Hurley was photographed wearing sunglasses and a big smile while out for a coffee run. A paparazzi shouted, "Are you dating Prince Harry?" Hurley responded with an even bigger smile and said, "No comment." This response fueled further rumors that Harry could be the mystery man staying at her estate.
Let's dissect the situation. We know that Harry and Elizabeth Hurley have been friends for years, reportedly since the early 2000s. Harry often finds solace at Hurley's country estate in Hertfordshire when he wants to take a break from royal life. So, it wouldn't be unusual for him to visit. Additionally, insiders have been observing the deteriorating state of Harry and Meghan's marriage for over a year. Multiple sources claim that they are barely on speaking terms and living more like roommates. The spark between them has evidently faded.
According to this theory, while Meghan stayed home with the children, Harry decided to clear his head and get away for the weekend at a friend's house—Elizabeth Hurley's. They reminisced about old times, shared laughs, and perhaps a romance blossomed between the longtime friends. Could Harry and Elizabeth's friendship be evolving into something more?
Initially, Meghan tried to brush off the rumors. However, after Hurley's cryptic Instagram post and her refusal to deny the speculations, Meghan's suspicions grew stronger. She confronted Harry, demanding to know the truth behind the cheating rumors. Harry denied any wrongdoing, but Meghan remains unconvinced and feels betrayed by someone she considered a friend.
Let's delve into the history between Meghan and Elizabeth. When Meghan first started dating Harry, she saw Hurley as a potential threat, although the actress dismissed rumors of romantic interest in Harry. Over the years, the two women became friendly, and Meghan trusted Elizabeth. Therefore, if Elizabeth were to make a move on Harry now, it would be seen as the ultimate betrayal in Meghan's eyes.
It's not the first time Harry's past connections with other women have sparked rumors. Throughout his relationship with Meghan, there were ongoing speculations about his relationship with Kate Middleton, which caused tension. There were even allegations that Harry and Chelsea Davy rekindled their romance just before his engagement to Meghan was announced. Given this history, it's understandable why Meghan would be skeptical of any woman from Harry's past, especially someone as glamorous as Elizabeth Hurley.
Another aspect to consider is King Charles's potential involvement. There have been murmurs for months that Charles never fully approved of Meghan as a daughter-in-law, and he had hoped Harry would choose a more established royal bride like Kate Middleton. What if Charles secretly encouraged this supposed weekend visit between Harry and Elizabeth to further undermine Harry and Meghan's already crumbling marriage? While this theory may sound far-fetched, we have witnessed how Charles has subtly undermined Meghan in the past. Perhaps he saw an opportunity to drive an even bigger wedge between the Sussexes. Elizabeth's aristocratic background and lifelong connections to the Royals could make her a more suitable match in Charles's eyes.
Imagine the headlines if Harry did leave Meghan to pursue something with Elizabeth Hurley. The British tabloids would undoubtedly revel in the story of "Hurricane Hurley" swooping in to captivate the prince. Such a development would justify Charles and the monarchy's lingering dislike of the American actress who allegedly disrupted Harry's life. However, it's important to note that none of these speculations have been substantiated. For now, both Harry and Elizabeth maintain that it was just an innocent visit between longtime acquaintances. Nevertheless, Meghan may now view Elizabeth as a potential threat, lurking in the shadows, ready to capitalize on any sign of trouble in her marriage.
