Tensions between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the rest of the British Royal Family appear to have reached a critical point.
According to insider sources at the Palace, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, has been secretly meeting with Prince Harry, encouraging him to reconsider his relationship with Meghan and, perhaps, to end their marriage.
Since "Megxit" transpired over two years ago, relations between Meghan and the Royals back in the UK have been strained, to say the least. Numerous reports have surfaced of demands, hurt feelings, and significant fallout between the couple and Harry's family.
Despite attempts to present a united front in public, rumors suggest that behind closed doors, their marriage has been on shaky ground for some time. Prince Harry is reportedly unhappy and conflicted, struggling with life in California, far from his family and homeland. Similarly, Meghan is said to be finding life in Montecito difficult and isolating, with few close friends and relying almost entirely on Harry for companionship. The pressures of their situation have allegedly put a great strain on their relationship.
At the same time, Sarah Ferguson has maintained close relationships with both Prince Harry and Prince William over the years, despite her own separation from Prince Andrew. She has remained a trusted confidante and a maternal figure to the princes. When Harry recently reached out to Sarah in despair over his current marital and personal struggles, she stepped in to offer her support and guidance. According to sources, Sarah has been secretly meeting with Harry on a nearly weekly basis, both in the United States and the United Kingdom, offering him advice based on her own life experiences.
Crucially, Sarah is said to have urged Harry to seriously reconsider his marriage to Meghan, questioning whether staying with her is truly in his best interest or that of the monarchy. In Sarah’s view, Meghan has caused significant damage to the Royal Family through her actions and allegations, and this damage, she believes, cannot easily be forgiven. According to these reports, Sarah sees Meghan as a negative influence on Harry, who has changed significantly since their marriage. In her candid conversations with Harry, Sarah has reportedly emphasized the ways in which Meghan has disrespected senior Royals, including Queen Elizabeth, and how her actions have created a deep rift between Harry and his family—particularly with his brother, Prince William.
Sarah has also pointed out Meghan's apparent inability or unwillingness to adapt to the values and standards expected of members of the Royal Family, especially regarding public service and duty. Sarah reportedly believes that for Harry’s own well-being, career prospects, and the restoration of his relationships with his family, separating from Meghan may be his only viable option. She is said to be providing emotional and strategic support to Harry as he contemplates an amicable separation that minimizes harm to all involved.
Ultimately, any decision to end his marriage would rest with Harry alone, but sources suggest that Sarah’s advice may be starting to influence him. Harry is reportedly wavering like never before, quietly considering the possibility of life after Meghan. Meghan herself is said to have noticed a change in Harry’s demeanor in recent weeks, leading to deep anxiety on her part. Fearing that the end of their marriage may be near, Meghan is reportedly panic-stricken, worried about losing her primary support system in Harry.
While the couple continues to maintain a united front in public, behind closed doors, tensions are reportedly running high. Sources say Meghan has been reacting with anger and distress, lashing out at Harry in response to her underlying insecurities. She is desperately trying to understand the source of the growing distance between them and bring Harry back under her influence. However, Sarah’s calm and rational presence may be a powerful force, one that Meghan is struggling to contend with. In the coming weeks or months, the situation could come to a dramatic head, depending on how strongly Harry commits to his newfound sense of independence and whether he ultimately chooses to walk away from his marriage.
