Will the Arrival of Baby Sussex Be the Toughest Challenge Yet for Harry and Meghan?
While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear to be in the honeymoon phase of their marriage, the upcoming arrival of their first child next spring is set to bring a whole new set of challenges to their relationship. According to relationship expert Jazz Bjelica, speaking with the UK’s Express, this will be "the biggest test" the couple has faced so far. Bjelica explained, "Becoming parents for the first time is a monumental shift for any couple. It's a period filled with changes that can put even the strongest marriages under pressure. The dynamics of their relationship will inevitably shift once the baby arrives."
Clarissa Bloom, a renowned dating and relationship expert, echoed Bjelica's sentiments. She told the outlet, "This is a pivotal moment that reveals a lot about the maturity of a couple. It's a time when excitement meets uncertainty, and the foundation of their relationship will truly be tested. How Meghan and Harry navigate these changes will speak volumes about the strength of their bond. The structure and support within their relationship will be more critical than ever as they embark on this new chapter together."
The Reality of Parenthood: Sleepless Nights and Stressful Days
As Bloom further explained, the realities of parenthood can be overwhelming, even for a couple as seemingly well-prepared as Harry and Meghan. "Childbirth is an exhausting experience, both physically and emotionally. It can lead to tension and stress, which might be new territory for Harry and Meghan. Given the relatively short time they've been married, they may not have faced major relationship issues yet. However, the challenges of sleepless nights and the demands of a newborn are about to test their patience and resilience like never before."

Intimacy in the Spotlight: Navigating the New Normal
Bloom also pointed out that the couple's intimate relationship could take a hit once the baby arrives. "For most new parents, their sex life tends to take a nosedive after the birth of their child. While this doesn't have to be the case, it's a common reality for many couples. Harry and Meghan will need to prioritize patience and communication as they navigate this phase. It's crucial for them to remember that it's okay to take their time and reconnect when they're both ready."
Support Systems in Place: How the Royals Have an Advantage
On a more positive note, Bloom highlighted that Harry and Meghan have a distinct advantage over many new parents. "Being part of the royal family means they have access to a robust support system. From nannies to royal staff, they'll have plenty of help in caring for their newborn. Financially, they're also in a position where they won't have to worry about the typical stressors that come with raising a child. While their relationship will certainly evolve, it's unlikely to change in the same ways it might for other couples. They're incredibly fortunate to have such a strong foundation of support around them."
