Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are currently navigating a period filled with notable developments, particularly concerning their children. They are preparing for a new phase as their children transition to a new school. However, the couple has encountered significant criticism regarding their choice of schools. This issue is just one among several they have faced scrutiny for; Harry, in particular, has come under fire for accepting an award that many feel he doesn’t deserve.

Despite residing in a splendid mansion in Montecito, California, and raising their children away from paparazzi in a peaceful environment, challenges persist. Reports suggest Harry and Meghan are grappling with marital difficulties, and Harry has expressed longing for the UK.

Presently, a royal expert has voiced concerns that Harry is deeply worried about the possibility of losing his wife, potentially leading to his return to the UK alone.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been embroiled in numerous controversies since stepping back from the royal family. Recently, the Duke has sparked significant attention in the US for his upcoming receipt of the Pat Tillman Award.

There has been public outrage over Harry receiving the award, with a Change.org petition urging ESPN to reconsider the decision amassing over 70,000 signatures.

Harry is scheduled to receive his award on Thursday amidst ongoing controversy. Alongside the thousands who signed the petition opposing his recognition with the Pat Tillman Award, US commentator Lee Cohen has also voiced criticism. In an opinion piece for The Sun, Cohen argues that Harry’s acceptance of the award is seen as an insult to veterans, given his decision to step away from his royal duties.

Amidst reports that Harry is taken aback by the backlash, royal expert Grant Harrold, who previously served as a butler to King Charles, shared with the New York Post that the Duke is not only saddened by the situation but also weighing his choices.

“It’s interesting that Harry’s nod has ruffled feathers. From my point of view, it’s a bit confusing,” Harrold commented, suggesting that Harry may contemplate turning down the award.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s marriage has been a topic of discussion lately. Grant Harrold concluded that Harry is “one of the most caring, kindest, and most gentle people you could ever meet,” and he feels saddened by the situation.

“He’d never want to cause any upset,” Harrold continued. “If he thinks that it is going to cause upset, then it is quite likely that he could decline the award . . . because he’d never want to cause any upset and it would affect him hearing about the backlash.”

Despite the controversy surrounding the award, reports suggest that things may not be going smoothly at home for Harry and Meghan. Several royal experts and sources from newspapers have raised concerns about this.

Harry has many friends in the US, but having lived there for a while now, he may be reconsidering whether it’s the right place for him.

According to Tom Quinn, Harry deeply misses his army and college friends. Unfortunately, they haven’t visited him in California because “they don’t get along with Meghan.” Consequently, reports indicate that the Duke is now searching for a more “permanent” home in the UK.

“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 stated.

Prince Harry is reportedly “petrified” of losing Meghan amid ongoing tensions with the royal family that may never fully heal. Princess Eugenie is said to be the only royal who has visited Harry and Meghan in the US. While there are reports that King Charles is considering a visit, the likelihood of Prince William and Kate Middleton traveling to Montecito is very low.

Rumors suggest that Harry is exploring the idea of finding a permanent home in the UK. Royal expert Hugo Vickers, author of the 2022 memoir “A Royal Life,” predicts that Harry will return to live in the UK permanently, but possibly without his wife.

In an interview with The Sun, Vickers described Harry as an “angry” person who is “petrified” of losing Meghan. Despite this fear, Vickers believes Harry will ultimately return to the UK.

Vickers further suggested that if Harry were to return, King Charles would warmly embrace him and allow him to rejoin the royal family as a working member.

There is a growing divide between Harry and Meghan

He remarked, “If you’re taking things out of life, at the risk of getting a lot of hate mail, I personally think that he looks like he’s petrified of losing her [Meghan] and looks slightly petrified of her.”

Harry and Meghan have embraced the limelight. The Duchess is reportedly keen to integrate into Hollywood’s elite, but there are reports that many celebrities and former acquaintances of the couple have distanced themselves. According to royal expert Tom Quinn, speaking to the Mirror, Harry and Meghan are encountering a stark reality check in their US and Hollywood experiences, which is placing strain on their relationship.

“There is a growing rift between Harry and Meghan caused by Meghan’s increasing concern that her life is not going in the direction she had planned,” Quinn explained. “She loves media attention and hates that surveys suggest she and Harry are no longer of much interest to the American public.”

“With news that the couple’s Netflix contract may be under threat, along with the mockery that greeted the launch of her online brand, Meghan feels very much under siege,” he stated.
