Prince Harry has been warned that one of the key qualities that drew him to Meghan Markle might not endure in the long run, according to a royal expert. Royal expert Tom Quinn portrayed the Duke of Sussex as "a lost little boy" with Meghan compensating for his perceived weaknesses.

"No one has ever doubted that Harry and Meghan do not have an equal partnership when Harry famously said, 'what Meghan wants Meghan gets,'" he said.

"Harry has always come across as a lost little boy, overprotected by the Royal Family as a child and then suffering the death of his mother he has always seemed unsure and indecisive, always searching for a strong partner who makes up for his own weakness."

According to Quinn, Meghan is "very much that partner" for her husband. He added: "For now, Harry loves the fact that Meghan gives him some of the backbone he always lacked, but her dominance in the relationship may not always be welcome - what charms us and delights us early on in a relationship doesn't always stand the test of time."

The pair, who have been married since 2018, stepped back from their royal duties in 2020 and recently celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary. They currently reside in Montecito, California, with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Meghan Markle struggles to 'find staff' for new lifestyle brand as duchess dealt warning

Meghan Markle is said to be struggling to find staff for her new brand, American Riviera Orchard for one key reason, according to a royal commentator.

The Duchess of Sussex soft launched her latest lifestyle brand earlier this year by landing a new Instagram page as well as a website.

American Riviera Orchard's page only featured a logo, a bio that said "by Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex" and linked to the website where people can join a waiting list.

Since March, the only update on the duchess's newest business venture was the debut of the first product to be sold under the brand's name, a jar of strawberry jam, given to 50 influencers to taste test.

However, the brand's momentum seemed to have been driven to a halt and now a royal commentator spoke to the Mirror and claimed it's all down to Meghan wanting staff that are "full of their own ideas" while also being "compliant to her wishes".

Princess Diana author shocked Prince Harry didn't ask for secret recordings of her

Princess Diana author Andrew Morton has said he was shocked Prince Harry didn't ask to listen to secret tapes of his mother for his memoir.

The author has spoken previously of how Diana's friend, James Colthurst, would act as an intermediary, using Mr Morton's questions to interview the princess, recording her answers and delivering the tapes to the author.

Diana revealed multiple suicide attempts, details of an eating disorder and the relationship between King Charles, then Prince of Wales, and his then mistress, Camilla Parker Bowles.

Reaction to the book was explosive, as members of the public previously believed Charles and Diana were enjoying a fairytale marriage.

Prince Harry torn apart for 'becoming more like Meghan Markle' with 'disturbing' move

Prince Harry has "worrying echoes" similar to Meghan Markle's behavior within her own family, claims a royal expert.

The comment comes as Prince Harry decided to turn down an invitation to Hugh Grosvenor and Olivia Henson's wedding on June 7, despite Hugh being the godfather of Prince Archie.

Diary editor of the Daily Mail, Richard Eden, told Palace Confidential, that Harry wanting to be apart from his friends and family was concerning.

Richard said: "It does have worrying echoes for me of the way that Meghan has become estranged from her own family. You might remember that few members of her family were present at the royal wedding."

He added: "Prince Harry hasn't even met his father-in-law. For me, I do find it slightly disturbing."

Prince Harry 'unravelling' under pressure as 'concerned Meghan Markle begins detox plan'

Meghan Markle is said to be hoping for a summer of "healing and non-confrontation" for her husband Prince Harry following his recent stressful time, which has included court battles and a hefty workload, as well as his family health news back home.

The Duke of Sussex is said to be "struggling" with being estranged from his family in the UK following King Charles' and Princess Kate's respective cancer news.Back in February, a form of cancer was found after King Charles underwent treatment for an enlarged prostate. At the time, Buckingham Palace said the monarch had started having "regular treatments" and postponed public duties while doing so. They added Charles "remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible".A month later, Princess Kate announced in a video message that she also had cancer after undergoing abdominal surgery in January. She has since been having a course of preventative chemotherapy. Following the King's diagnosis, Harry returned to the UK for a whirlwind visit, which included a brief meeting with his father.

Just under three months later, the Duke came back to the UK again for the Invictus Games in London, but didn't get to see the King as the latter was too busy. Now back in America, where he lives with Meghan and their two children Archie and Lilibet, a source has claimed he is struggling.

They told Heat Magazine: "Meghan's proud of how Harry's been handling the stress, but recently he's been starting to unravel.He's less able to remove himself from the situation than she is, as he's still clinging onto the hope of a family reconciliation that she feels isn't going to happen. It's much more painful for him because he's not been getting any proper updates on Kate or his dad."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 'worried sick' over being 'kicked out of US' if Trump wins

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to be "worried sick" about being "kicked out" of the United States if Donald Trump becomes the next president.

Trump has previously hinted he would be prepared to revoke Harry's visa should he win the forthcoming election, meaning the Duke of Sussex would have to return to the UK.

It comes after questions have been raised about Harry's visa application, following claims he made about drug use in his explosive memoir, Spare.

A source claimed to New Idea: "The Sussexes are worried sick over the prospect of Donald Trump becoming president again - and making good on his vow to kick Prince Harry out of America.

"They're putting together a contingency plan that would see them flee the country with their children [Archie and Lilibet] if Trump does return to office."

Trump had previously told GB News that 39-year-old Harry would receive "no special privileges" when it comes to his status in the USA.

He pledged to take "appropriate action" should he discover Harry "lied" on his visa application, refusing to rule out deporting the Prince.

Speaking with Nigel Farage, Trump said: "We'll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they'll have to take appropriate action."

Meghan Markle's return to acting teased as filming starts on new Suits spin-off

Meghan Markle's possible return to Suits has been at the centre of discussions recently, as filming for the legal drama's LA spin-off is well underway.

The Duchess of Sussex starred as Rachel Zane in seven seasons of the hugely successful Netflix show which ran from 2011 to 2019.

But she left in 2018 after getting married to Prince Harry and moving to Britain.

However, as she has now stepped down as a senior working royal, the 42-year-old would be free to rejoin the hit series again, had she wanted to.

Suits: L.A. will focus on a new character called Ted Black, a former New York prosecutor who built an LA law firm that specialises in criminal and entertainment law.

Meghan's appearance has not been officially confirmed, however, her possible return was teased by her former co-star Patrick Adams during this year's Golden Globes.

Mr Adams told Entertainment Tonight: "Sure. Mike and Rachel in Seattle. They gotta come down to LA. they gotta fix some stuff."

Real reason Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are no longer friends with the Beckhams

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's breakdown of their relationship with David and Victoria Beckham was down to one of the Sussexes's key moves, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had been enjoying a close relationship with the Beckhams, with Harry and David being reportedly friends for years and Meghan even endorsing Victoria's brand.

But the Montecito couple's departure from the Royal Family and subsequently Britain has had an effect on their once-concrete bond, according to a royal expert.

Veteran royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams suggested that the royal couple's bashing against the royals was the catalyst for their friendship falling to bits as he described the Beckhams as "very patriotic".

"I suspect strongly, and this is just my view, that they didn't like the way the Sussexes monetized their Royal connections for gain."

Prince Harry gets 'very upsetting shock' over Meghan Markle statement

Prince Harry has had a “very upsetting shock” after his strongly worded defence of wife Meghan Markle was quietly deleted by the Royal Family.

The Duke of Sussex issued the statement against the press in November 2016 as he raged at the media for “racial undertones” in regards to his then girlfriend Meghan. But in a surprising move Harry’s staunch defence has been removed from royal.co.uk after seven years.

Now, royal author Tom Quinn, claims the removal was a "very upsetting shock" for Harry.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, he said: "The statement was a scathing attack on the press and King Charles knows that he needs to keep the press on the side and work with rather than against the media.

"For Harry removing the statement will be a real and very upsetting shock – he will see this as the Royal Family shutting him down, erasing an important part of the anti-media crusade Harry has waged for so long."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's 'last friends' in Royal Family now backing Prince William

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's "last friends" in the Royal Family have been spotted "supporting" Prince William, having reportedly "turned their backs" on the Sussexes.

Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice have been long-time friends of Harry, with Eugenie even visiting the Duke and Duchess at their US home in 2022.

However, the York sisters were recently spotted at a Buckingham Palace garden party supporting Prince William, while he continued with royal duties as his wife, Princess Kate recovers from cancer treatment.

Writing to her 1.8 million Instagram followers, Eugenie said: "Come rain or shine, I was delighted to support my family yesterday."

Prince Harry's Eton and Army friends 'won't visit him' for key reason

Prince Harry's old Etonian and army friends do not visit him because some of them have disagreements with his wife, Meghan Markle, a royal commentator has claimed.This comes as Prince Harry is determined to find his home in the UK, after being evicted out of his and his wife's former royal home, Frogmore Cottage, after the publication of Harry's bombshell memoir, Spare.Royal commentator, Tom Quinn, told the Mirror: "He misses his Old Etonian and army friends, many of whom have not visited as they don’t get on with Meghan. As 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."

Prince Harry fans gush over 'heartwarming' clip that reminds them of Princess Diana

A "heartwarming" video of Prince Harry has resurfaced from seven years ago, and Royal Family fans reckon it shows just how much the Duke of Sussex is like his mother, Princess Diana.

The video has been shared on X (formerly Twitter) and shows Harry at the Invictus Games - the sports event he founded for injured and sick servicemen and women - in 2017, when it was hosted in Toronto, Canada.

Harry is seen taking in the event from the sidelines, watching on with a bowl of popcorn, initially oblivious to the fact that the young girl sitting next to him is stealing his snacks.

The Duke of Sussex then realises what's happening and jokingly pulls the popcorn away from the girl before handing her some. He repeatedly pulls the popcorn away before offering it her back, all while he and the woman looking after the young girl are giggling.

Prince Harry and Meghan 'frauds' over Archie and Lilibet decision

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were slammed by a royal commentator who called them out on their "elitism" and accused them of being "frauds" over their school plans for their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Harry has attended some of the most prestigious schools in England, including Ludgrove for prep school and Eton College, whereas Meghan went to Immaculate Heart High School, an all-girls Catholic school in Los Angeles.

Now US-based journalist Lee Cohen has blasted the couple saying that it's "infuriating" how they, "the self-proclaimed champions of equality and social justice, are even contemplating enrolling their children in an in an exclusive, outrageously expensive school".

He told GBN America: "Their supposed commitment to progressive causes is nothing but a facade. If they're willing to indulge in this epitome of elitism, there is no advocating for equality. Yet they're willing to pay staggering tens of thousands per year for their children's education.

"How can they possibly justify this when so many families struggle to afford even the basic necessities? Sending their children to such a prestigious institution completely exposes the frauds that Harry and Meghan are. By perpetuating the very systems of privilege that they claim to expose."

Meghan Markle would never have gone to Duke of Westminster's wedding due to one key reason

Meghan Markle would never have joined her husband Prince Harry on a trip back to the UK, had the royal decided to attend his good friend, the Duke of Westminster's wedding on Friday for one key reason, a royal commentator has claimed.

Harry and William share a close relationship with Hugh - named Britain's richest person under 40 - with both of the brothers making him godfather to their sons, Prince Archie and Prince George.

But while sources claimed Harry and Hugh reached a "mutual agreement" that it would be best for him not to attend, it has become clear that had he chosen to do otherwise, Meghan wouldn't have travelled with him due to concerns regarding their security in the country.

The Telegraph's royal editor Hannah Furness recently told Hello!'s A Right Royal Podcast: "There is quite a heavy narrative that Meghan and the children won't be coming back until they can resolve this security issue to their liking.

"But he [Harry] will certainly be coming and going."

King Charles will 'never' cut ties with Prince Harry over Archie and Lilibet 'sadness'

King Charles is engulfed in "great sadness" due to the strained relationship with his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, which ensures he would "never" sever ties with Prince Harry.

That's according to a Royal expert who claims that the monarch's battle with cancer has intensified his desire to connect with his grandchildren, making the situation "all the more poignant" as he faces the reality that his time is not infinite.

In her latest work, 'My Mother and I: The Inside Story of the King and Our Late Queen', Ingrid Seward reveals: "Family has always been important to the King. He remembers his own somewhat fragmented childhood as his parents were always busy doing their duty. It is a great sadness to him he doesn't see more of Archie and Lilibet."

Seward further explains the King's stance, saying: "That is why he will never break ties with Harry. He does not want a FaceTime relationship with his son's children. He wants to know them and be involved with their lives while they are still young enough to be able to learn from his wisdom. His cancer has made it all the more poignant to him as he knows that he won't be around forever."

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry 'not on same page' as Duke enters new stage in life

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry appear to be on different pages as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex focus on different priorities, experts have suggested.

Author Tom Quinn said he believes while the Duchess of Sussex is concentrating on their life in the US, the Duke of Sussex "broods over the past".

Mr Quinn claimed: "Meghan appears to have moved on to some extent, but then she was only part of the Royal Family for a relatively short time. She has more to focus on in the States than her husband has."

He told the Mirror that Meghan is the main driver of the Sussexes' commercial ventures in the US, while Harry "has a little to do beyond brooding over the past".

Prince Harry and William's family disputes sparked resentment over Charles' response

Prince Harry has always been frustrated with how his father King Charles, handles family disagreements with Prince William, according to a Royal expert.

The Duke of Sussex is faced with a difficult decision this Father's Day as he grapples with arranging a call with his father, whom he hasn't seen in months.

However, he is expected to send the King a "warm message" because "It's easy to forget that Harry really does love his father", says Tom Quinn, a Royal author and expert.

As Father's Day looms, Royal commentator Tom Quinn has shared with the Mirror: "King Charles' birthday and Father's Day are both a nightmare for Harry. He knows the world will be watching to see whether he is big enough to reach out to his father. He is determined to try to ignore his troubled relationship with his father and he will certainly send a warm message. It's easy to forget that Harry really does love his father, he just hates the fact that Charles seems always to support William when there is a family dispute."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle blasted over latest 'deliberate choice' to take control

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a "deliberate choice" for their recent trip to Nigeria, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the West African nation last month to champion mental health initiatives for soldiers and empower young people as they celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.

The couple chose to take their good friend Misan Harriman as their official photographer for the duration of the trip.

The 46-year-old posted a series of snaps from the couple's trip on his social media accounts.

Now a royal commentator touched down on the Sussex couple's "deliberate move" to pick Mr Harriman which shows they want to "control the narrative".

Royal author Gareth Russell told GB News: "The Sussexes have shown themselves to be very concerned with controlling the narrative.

"Taking their own photographer allows them a great deal of control over what images are circulated on images they choose.

"I do think the choice of photographer was a deliberate one."

The real reason why Meghan Markle could seriously struggle to make acting return

Meghan Markle would likely face major issues were she to try to relaunch her acting career now she's no longer a working royal, an expert has warned.

Since stepping back as a senior working royal with her husband Prince Harry, speculation about Meghan returning to her former career has been rife.

However, it's believed that re-entering the world of on-screen entertainment could prove "very difficult" due to the significant changes since her last role approximately seven years ago.

Mr Quinn exclusively revealed to the Mirror: "Harry and Meghan have talked about the possibility of Meghan going back into acting if the couple's commercial ventures fail but things have moved on since Meghan last acted which might make it very difficult to make a comeback."

Prince Harry continues to be frozen out as he 'struggles to schedule call with the King'

Prince Harry is continuing to be frozen out as he "struggles to schedule call with King Charles", an expert has claimed.

After flying over to UK hours after news of the monarch's cancer diagnosis became public in February, the 39-year-old failed to meet with his father during his short visit to Britain last month.

The reason was put down to their conflicting schedules, with royal expert and author Tom Quinn now saying that Harry is enduring a "nightmare" as Father's Day fast approaches.

Prince Harry 'put on backburner' after huge move shifts focus to Meghan

The motives for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's trip to Nigeria have been questioned by royal expert Rupert Bell, as he claimed the focus seemed to have shifted away from the Invictus Games.

With the revelation that Meghan is 43 percent of Nigeria heritage, Mr Bell told TalkTV that in the aftermath of the visit, much of the attention has been on her.

He explained: "The visit, which I'm sure was deemed to be about Invictus, but all of the fallout from it seems to be about Meghan. Harry's role in trying to drum up support for Invictus seems to have been put on the backburner."

Harry and Meghan face dire consequence if they ignore key advice

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been told they must stop "slagging off the Royal Family" if they want to rebuild their brand, a royal expert has said.

Phil Dampier told The Sun’s Royal Exclusive the Sussexes have "made their point" with their Netflix series and Harry's book Spare.

He said: “They've got new PR people and if they listen to their PR people - sometimes people don't listen to their PR people - but if they listen to their PR people, I'm sure they're telling them that right, you've made your point, you've had Spare, you’ve had Netflix, you’ve had the Oprah Winfrey interview, you've got it all off your chest.

“Now's the time to row back a bit and try and try and build some bridges or at least create a life for yourself.”

Royal expert reveals one way Harry and Meghan are trying 'to punish somebody' amid rift

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are trying "to punish somebody" amid their ongoing rift with the Royal Family, an expert has claimed.

Harry began a lawsuit against the Home Office in 2020 after changes were made to his security in the UK after he stepped down as a senior workin royal. The 39-year-old later moved to the US, where he has now lived with Meghan and their two children for the past four years.

Speaking to TalkTV about the security battle, royal expert Kinsey Schofield said that it seems as thought the couple are trying to "punish somebody" by dragging it out.

As reported by livemint.com, Ms Schofield said: "Meghan not coming during several of the last visits, Harry refusing to stay at the Palace. It's almost as if they're trying to prove their point by saying, 'Well, Meghan can't come. She's not safe enough. Harry can't stay at the Palace, it's not safe enough.

"It feels they are creating this distance to punish somebody and to prove some point but the reality is that's the safest Harry would have been."

Prince Harry 'determined to find permanent UK home' for heartbreaking reason

Prince Harry is reportedly on a mission to establish a 'permanent' base in the UK, with a royal commentator suggesting he's yearning for a foothold back in his homeland.

Since stepping away from the royal spotlight in 2020 and setting up life in the US with Meghan Markle, the Duke of Sussex has been without an official UK residence following their eviction from Frogmore Cottage last year. Now, it appears Harry is eager to secure a British home base.

Speaking to the Mirror, Royal author Tom Quinn shared insights: "As 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."

Quinn further revealed: "He misses his Old Etonian and army friends, many of whom have not visited as they don't get on with Meghan. Harry is determined to find his own permanent home in the UK, which is partly why he's continuing his legal action to get the British taxpayer to pay for his security."
