Did Harry BETRAY MEGHAN?!

Prince Harry sparks cheating fears after he's caught in a tight embrace with Meghan Markle's close friend

They looked shockingly intimate. Prince Harry, wearing his sweat- and dirt-stained polo uniform, had his arm around a beautiful blonde, who snaked her own arm around the royal's neck. They held each other cheek to cheek at one point, their bodies locked in a tight embrace. The cozy display took place on the sidelines of California's Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club on June 12 during Harry's Los dress team's match in view of dozens of people. "They were hanging all over each other," an eyewitness says of Harry and the woman, who has been ID'd as Argentine socialite Delfina Blaquier. "Everyone was talking about it."

And what it means for his wife, Meghan Markle. "It wasn't the smartest move on Harry's part," notes a source, adding that Meghan tends to bristle at public perception that something is wrong in their marriage. And her concern over Harry's closeness with the 41-year-old - wife of his longtime friend and teammate Nacho Figueras, 45 - has caused tension to flare between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Meghan hasn't forgotten that before Harry met her in 2016, he had a well-earned reputation as a playboy with a wandering eye. "It's stirred up old trust issues, but mostly, Meghan's fearful of how a cheating scandal would look."
