Prince Harry is facing renewed scrutiny in the US and UK after flirty text messages he exchanged with a British reporter more than a decade ago resurfaced this week, with sources claiming the revelations could 'take a wrecking ball' to his marriage to Meghan Markle.
The resurfaced messages date back to late 2011 and early 2012, several years before Harry met Meghan in 2016 and married her in 2018. Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, the couple have built a new life in Montecito, California, with their children, Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4, and have tried to convert their global profile into a mix of commercial and philanthropic ventures. That reinvention has unfolded against a backdrop of family estrangement, fluctuating public sympathy, and an increasingly unforgiving celebrity economy.
