Nevertheless, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been media fodder since rumors circulated about them in 2016, in the early days of their relationship. British tabloids have steadfastly covered the couple’s tumultuous relationship with the rest of the British royal family, not to mention the duchess’ relationship with her estranged father, Thomas Markle.
