Meghan 'needs to support Harry's solo trip' despite issues, marriage expert says

Meghan Markle "needs to support Prince Harry's solo trip" despite their alleged issues, an expert has claimed.

The Duke of Sussex was spotted at Tokyo's Haneda Airport today ahead of an appearance at the ISPS Sports Values Summit-Special Edition in the city today, without his wife the Duchess of Sussex. His solo trip around the globe comes mere weeks after split rumours circled the couple, with some fans worried for the California-based stars.

Last month, it was reported the couple were "taking time apart", with a source speculating that the Duke of Sussex "doesn’t fit in Meghan’s tacky Tinseltown world". They also added that Harry wants to "find himself".

The source added to Radar Online the couple were to be "taking time apart on different continents", with Prince Harry gearing up for his solo trip, which we later reported could put a "strain" on the couple's marriage. Although following on from Radar's report, Page Six claimed an insider urged that the "spending time apart" rumours were "not true".

But despite a source denying that the couple could be facing troubles after their Spotify axe and Emmys snub, fans and critics of the couple have continued to speculate. Senior therapist and relationship expert Sally Baker from Working On The Body told Mirror US that travel plans like Prince Harry's visit to Japan are "usually scheduled well in advance and may not always align perfectly with what's going on in someone's personal life", urging that his solo trip likely isn't linked to any alleged issue the couple may have at the moment.

"Harry may have felt obligated to follow through," Sally added. She continued: "While the optics of traveling alone aren't ideal amidst rabid marital rumours, we don't know what conversations Harry and Meghan have had privately about this. Perhaps they mutually agreed he should go."

Sally then urged that "in any long-term relationship, partners need to sometimes support each other's independent goals [and] work despite what's happening between them personally. This may be one of those times. Equally many couples thrive with time apart that acts to renew and reinforce the quality of the time they spend together."

She then said that the haters and the doubters will likely love to see Harry without Meghan, but adds that the alleged "demise of their marriage is hopefully hugely exaggerated and they are both fine with Harry fulfilling his solo responsibilities".
