Amid ongoing rumors about the Sussexes' marriage being on the rocks, insiders told us Markle, 43, is cracking under the pressure of public scrutiny as she tries to claw her way back into Hollywood and launch her lifestyle brand – leaving her marriage to Harry "hanging by a thread."

Since Markle and Harry moved to California in 2020 – where they're raising children Archie, five, and Lilibet, three – the couple has had their $20million Spotify deal axed, their Polo Netflix documentary trashed, and had ex-employees brand the mother-of-two a "dictator in heels."

"No one would be surprised if they decided to pull the plug on their marriage."
Meanwhile, Harry is said to be traveling and spending more nights away from his wife and kids.

Another insider said: "Her marriage to Harry made her an international figure. People believe if she walks, it will be with a big bag of money and her royal title.
"She will be set for life – and ready for a return to Hollywood."
