Prince Harry Reveals Life with Meghan Markle Isn’t What He Expected
Prince Harry has opened up about his life with Meghan Markle, admitting that it hasn’t turned out the way he had envisioned. A source has revealed that the Duke of Sussex is feeling the weight of his current situation, especially with his strained relationship with his family. Harry, who has spent much of 2024 on solo engagements, is reportedly hoping to make amends with his family in 2025.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex traveled to Nigeria in May and Colombia in August, but much of their year has seen them working separately. Harry’s solo trips took him to cities like Toronto, New York, London, and South Africa, while Meghan made surprise red-carpet appearances in Beverly Hills. This arrangement has led to speculation about their relationship, but the couple has downplayed rumors of separation.
Despite denying these rumors, Harry and Meghan are said to be struggling with their current lives. A source told Heat Magazine, “The life they’re living now isn’t what either of them had imagined from the beginning.” Harry is reportedly taking accountability for the ongoing tensions with his family, while Meghan places the blame on them, creating friction between the couple.
The rift between Harry and his family began five years ago when they stepped down as senior royals and moved to the U.S. This was followed by their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, where they discussed mental health struggles and accusations of racial bias within the royal family. Harry’s memoir, Spare, further deepened the divide, revealing personal family conflicts.
Now, Harry is said to be focused on healing the rift, expressing a strong desire to reconcile with his father, King Charles, and brother, Prince William. The source mentioned that Harry’s friends have noticed his growing homesickness and his inner turmoil about not being in a good place with his family. They also suggested that time apart from Meghan might be helping him reflect on his situation.
While Harry is eager to make peace, Meghan remains reluctant to return to the UK or apologize, according to the source. She is reportedly warming to the idea of reconciliation after seeing the royal family come together for Christmas celebrations. The couple has two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who have had limited contact with their royal relatives, further intensifying Harry’s feelings of regret.
Both Harry and Meghan are now reportedly ready to work together as a team to navigate the challenges they face. A source close to the couple said, “They want to make changes – but they have to work together as a team and both feel comfortable with what they’re doing.” The couple’s plans may involve more trips to the UK, as Harry has expressed his intention to visit his family as much as possible.
As the Sussexes continue to navigate their personal and professional lives, it remains to be seen how their relationship with the royal family will evolve in the coming year.
