As Meghan Markle continues to expand her growing business empire, insiders claim her husband, Prince Harry, is feeling increasingly isolated and sidelined. According to RadarOnline, the Duke of Sussex has been struggling to adjust to Meghan’s demanding schedule and her intense focus on her lifestyle brand, As Ever.
One insider revealed, “Harry is feeling more isolated than ever. Meghan starts her day before sunrise, throws herself into an endless workload, and won’t hand things off. Her expectations are so demanding that they leave everyone on edge.” The source went on to share that Harry has expressed his discontent to friends, allegedly admitting, “This isn’t the life I thought I was choosing.”
Since stepping away from royal duties in 2020, Harry envisioned a life centered on family and meaningful projects, particularly his work with veterans and his public speaking engagements. However, insiders suggest tension has grown between the couple because Meghan prefers to manage nearly every aspect of her ventures herself, leaving Harry feeling excluded.
“The tension really stems from Meghan wanting to manage nearly everything on her own. She doesn’t include Harry the way she once did, aside from the occasional acknowledgment,” the source said.
The insider added that Harry often finds himself with little to occupy his time in the evenings, as Meghan remains consumed with phone calls and brand obligations. “He feels pushed to the sidelines, and most evenings he’s left with nothing to do while she’s tied up on calls or dealing with brand matters.”
Although Harry occasionally jokes that he has to “book a slot” with his wife to spend time together, the source noted that behind the humor lies real frustration. “They once treated time together as sacred, but now Harry jokes that he practically has to book a slot with his wife. He makes light of it, but deep down it bothers him.”
Those close to the couple claim Harry has urged Meghan to take “a real break so they can spend quality time together.” While he understands the importance of her business pursuits, he reportedly fears their marriage is taking a back seat.
With his ties to King Charles and Prince William strained, Harry is said to feel the weight of loneliness. The insider concluded, “He’s not living the life he expected – and he’s finding it hard to cope.”
