In life, changes are the only constant, but in marriage, change becomes the most important constant. While some may object to its vitality, many adorn it with open arms, like turning a new page in one’s life. Likewise, when Prince Harry married Meghan Markle, changes were swift and widespread across all sectors at the royal headquarters. But many may not know that the storming flux took over him personally, too, as he had to part ways with a $65,000 possession to ensure lasting marital bliss. 

Whether happiness was truly in their cards is a story for another time, this one focuses on the valuable item that was overshadowed by the heavy artillery of their official union.

Prince Harry may have royal blood flowing in his veins, but his build is of a fighter, making him the perfect blend of a princely avenger. Although military and bloodsport are now his history, before marrying Meghan Markle, the Prince had to let go of a memory trinket of his past life—a pair of Purdey firearms. According to a report by The Sun in 2020, the Duke sold this estimated $65,000 handmade hunting rifles to a fellow hunter in a private deal. 

Prince Harry learned to hunt and shoot as a child, but Markle was opposed from the very beginning. Hence, before their Stateside relocation, he emptied the barrel of the two British-made guns. Subsequently, the Duke was reported absent from shoots at Balmoral and Sandringham that year. At the time, conversationist Dr. Jane Goodall speculated he would turn his back on Bloodsport in an interview with Radio Times because of Markle’s dislike. 

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Send Out a Powerful Message Following Their Latest Joint Appearance

While sacrifices are inevitable in courtship, relentless Hawkeyes predicting a split overshadowed their romantic bliss. However, those concerns are no longer viable thanks to their joint appearance.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently dropped a video message on November 7, speaking at the first-ever Global Ministerial Conference on Violence Against Children in Columbia. Making a case for children’s online safety, the Duke and Duchess pressed further to enhance the protective efforts. Prince Harry discussed the launch of The Parents’ Network, serving as a support system for families suffering from their children’s online harm.

In the clip, the Sussex pair were twinning like a power couple in black and blue with a Remembrance Day pin on their coattails. This joint appearance also followed widespread speculation that their marriage was in the last straw following their solo appearances over the months. However, the video did not only shatter those rumors but also unintentionally made a case for their Sussex brand, with PR experts predicting success on their tails.
