The Duke of Sussex could be welcomed back with ‘open arms’ if he splits from his wife Meghan Markle, a former friend of the Duchess of Sussex said.

The couple have been surrounded by split claims as some reports have speculated that their marriage is currently on the rocks but a friend of the royal couple has slammed the rumors and said they are ‘literally made up.’

According to the Mirror, sources claimed that Meghan and Harry have been living separate lives and that the duke had a hotel room nearby as his wife was spending most of her time in LA.

However, a source hit back at the rumor and said that “it is not true, it’s literally made up.”

Meghan’s former friend, Lizzie Cundy, told Mirror that a possible split could work in Harry’s favor if the couple decided to separate ways.

“I think it will be a lot better for Harry. If he does come back here he would be welcomed with open arms. Don’t forget it was our most popular royal once upon a time and the people who would welcome him with open arms, I really think it will be the best thing for Harry,” she said.

“Of course, it’s going to be very sad and it’s sad for the children. But it’s time for Harry to come home.”

Lizzie and Meghan met in 2013 when the former was asked to sit with the Suits alum at a charity event.

“I do believe Megan thought it was all about diamonds, jewels, tiaras and being the star of the show but it’s not about that being a royal and Princess Kate was always going to be the top dog!” Lizzie continued.

Speaking about the split rumors, she said that she didn’t want to see any couples separate especially when they have children.

“We could all see the writing was on the wall, it’s very different when you’re a celebrity princess than being a royal princess and frankly Meghan just wasn’t up for the job,” she continued.

Lizzie further claimed that Meghan did not want to do what other royals do because “it’s not easy it’s not glamorous, it’s not like on the red carpet.”
