A big house, Californian sunshine, oodles of dosh and, of course, priceless privacy – life in Montecito must be pretty awesome for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. But does one detect a tiny hint of trouble in paradise? For much of 2021 and 2022 it seems that one of the pair could not appear anywhere without the other popping up moments later. Whether it was the joint Oprah interview, Harry’s cameo role in Meghan’s podcast or his sudden appearance from ‘somewhere in the house’ in her interview with the Cut, the two have been keen to encourage the impression that they are inseparable.
