Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, finds himself in a state of discontent and frustration within his marriage to Meghan Markle, exacerbated by the influential presence of her mother, Doria Ragland.
These revelations stem from a newly published book by Tom Bower, a controversial biographer. According to Bower, Prince Harry feels increasingly confined and distanced from his friends and family, with Meghan and Doria assuming significant control over his life. They've established themselves in their mansion in Montecito, California, where they assert their rules and demands upon him.
Bower paints a picture of a relationship between Meghan and Doria that is manipulative and detrimental to Prince Harry's well-being. Allegedly, they exert a strong influence over his decisions, ranging from his career choices to his financial matters and media engagements. Moreover, they've orchestrated a deliberate isolation of Prince Harry from his former circle, replacing them with individuals from Hollywood who share their perspectives and agendas.
According to the book, Prince Harry feels a deep sense of loneliness and longing for his previous life in the United Kingdom, where he shared close bonds with his family members, including his brother Prince William, and comrades from his military service. Bower suggests that Prince Harry harbors regrets over certain actions, particularly public conflicts with the royal family and legal battles with British media outlets.
In the midst of this turmoil, Bower suggests that Prince Harry contemplates a significant decision: divorcing Meghan Markle and returning to the UK to mend fences with his family and resume his royal duties. However, his attempts are allegedly met with resistance from Meghan and Doria, who employ various tactics to maintain their hold over him, including emotional manipulation, financial demands, and using their children, Archie and Lilibet, as leverage.
While Bower's book has sparked controversy, with some accusing him of bias and sensationalism, others have found resonance in his depiction of Prince Harry's struggles. However, Meghan and Prince Harry have distanced themselves from the book, denouncing it as baseless and malicious. According to a source close to the couple, they maintain that they are content with their life in California, focusing on their charitable endeavors and family.
