Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: 3 reasons their bond is stronger than ever

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary after tying the knot in a beautiful ceremony at St George's Chapel.

In 2018, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex captured global attention as they exchanged their vows on national television. Today, they celebrate their love story—a journey that has redefined and transformed years of tradition.

A family shake-up, rumoured divorce drama and two children later, the husband and wife are still going strong. One would think the couple's strength lies in their ability to stir long-standing conversations around race, class, and media. But their secret recipe is indeed years of self-work and immense empathy for one another.

With their exit as Senior Royals in 2020, both Harry and Meghan dared to challenge the status quo and took it upon themselves to build a life for themselves as producers, philanthropists, and advocates for mental health and social justice.

Now in a celebratory post from her home in Montecito, Meghan has turned to her Instagram with a collage of photos as she recounts her blessings.

"Seven years of marriage. A lifetime of stories. Thanks to all of you (whether by our side, or from afar) who have loved and supported us throughout our love story - we appreciate you. Happy anniversary!" she captioned her post.

But what really makes the Duke and Duchess of Sussex unbreakable? 

With years of observation and close analysis on their journey, I have lined up three major qualities the Sussex possess, that make them as resilient as they are.

Shared Common Goal

Meghan and Harry have always made their love for philanthropy a priority. Their Archewell Foundation and multimedia ventures are proof that the couple believes in storytelling and wants to make a greater impact in the world with their united front.

Receptive of Each Other's Needs

The Sussexes have always proved that they actively work to be receptive to each other's needs. It is a relationship built on mutual empowerment, love and support. Even during their problematic time in the UK, the couple has undoubtedly thrived under adversity and has built a bond that is deep-rooted in emotional trust and mutual protection.

Work-Life Balance

Meghan and Harry have found a balanced approach to enhance their quality of life. They not only engage in humanitarian projects together but also focus on their individual career paths, allowing them to maintain their unique identities.

They are deeply communicative parents to Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet and take it together as a 'team' to shape their beautiful lives.
