the couple's non-profit organisation Archewell has rubbished the rumours and denied the existence of the room at the exclusive resort.
Royal expert Kara Kennedy speculated that the reports highlight the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's relationship is not all as it seems as they have been thrust into the public spotlight yet again. She told GB News: "Every time you see them together, Harry kind of looks scathing, Meghan has this Cheshire Cat smile even in the paparazzi photos Harry looks angry and kind of like a lost lamb, and Meghan looks like she's ready to be photographed at any time."
She added: "I think this is the beginning of the end. Everybody kind of knew that it was coming, you can't really have such a different power dynamic. Even from the Time Magazine front cover, remember when Harry was kind of stepping behind Meghan, everybody made a joke that he looked like a hairdresser.
"When you have that kind of dynamic, resentment will build." The reports of Harry's private room come after the couple celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary last week. However, the pair were notably quiet in posting any pictures of the event.
Harry and Meghan have been spotted slowly edging their way back into public life following months of drama among the monarchy with the release of the pair's controversial Netflix documentary and Harry's bombshell memoir spare which threw damaging allegations towards his family. Last week the couple released a statement accusing the paparazzi in New York City of almost causing a "near catastrophic" car accident after half a dozen paps allegedly chased them and Meghan's mother through the city in a ruthless car chase.
It read: “Last night, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Ms. Ragland were involved in a near catastrophic car chase at the hands of a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi. This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers.
"While being a public figure comes with a level of interest from the public, it should never come at the cost of anyone’s safety.”
