Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship is said to be on the rocks as Harry is rumoured to be looking to return to the UK. Sources close to the couple say Harry feels overshadowed by his wife and is looking to return to royal life.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decided to move to the US in 2020 after stepping down from royal duties. However, according to The Sun, Harry recently attended his uncle’s funeral in the UK without Meghan by his side. He flew from the US to join his brother, Prince William, at St Mary’s Church in Snettisham, Norfolk for the funeral. A local resident said the two brothers sat far apart and did not speak. Harry had previously visited Clarence House to visit King Charles after he was diagnosed with cancer, but the two brothers have not yet met.
The relationship between the two brothers is said to have been strained since Harry married Meghan and reached a boiling point when Harry published his memoir “Spare”. In the book, Harry accused William of pushing him into a dog food bowl during an argument over Meghan. Harry also said William had mocked him about his anxiety disorder.
An unnamed source told The Sun that Harry wants to find a way to return to royal life in the UK and is seeking advice from old friends and former aides he trusts. The Mail on Sunday also reported that Harry has contacted his former aides in the UK after growing tired of the Hollywood agents he and Meghan are hiring.
Royal expert Angela Levin said Harry had looked unhappy recently and appeared to be “abandoned” during the couple’s tour of Colombia in August. She told The Sun: “I was completely surprised to hear Harry was trying to call his old friends to help him get back together with his family . ”
The reports about Harry’s relationship seem to contradict the praise he has for Meghan. Harry has previously said that Meghan helped him escape his previous life of confinement. In an interview in March, Harry told Dr. Gabor Maté, an expert in trauma, addiction, stress and child development: “I was trapped in this world, and she came from another world and helped me get out of it. But none of the elements of my life now would have happened without me seeing it for myself .” Harry added: “My wife is an extraordinary woman and I will always be grateful for the wisdom and space she has given me . ”
However, sources close to the couple told The Sun that Harry felt out of place in California and was even overshadowed by Meghan in public. “The Colombia trip also really showed how comfortable Meghan is in the spotlight, while Harry looks glum and unhappy in the background ,” the source said. Images of Harry and Meghan salsa dancing and showing affection in public during their visit to Colombia seem to contradict these reports. During the trip, they spoke to young people about the impact of social media and discussed internet safety.
