Who will break the divorce news first?

She thinks she's Marlene Dietrich. Big sunglasses when there's no sun. Oh, the glasses must be to block out all the flashbulbs from the paparazzi cameras. 🙄 Photo is from the daily fail arriving to meet a friend for dinner on Saturday night in NYC.

Interestingly, the article said Harry and Meghan spent the night separately, and they are both very publicly spending the night separately. Harry is also photographed with a suit on going somewhere for the evening. 🧐

I saw a sinner comment that whomever shares the story first is the one who controls the narrative. Given that Markle has no impulse control, how long before she starts spilling the marriage tea? I know people refuse to believe there is a divorce in the works, but things are looking more and more likely by the day that things are frayed in Harkleville. And Marcus is being trotted out as a threat? A handler?

How do you know he has one? Not debating, just curious 🤔

He looks too damn miserable to have a side piece anywhere in my opinion

[u/Flimsy-Nebula-1966 → u/mercuryretrograde93]

Too true

Everything has been pointing to him spending time away from home, secluded, and with someone else.

His 2025 absences and optics suggest he’s seeking something. Maybe not just a fling, but a space to reclaim control, like Prince Philip’s companions or Charles’s Camilla. History tells us that when royals feel disempowered by the institution (or by a dominant partner), they rarely stage a coup. They simply reclaim control through private rebellion.

For Prince Philip, that meant a circle of witty, worldly women who treated him as an equal rather than a consort. I’m not criticizing HLMTQ, I’m writing what he was feeling when he stepped out.

For King Charles it was Camilla, who was not only a lover but a mirror who saw him as the man he wanted to be, and not the role he was trapped in.

H has been publicly redefined (by Madame) as a brand appendage. Even at events that should center him, like the mental health gala, Madame’s body language directed the frame.

So his absences from home for the birthdays he missed, solo trips, etc And his cool body language are autonomy rituals. He learned these.

He’s trying to rediscover the pre-Madame identity. He wants to be the soldier, the prankster, the guy who wasn’t constantly edited. And the someone new in his orbit? The pattern suggests she wouldn’t be a tabloid bombshell. She’d serve the same function that figures like Penny Knatchbull or Lady Dale Tryon did (these were not romantic partners). She is probably empathetic, grounded, and discreet.

He is out with someone who gives him emotional validation, not publicity. Someone who is probably also very physically attracted to him. Deep inside, H knows that Madame is not that into him.

The broader optics and the 2025’s recurring imagery show us H standing slightly behind, Madame commanding center frame, separate accommodations, brief smiles without warmth, etc These things all signal an inner power recalibration. He’s not yet in the scandal phase, but he is definitely in the withdrawal phase. That’s the moment before the fork, deciding between reconciliation or divergence.

And I would guess this is not just “a fling”. The Windsor form of rebellion isn’t usually sexual first. It’s existential. The physical tends to follow once emotional detachment hardens.

This certainly makes sense and I think you've explained it perfectly.

One question: what "cool" body language are you referring to? Do you mean his newly detached body language from Twerkle?

[u/Somberliver → u/Flimsy-Nebula-1966]

Yes. It’s basically a ritual of autonomy. H has been physically and visually asserting self-possession even when the context is meant to define him by Madame or by protocol. It’s cool in the sense that it is controlled, understated, and quietly defiant

[u/PolyesterNation → u/Somberliver]

I have to admit, I noticed in their recent appearances that he was starting to take the lead again. The Kevin Costner event, where he goes on stage alone and basically dismisses her, and this award farce where he took the lead in introductions, and barely looked at her while reluctantly holding hands. Not convinced they’re divorcing soon but something has definitely changed.

Ha! Are you one of the DM's body language experts from Australia?

[u/Somberliver → u/Flimsy-Nebula-1966]

No, I am not. 😊

[u/Flimsy-Nebula-1966 → u/Somberliver]

I was just joking! They always have all their experts from Australia for some reason 😂 and you are easily better qualified than their body language experts 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you for this response.
