Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have a “new normal” as the couple champion different causes that are close to their heart, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made several solo appearances in the last few weeks.

Harry was seen touring New York, London and Lesotho promoting children’s safety on social media, his charity Sentebale and also celebrating the UK’s seriously ill children.

Meanwhile, Meghan attended a children’s hospital gala in LA which celebrated the “exceptional services” provided to children across the region.

He also said that the duke may have felt like a “spare part” during joint appearances with his wife and that he may have decided to “spread his wings”.

The author told the Sun: “In the last couple of weeks we’ve got used to seeing Harry flying solo, so to speak.

“He’s been in New York. He’s been in Africa. He’s been over here in London, and it’s fairly obvious that he’s decided to spread his wings and branch out and do things on his own.

“I think he felt that he was becoming a bit of a spare part with Meghan on some of the trips that he went with her to, certainly to Colombia and Nigeria.

“I think she came across as the dominant partner, and perhaps he felt a little bit like a sort of spare part, or sort of bolt on accessory, if you like, and I think that’s probably rankled with him a little bit.

“So he’s obviously decided to do things differently.”
