For years, Prince Harry<\/a> and Meghan Markle have hardly been seen without one another. Whether that was during their brief stint as working royals, or in the years since, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are normally always together as a team and hand-in-hand.<\/a><\/p>\n

While this has been the case for a long time, it seems that, on a professional level, the couple are set to be more independent of one another. This comes after claims that Meghan no longer wants to follow her husband around on work trips<\/a>, now that they are back living in the UK.<\/p>\n

Instead, the duchess reportedly wants to focus on the couple\u2019s children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five. Outside of work, it is believed the couple remains as loved-up as ever.<\/p>\n

As reported by the Oxford Mail<\/a>, a source said: “She\u2019s focused on the kids and her brand. She\u2019s not interested in following him around like some Stepford wife.<\/p>\n

“Her view is that they should divide and conquer and Harry agrees, but it does mean a whole lot more pressure on his shoulders and absolutely zero time to himself because the moment he\u2019s free from work he\u2019s got to rush home to give Meghan a break from parenting duties.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to focusing on his own work, reports suggest that Harry also wants to \u201copen doors\u201d for his wife here in the UK. This, according to the source, is something he promised his wife when they moved back<\/a> to the UK in August after six years living in America.<\/p>\n
