Sussex Crisis Point: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Relationship Strained by 'Growing Rift' and Recent Netflix Woes
The six-year union of Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, could be headed toward a conclusion.
"This has been such a tough few months for Meghan and Harry and the pressure they are under is a lot to handle, they feel they are constantly under attack," a source close to Team Sussex spilled.
"When they first left the royals, they had so much support and that support seems to be dwindling over time, and they're facing more and more criticism," they added.
The insider added: "Harry has been really hurt by the backlash over his award nomination and Meghan is still reeling over the Spotify axe as she loved doing that podcast, and she knows people want her to fail with her next project, so there's quite a lot of tension in the house at the moment."
Although the now infamous Spotify axing of Meghan's one-season podcast "Archetypes" occurred over one year ago, the Duchess of Sussex is rumored to "still b---- about losing her show and Spotify having the audacity to dump her like yesterday's trash," a Hollywood source revealed.
These revelations follow the fiery-haired Duke's controversial acceptance of the Pat Tillman Award at the 2024 ESPYs in Los Angeles, Calif., on Thursday, July 11.
"Where do you think they [Harry and Meghan] will be in 20 years time?" royal editor Matt Wilkinson recently asked veteran royal historian Hugo Vickers on "The Sun's Royal Exclusive" podcast
"I think he'll come home," the scribe replied when addressing Harry's long-term fate. "I think he'll come home, and if he comes home, we must be very nice to him because he won't particularly want to. He's quite angry I think."
The presenter then wondered if King Charles III, if still reigning, would welcome his youngest child back, to which Vickers shared: "Yes, I do. The King has left the door wide open for him to do that and he was doing such a good job before and... he looked so happy."
When asked by Wilkinson to name the biggest scandal the House of Windsor has faced in the last half-century, Vickers revealed: "I suppose the death of Diana in 1997 was a big crisis point, but, at the risk of being controversial, will the arrival of Meghan Markle prove to be a bigger one in the long run? Who knows?"
After the presenter shared that Harry's departure from the monarchy was his choice, the author poignantly said of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex: "I was in Windsor the day they got married, and the popularity and the goodwill towards them was enormous."
