Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing fresh scrutiny over the state of their marriage after new claims of 'tension' in their relationship emerged in the US press in April, just as the couple prepared for a high-profile trip to Australia.
The latest speculation flared days after the Duchess of Sussex posted a glossy Easter video from the couple's £11.7 million Montecito estate on 5 April. In the sun-drenched footage, shared from California, Meghan was seen feeding chickens, gathering eggs and watching Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, dash across the lawn on an egg hunt. It was the sort of carefully stage-managed glimpse the Sussexes now specialize in, framed as a slice of simple family life far from royal formality.
