Meghan Markle is reportedly growing increasingly frustrated with Prince Harry’s lack of initiative and the burden she feels in carrying the weight of their post-royal life, according to a new report by RadarOnline. An insider close to the couple claimed that Meghan is becoming tired of Harry’s upbringing and what she sees as his ineffectiveness in navigating the demands of their public and professional lives in California.
“Nothing is going the way she wanted or expected,” the source revealed, referencing the challenges the couple has faced despite the modest success of Meghan’s latest lifestyle venture, As Ever. While the pair have enjoyed waves of media attention since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, the source suggested that interest in Prince Harry, particularly in Hollywood, has significantly cooled.

“Clearly, the luster of Harry’s title has worn off with the public and players in Hollywood,” the insider said. “The doors are closing all around her.” According to the source, Meghan is feeling increasingly isolated and unsupported in their endeavors. “During this time, it seems Harry isn’t doing enough to help her,” the source added.
The issue, they claimed, is not a lack of effort but a lack of skill. “Harry’s busy with his charities, and there isn’t a lot he can do anyway because he isn’t business-minded.” The insider also reflected on Harry’s royal upbringing, which may be contributing to Meghan’s frustrations. “Obviously, he was raised in a different world, where everything was handed to him on a silver platter,” they explained.
“There were people to make his appointments, shine his shoes, and pay the bills.” The disconnect between their backgrounds, the source said, is starting to create emotional strain within the relationship. “It must make Markle throw her hands up seeing how helpless and ineffectual Harry is. Everything seems to rest on her shoulders.”

While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have remained largely united in public appearances and statements, rumors of tension have circulated since their move to Montecito. From failed media deals to public criticism over their royal split, the couple has weathered a variety of challenges as they attempt to redefine their roles outside the British monarchy.
Neither Meghan nor Harry has publicly addressed the latest report, but it adds to a growing narrative about the pressures they face as they continue to navigate life beyond the palace walls — one where titles carry less power and Hollywood demands far more than just a royal name.
