Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly facing new tensions as efforts increase in royal circles to repair Harry’s relationship with his father King Charles.
A “Project Thaw” has been launched by Buckingham Palace in an effort to help the Duke of Sussex reconcile with the king, a palace insider told the US-based entertainment platform.
Efforts to bring father and son together have increased since they met face-to-face for the first time in more than 18 months in London last September.
However, the situation is said to be difficult for Meghan, who has spoken in the past about feeling unsupported during her time in the royal family.
A source said the Duchess of Sussex has little or no desire to return to the UK and wants to protect her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, from royal pressures.
Meanwhile, Harry is still hoping for better security arrangements that could allow trips to the UK, the insider shared.
“She knows deep down that Harry will never stop being a royal and their staying together depends on her accepting that,” the insider said.
He added, “After all their promises and plans for independence, this is a very hard pill to swallow.”
The report alleges that there are rumors that it is not certain whether Harry and Meghan will attend their next wedding anniversary.
“Harry and Meghan did not sign a prenup – that’s not something done in royal circles,” he said. “When they came to America they had high expectations that things would go their way.”
“But it’s been one disaster or disappointment after another, it’s just not possible to walk away from that,” the insider said, referring to his frequent business failures.
