Rumours of a possible split between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been squashed as the couple enjoyed an intimate dinner at an Italian restaurant to celebrate Meghan's upcoming birthday. Recent reports point to their contentment. In fact, it shows how decisions are made in the household of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

According to an insider from People, the couple looked really happy together. The source said that Harry is doing well with Meghan, recognizing that it’s notably different from his previous life. The dynamic seems to work for them, where Meghan very often takes the lead in making household decisions without giving in to Harry. This dynamic might be what he needs after facing various challenges.

Close friends of the couple claim that Meghan and Harry want a low-profile and private life for themselves, especially for their kids. They want kids to have that normalcy factor, most prominently Archie and Charlotte. The shared office in their Montecito estate with play areas and a vegetable garden is reflective of their down-to-earth way of living. The couple often enjoys simple activities like pizza takeout, playdates, and beach visits while keeping their circle small.

They deliberately decided in 2020 to step away from royal duties and move to Montecito for their well-being. The source said the royal life wasn't what they wanted for a family. Their journey since has been about creating the right environment, even if it takes time. They married in 2018 and left royal roles in 2020.

Claims made in Harry’s memoir have put strain on his relationship with his brother, Prince William. The book spoke about Meghan’s alleged mistreatment and described her feelings of being sidelined. Meghan recently turned 42; her pre-birthday celebration included watching Barbie and a dinner with friends and family, which also included Harry.
