Reports are speculating that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's relationship could be strained and a second friend close to the pair has shared their thoughts on the situation.
The past few weeks have seen a number of claims regarding the duo following their Spotify axe and apparent Netflix struggle. It had been alleged that the pair were "taking time apart" from each other, with Prince Harry said to be ready to partake on a solo trip to Africa for a new documentary.
However, despite several claims they aren't in a good place, a second confident has now come out with a staunch defence, calling any such claims "complete garbage".
The source close to the couple told B azaar it's simply not true and the pair are still as solid as ever. The claim echoes that of another close pal to the pair who recently told Page Six the claims are "not true," insisting they are "literally made up".
And a body language expert claimed told the Mirror that their actions were also appearing to be those of a happy couple.
Judi James revealed that although the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may not be as tactile as they have been in public previously, some of the pair's rituals are still "alive and well".
She said: "Harry and Meghan have been a walking testimony to marital bliss. Their face-gazing looks of mutual adoration and their inability to not touch, hug, stroke or clasp hands with each other for longer than a few moments has always proved that however controversial their comments, their love was an ongoing success story.
"Their two most current appearances together show them snapped on the hoof. The car photos do appear to suggest the hand-holding ritual is still alive and well (although the hands themselves are hidden their arm positioning does suggest the gesture ends in a clasp).
"Her wide smile when she is with Harry looks like a statement, a social gesture to let fans know her life is still happy and perfect, although his expression is a bit more muted."
