Meghan Markle insisted her marriage to Prince Harry is in the "honeymoon period," Fox News reported. Rumors persist about the pair, who have been married for seven years, and whether they may be getting a divorce.
The Duchess of Sussex appeared on an episode of The Jamie Kern Lima Show podcast released Monday. In an effort to address persistent rumors of divorce, host Lima asked Markle if she thinks she "will be married forever" to the Duke of Sussex.
Markle gave a firm "yes" to the question before protesting a little too much. "He’s also a fox, if you haven’t noticed. My husband’s very, very handsome. But his heart is even more beautiful," Markle responded.
As part of a softball setup, Lima quoted Harry's recent praise of his wife that was given to the press. "I'm so happy for my wife and fully support absolutely everything she’s done and continues to do," Harry said, no doubt also trying to dispel rumors of an impending split.
"He’s such a great partner. I feel that every day, how supportive he's been and is, but I didn't know he said that, so that's really nice," Markle responded to Harry's supportive words.
"That man loves me so much and, you know, look what we’ve built. We’ve built a beautiful life, and we have two healthy, beautiful children." However, this life they built came after Harry and Meghan famously left the royal family to pursue their current endeavors.
Markle leaned into the royal angle, perhaps having learned that it was the only thing that made her and her husband interesting. "I always think about it like the end of Super Mario Brothers, and you get to the final final level, and what’s the goal in Super Mario Brothers? Slay the dragon, save the princess," the 43-year-old As Ever founder claimed.
"I’m like, that’s my husband. He’s just out there constantly… going to do whatever he can to make sure our family is safe and protected and uplifted, and still make time for date nights," Markle claimed.
Markle's over-the-top praise for her husband and their marriage continued when she claimed they were more in love now than ever. "You have to imagine, at the beginning, everyone has butterflies, and then we immediately went into the trenches together right out of the gate, six months into dating," Markle claimed.
"So now, seven years later when you have a little bit of breathing space, you can just enjoy each other in a new way, and that's why I feel like it's more of a honeymoon period for us now," Markle claimed. The host then gave the duchess a letter "via Papa" from her children, Archie and Lilibet.
"We love your cooking. We love your pancakes and we love love love your hugs," they purportedly wrote.
"You're the best mummy, and we love you," Markle read from the letter. Of course, this all seemed a little too on the nose since, Markle has been trying to brand herself as a homemaker and mom influencer in her With Love, Meghan series on Netflix.
Whatever is happening in their marriage is their business. However, Markle seems to be trying extra hard to be more likable while also trying to convince everyone that her marriage is solid, and this smacks of overcompensation.
