'Stuck in the Past': Meghan Markle Moves on From Royal Feud While Prince Harry 'Broods' Over Old Drama
Prince Harry cannot move on from the hits and misses in his past life, which has reportedly put Meghan Markle "in the driver's seat" of both their marriage and careers.
"Meghan appears to have moved on to some extent, but then she was only part of the royal family for a relatively short time, and she has far more to focus on in the States than her husband has," royal author Tom Quinn shared.
"She's the main driver for their commercial enterprises in the States, where, having taken the dog for a walk each morning, Harry has a little to do beyond brooding over the past," he added.
He continued: "In Nigeria and even with Meghan at his side and regularly holding his hand, he still has a permanent look of bitterness on his face."
This led royal expert Lynn Carratt to share how "these faux royal tours could deepen their rift with the royal family if not handled correctly. Their Nigerian tour, bared all the hallmarks of a royal tour which was said to [have] infuriated the palace. I don’t believe the Nigerian tour helped to increase their popularity in the U.K. and U.S. But it did showcase to the African nations the work that [the] couple can do and will certainly have increased their popularity there."
In what is becoming a buildup for rival "royal tours," a source recently stepped forward and stated: "There is already a lot of talk and excitement in Ghana, everyone is so keen for Harry and Meghan to come and experience the great culture and warmth."
As The Royal Observer previously reported, both analysts and those near and within palace and Montecito mansion walls are taking a different view of the fiery-haired prince, who turns 40 on September 15.
"He is stuck in the past," a royal insider spilled about the fiery-haired prince and the book. "That memoir is nothing but dwellings on things that sometimes just cannot be changed. All that nonsense about Chelsy Davy, who has long since moved on with her life, that was 15 years ago."
They added: "It is one thing to get happily nostalgic or even bitter about something from years ago, but Harry lives with this every day. His mother's passing when he was only 12 may play a part in this, but he dictates his entire present on distant memories or slights from the '90s and 2000s. He cannot push forward."
Harry and Meghan are reportedly working on two different projects for their "struggling" five-year contract with Netflix, which expires in the fall of 2025. The Duchess of Sussex launched a new lifestyle brand called American Rivera Orchard in March.
