Prince Harry making deliberate attempts to distance from Meghan Markle in his next move

Royal commentator Ingrid Seward reckons that Prince Harry 's individual public appearances, away from Meghan Markle , may be a deliberate tactic to restore his popularity with the public . Harry has been spotted jetting solo last month to cities including New York and London to champion causes dear to him.

Meanwhile, Meghan made heads turn just this week, as she graced a children's hospital gala in a stunning red outfit alone , and commemorated International Day of the Girl with youngsters. This solo stride marks a change from the couple's previous pattern of jointly attending events before their high-profile withdrawal from royal duties.

Chatting with The Sun, Seward mused that although Harry has denounced royal life, there could be scope for public reconciliation but claimd she doesn't "see the same thing for Meghan."

"Deep down people still love Prince Harry, and they want to love him, I think they're just very, very disappointed in him. He made millions out of Spare, but he seriously has paid for it, because it's done his reputation an immeasurable amount of harm , especially with his family, but the way that people view him."

Emphasising her viewpoint further, she adds: "It's really good to see a glimpse of the old Harry... and, hopefully, it will resonate with him too."

A confidante recently shed light on the changing dynamics of the Sussexes, who were known for their inseparable 'salt and pepper' persona, stated by Meghan a few years ago as they "move together". Now, it appears there's a shift, hinted at after their Colombia tour in August, which has sparked widespread speculation.

According to a source who spoke to People magazine: "It's clear that a twin-track approach is evolving."

Another friend was quoted saying: "The Duke and Duchess have now hit their stride as individuals – not just as a couple. The Duke appears focused on his patronage work, and the Duchess focused on her entrepreneurial track."

They went on to clarify that Meghan's focus will be on her business initiatives, while Harry devotes himself to philanthropy; however, both will unite for causes they support. Dismissing the notion of a dispute based on Meghan's subdued presence, the friend pointed out their decision to balance parental duties means one is often home with the kids.
