The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have been making headlines with their decision to step back from their prominent roles in the British royal family.
While this move has raised concerns within the monarchy and among their friends, there's another aspect that has raised questions. It appears that Prince Harry had distanced himself from some of his long-time friends a few months before the birth of his son, Archie.
According to an insider quoted by People magazine, the prince chose to sever ties without providing any explanation, leaving many of his friends bewildered and even without his latest contact information.
"His friends completely understand that men sometimes grow apart from their friends after marriage, but there is still a lot of lingering resentment because they had been very close for an extended period," the insider revealed.
Furthermore, this source suggested that the strain in Prince Harry's relationships with both his friends and the royal family began when his brother, Prince William, second in line to the British throne, expressed concerns that Harry and Meghan were moving too quickly in their relationship.
While reports indicate a strained relationship between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the royal family, the couple's recent decision to step back from their royal duties was seen as their only viable option. However, it's worth noting that William and Harry, in a recent statement, denied having a bad relationship, showing a desire for unity within the family.
