While the source said they would be “stunned” if the couple ever split romantically, they do seem to have different goals, with former Suits actress Meghan dreaming of being a billionaire and a celebrity.

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, Newsweek’s Chief Royal Correspondent Jack Royston said: “Imagine if Meghan left Harry, it would destroy her reputation. 

“She would be eviscerated publicly because she's already slipped into this kind of category on social media, the way that pop culture commentators talk about her. 

“They lump her in with these other famous women who are perceived as being narcissistic or being controlling of their husbands.

“Alec Baldwin's wife got this treatment the other day. So Blake Lively as well. 

“So if she walked out on Harry, she would never reputationally survive it.

“But then Harry without Meghan, what's his life in America going to be like?”

Editor-in-Chief of Majesty Magazine Ingrid Seward said: “I think that they are dependent on each other though.”

She added that she didn’t think that Prince Harry would ever leave his two children, Prince Archie, six, and Lilibet, three.

Ingrid continued: “Well, he wouldn't leave the children.

“And in America, the rules about children, it's they're always with the mother, nearly always. “So it's not going to happen. 

“Do you remember when they got married, a lot of members actually of the royal family even said it won't last five years.

“It's lasted seven.”

After Ingrid claimed that Harry and Meghan have a “symbiotic relationship”, Jack shared: “They need each other.”

He added: “With Harry she's nothing. 

“And without her, Harry's life in America is nothing.”

However, Jack added: “He has a reputation to fall back on.”

Currently Prince Harry is increasingly estranged from ­Britain and his family amid defeat in his High Court battle to ­overturn a protection downgrade since their 2020 “Megxit”, when he and Meghan quit as working royals to live in the US.

PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle have lived in their luxury Montecito mansion since they splashed out £11.93m on it in June 2020.

The sprawling nine-bed, 16-bath home in Santa Barbara sits on 5.4 acres of land and features a library, office, spa, gym, game room, wine cellar and five-car garage, it's believed.

The estate also boasts sweeping lawns, tiered rose gardens, tall Italian cypress trees, blooming lavender, olive trees, a tennis court, tea house, children's cottage and a pool. 

The couple have treated fans to glimpses of their multiple living spaces on several occasions - showing off a minimalist vibe.

It is said to have more than doubled in value since the former royals bought it.
