Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s marriage has been well-documented over the past 12 months with a podcast, a documentary series, and Harry’s autobiography, Spare, offering insight into their celebrity life together.

Details of the couple’s relationship have often been shared alongside the growing distance and separation of Prince Harry from the royal family, the pair sharing much of the fallout publicly.

The gossip circus that has followed them has often invited spurious and misleading claims too, with one suspicious rumor shared on social media this week that Markle had filed divorce papers for an extraordinary sum.

A tweet by commentator Ada Lluch, posted on July 11, 2023, and viewed 6.9 million times, claimed that Meghan Markle had “allegedly filed divorce papers asking for $80 million plus the total custody of Archie and Lilibet.”

The tweet read: “Rumors are that Meghan Markle is separating from Harry.

Karl Larsen, a photographer who launched a YouTube channel with Meghan Markle’s father Thomas, wrote on his Instagram stories earlier this month: “So nice to see my friends Harry and Meghan on Friday before they get away for the long weekend. Please do not believe the media. They are very much in love, and are happy together nothing but smiles and laughter here.”

Whatever the strength of that, the fact remains that there is no credible evidence supporting the notion that Markle has filed an $80 million divorce from Harry.
