Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been married for more than five years. Their royal wedding was massive, but little did anyone know it wouldnât be long before theyâd be out of the Firm for good.
The Sussexes left royal life in early 2020 for what was considered a calm and private life. But we all know that didnât quite happen, as the couple spoke out and made shocking allegations against the royal family and its members.
Now, years later, it appears that at least Prince Harry could have doubts about whether he made the right choice to leave as heâs reportedly been looking for a âpermanentâ home in the UK. Meanwhile, a new bombshell claim has been made about the Duke and Duchessâ marriage â and how Prince Williamâs opinion upsets them.
Itâs extremely rare to see a royal family member sad or angry. Prince William, Kate Middleton, King Charles, and Queen Camilla, among others, are always on their best behavior when out on royal duty, smiling and speaking with members of the public.
Prince Harry revealed details about heated argument with Meghan in âSpareâ
However, behind closed doors, just like in any family or marriage, there will be arguments and different opinions on things. Even though Harry and Meghan arenât part of the royal family anymore, they have continued not to show any sad emotions in public, except for, of course, the many interviews they did regarding their royal past.
Harry and Meghan began dating in early 2016. The couple lived a life of luxuryâboth with Harry being royal and Meghan being a star actress with her performance on the show Suitsâbut still, they are just like any other couple when it comes to feelings.
In his book Spare, Prince Harry revealed that he and Meghan had a heated argument just months after they had begun dating.
The evening in December 2016 had been great, as Meghan had taught him how to roast a chicken. They listened to music and drank wine, but things took an ugly turn.
âMaybe the wine went to my head,â Harry wrote in Spare. âMaybe the weeks of battling the press had worn me down. For some reason, when the conversation took an unexpected turn, I became touchy. Then angry. Disproportionately, sloppily angry. Meg said something I took the wrong way. It was partly a cultural difference, partly a language barrier, but I was also just over-sensitive that night. I thought: Whyâs she having a go at me? I snapped at her, spoke to her harshly â cruelly.â
The Duke continued, âAs the words left my mouth, I could feel everything in the room come to a stop. The gravy stopped bubbling, the molecules of air stopped orbiting. Even Nina Simone seemed to pause. Meg walked out of the room, disappearing for a full fifteen minutes.â
Harry âlooking for permanent UK home,â royal expert claims
Harry continued describing how he went upstairs and found Meghan in the bedroom. He recalled her saying that âshe would never stand for being spoken to like that,â and asked Harry where the anger came from.
âWhere did you ever hear a man speak like that to a woman?â Harry recalled Meghan asking him. âDid you overhear adults speak that way when you were growing up? I cleared my throat, looked away. Yes. She wasnât going to tolerate that kind of partner. Or co-parent. That kind of life. She wasnât going to raise children in an atmosphere of anger or disrespect. She laid it all out, super-clear. We both knew my anger hadnât been caused by anything to do with our conversation.â
The Sussexes seem to live an extraordinary life in the US, raising their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Although the couple longed for a life far away from the royal one, now, it is claimed that Harry might not like his new life as much as he thought.
According to Tom Quinn, Harry misses his army and college friends dearly. Sadly, they havenât visited him in California because âthey donât get on with Meghan.â As a result, itâs been reported that the Duke is now looking for a âpermanentâ home in the UK.
âAs time goes by, Harry misses some aspects of his old life in the UK. Inevitably, the honeymoon period where everything in the States is new and exciting is coming to an end and Harry is looking back at the past through rose-tinted spectacles,â Quinn claimed.
He added: âHe misses his Old Etonian and army friends, many of whom have not visited as they donât get on with Meghan. Harry is determined to find his own permanent home in the UK, which is partly why heâs continuing his legal action to get the British taxpayer to pay for his security.â
Why Prince Harry is âpetrifiedâ about losing his wife
The Sussexesâ feud with the royal family has created wounds that might never be able to heal. Only one royal, Princess Eugenie, is said to have visited Harry and Meghan in the US. While King Charles is reportedly considering a visit, the odds of Prince William and Kate Middleton traveling to Montecito are very low.
But a trip to the US may not be necessary in a while. Harry is rumored to be looking for a permanent home in the UK in a bombshell claim made by royal expert Hugo Vickers, author of Prince Edwardâs 2022 memoir A Royal Life. He predicts that Harry will permanently return to live in the UKâbut not with his wife.
Speaking with The Sun, Vickers described Harry as an âangryâ person who is âpetrifiedâ of losing Meghan. Even so, the royal expert claimed Harry will return to the UK.
âI think heâll come home,â he told The Sun. âI think heâll come home, and if he comes home, we must be very nice to him because he wonât particularly want to. Heâs quite angry, I think.â
Vickers added that if Harry returned, King Charles would welcome him with open arms and let him back into the royal family as a working member.
âThe 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,â the royal expert continued. âUsually, youâre happy when youâre doing your duty and youâre doing it for other people and youâre putting things into life.â
âThere is a growing rift between Harry and Meghanâ
He concluded, âIf youâre taking things out of life, at the risk of getting a lot of hate mail, I personally think that he looks like heâs petrified of losing her [Meghan] and looks slightly petrified of her.â
Harry and Meghan have loved the spotlight. The Duchess is said to want to be part of the Hollywood elite, but reports state that many celebrities and former friends of the couple donât want anything to do with them anymore.
As Harry and Meghanâs experiences of US and Hollywood life are very different, royal expert Tom Quinn told the Mirror that the Sussexes are facing a stark reality check, which is putting pressure on their relationship.
âThere is a growing rift between Harry and Meghan caused by Meghanâs increasing concern that her life is not going in the direction she had planned,â Quinn said. âShe loves media attention and hates that surveys suggest she and Harry are no longer of much interest to the American public.â
âWith news that the coupleâs Netflix contract may be under threat, along with the mockery that greeted the launch of her online brand, Meghan feels very much under siege,â he added.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have had some challenging years. They barely have any contact with their royal side of the family, and now, a new claim made about them is once again putting them in the spotlight.
âThey believe their marriage is a true love storyâ
As per OK!, royal author Robert Jobson claims in a new book that Prince William feared Harry had rushed into marrying Meghan Markle just to be like his big brother, getting married and having children.
âWilliam does believe Harry was rushing into marriage with Meghan â because only he understands the pressure they would be under. Kate and William took their time with their relationship and even had a brief split, as William wanted to make sure Kate was ready and could handle royal life,â Jobson wrote.
According to an OK! source, Harry and Meghan are upset by it, which is causing friction in their marriage.
âIt upsets Harry and Meghan when this is mentioned, as theyâre still together, very happy, and have two gorgeous children. They knew from the start how they felt and they believe their marriage is a true love story and how theyâve overcome so much to be together,â the source told OK!.
âBut it does seem to put a strain on them and itâs like they have to constantly prove their marriage and happiness. They have lost family because of their marriage.â
The source added, âIt still pains them to this day and they wish it wasnât like this â but they have no choice. They have to remain strong for each other, as thatâs the only way they can get through all the speculation and criticism.â
