Meghan Markle’s Tribute Highlights Longtime Collaborators—But Where’s Prince Harry?
Meghan Markle recently took to Instagram to share a heartfelt post acknowledging the creative minds who have supported her over the years. She expressed deep gratitude to makeup artist Daniel Martin, website designer Ryan Sax, and photographer Jake Rosenberg, recognizing them as integral partners in her projects spanning more than a decade.
Alongside two photos featuring the trio, the Duchess of Sussex wrote:
“Huge thanks to the fellas who have been with me on every creative endeavor for over a decade.”
Her message, while celebrating her close-knit professional circle, notably did not mention Prince Harry—a detail that didn’t go unnoticed by fans.
Markle has often highlighted the support of her well-known “girl squad,” but in this post, she chose to shine a light on these three men, acknowledging their role in bringing her vision to life—especially with her latest venture, As Ever, a lifestyle brand that underwent a name change due to trademark challenges.
She concluded her message with:
“Thank you for being the best partners through thick and thin. My heart feels so full. Dream team.”
As expected, social media quickly buzzed about why Prince Harry was not included in the tribute. Speculation swirled, with some wondering if it hinted at trouble in paradise. However, sources close to the couple suggest his absence was intentional rather than an oversight.
Markle’s Instagram post coincided with the official launch of her As Ever product line, which features high-end items like $28 artisanal honey and $15 floral sprinkles.
An insider revealed that Harry deliberately took a step back to allow Meghan to have her moment in the spotlight.
“It was clear he wanted this to be Meghan’s moment to shine,” the source shared, describing him as “super polite and friendly” on set for her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, in which he made a brief appearance.
Despite whispers of tension, Markle assured People Magazine that she and Harry are experiencing a renewed ‘honeymoon period’ nearly seven years into their marriage. She fondly recalled their early days, noting how Harry was drawn to her passion for creative projects when they first met in 2016.
“My husband met me when I had The Tig,” she said, referring to her now-defunct lifestyle blog.
She added that she still sees a spark in his eye when he watches her bring ideas to life.
“Harry remains incredibly supportive. He loves seeing me in my creative element.”
Since their highly publicized departure from royal duties in 2020, Meghan and Harry have carved out a new life in Montecito, California, where they reside with their two children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.
While the media continues to scrutinize their every move, the couple remains focused on their evolving personal and professional endeavors, navigating life beyond the royal spotlight.
