Prince Harry and Meghan Markle "avoided couples' therapy" with their luxurious getaway to the Caribbean, a royal source has claimed.
This trip, which Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet did not attend, immediately took place after the Sussexes' World Mental Health Day event in New York on October 10.
According to a source, the Caribbean holiday was intended to bring the couple closer - especially as they would be alone without their two young children.

The source said: "The trip was very much Harry's idea. He wanted to whisk Meghan away for some couple time and try to reignite the spark between them.
"They spent time relaxing and it was great for them. The purpose of the trip was also to figure out a plan moving forward."
The insider claimed the former working royals were keen to "avoid couples' therapy".
In addition, Meghan and Harry were hoping the holiday could "give them a chance to have some fun," the source told Heat magazine.

They continued: "It's not like they're in crisis, but like everyone, they have their issues and they need some quality time together.
"The intensity and scale of the stress they face can make them very tetchy, especially as they're under so much scrutiny at all times."
The Sussexes were said to have partied with Amal and George Clooney, Robert Downey Jr., Amy Schumer, Mark Walhberg and Leonardo DiCaprio while visiting the Caribbean island.
The parents of two could have stayed at the Canouan Estate Resort and Villas, the Mandarin Oriental, or the Soho Beach House Canouan.
