The Australian Institute of Family studies reports that the divorce rate (divorces per 1,000 Australian residents) has fallen in the 2000s and was at its lowest rate since 1976 in 2016 at just 1.9…

Ms Markle carries the burden of being American (divorce rates are higher in the US than Britain), a celebrity (record holders for divorce are famous) and it’s her second marriage (she was hitched to film producer Trevor Engelson) which are also more likely to end in divorce. But how likely is it for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to eventually divorce?..

Statistics from the Australian Institute of Family Studies show that divorce has gone out of fashion this millennium, with the crude divorce rate falling from 2.8 per 1000 people in 2001 to 2.1 in 2013. The decline in divorce is particularly noticeable among couples aged 25-40.
