Prince Harry has become a “shadow” of his former self, according to a royal insider, who claims the transformation is due to his relationship with Meghan Markle. The remarks, reported by The Sun, paint a picture of a once “jolly ex-soldier” now resembling “a beaten, submissive shadow of his former self.”
The insider, described as someone familiar with the royal dynamics, also revealed that the couple’s current professional separation was allegedly Harry’s “own idea.” This revelation has fueled speculation that the Duke of Sussex may be contemplating a broader departure, not just from his professional collaborations with Meghan but potentially from his life in the United States altogether.
Concerns about their relationship were heightened after Meghan Markle attended the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Gala alone, wearing a striking red dress that divided opinions, with some calling it “revolting.” According to the source, Meghan appeared visibly strained at the event.
“She looked totally defeated and like she had all the motivation knocked out of her,” the insider remarked. The source further speculated about Meghan’s state of mind, adding, “She looked almost as if she knew she was losing her grip on her husband, who has been so paramount to her plans all along, I feel.”
The couple’s marriage has faced scrutiny ever since they stepped back from royal duties and moved to the U.S. to pursue independent ventures. Recent rumors about their professional and personal distance have only intensified public interest in their dynamic. While neither Harry nor Meghan has commented publicly on these claims, the speculation underscores the ongoing challenges the couple faces as they navigate life outside the royal family.
Prince Harry, who has long been viewed as a symbol of resilience and camaraderie following his military service, now finds himself the subject of debates over his well-being and identity. Meanwhile, Meghan continues to face criticism and intense media scrutiny, both for her personal and professional choices. As the public watches closely, questions linger about the future of the Sussexes’ marriage and their place in the ever-evolving royal narrative.
