The British royal family is not going through its best moment due to an “unprecedented crisis of representation.” Several prominent members have had to step out of the media spotlight due to illnesses, such as King Charles III and the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, who have battled cancer. Completely removed from this issue are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who live in California. However, now some experts are pointing to a possible crisis in their marriage as well.

According to royal biographer Tom Quinn, both are going through a very different life stage that is affecting their marriage. While the former Suits actress was criticized by the British press for “trying to steal the spotlight from Diana, Princess of Wales”, during the Trooping the Colour (on the day Kate launched her new brand’s dog biscuits), it seems that Harry is not going through a good moment.

It is widely known that the relationship between the youngest son of Charles III and the rest of the monarchy has been severely strained since he and his wife decided to step back from their royal duties in 2020 and move to live in the United States. However, the bond would be more weakened than ever, especially after the cancer diagnosis of King Charles III and his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton.

While Prince Harry did attempt to reconcile with his father, the Duke of Sussex’s stance towards his sister-in-law has been very different. There has not been a single public message of support during these months, nor a visit to London, as he did with his father. Everything suggests that the interest in her well-being may not have been as palpable as many had hoped, given that their relationship had always been very good, as the prince himself revealed on several occasions.

Prince Harry would miss his life in the United Kingdom

According to royal biographer Tom Quinn, as reported by The Mirror, Prince Harry “is finding the days long and lonely in his life with his wife, while Meghan Markle is in her natural environment.” The journalist suggests that abandoning his responsibilities as a member of the royal family is taking a toll on him, as well as the harsh comments he made about his family in various interviews and in his memoir. Now, the relationship with his family would be practically irreparable, something that would be affecting his mood.

“He is feeling the increasingly heavy weight of the disapproval of the royal family, which is affecting him like few times he has been seen before,” explains the specialized journalist. On the other hand, he points out that what has really frustrated Harry is that, initially, he thought his denials and absences would lead the family to make more efforts to convince him. “But those days are gone,” Quinn assures.

Therefore, the younger brother of the heir to the throne would not find a way to reconcile with his family. This reconciliation would allow him to travel regularly to the United Kingdom and escape from the linear and routine life he has found in California, where he resides with his children, Archie and Lilibeth, and his wife, the former actress Meghan Markle. Precisely, the Duchess of Sussex would be in a good moment, as she is residing in her country, with her surroundings and her people.

On the other hand, things could get complicated for Enrique if Donald Trump were to return to power in the United States. The former president stated that he would carefully review Enrique’s residency status due to the confessions about consuming hallucinogenic mushrooms and cannabis that he made in his memoirs.

“At first, Enrique thought this couldn’t happen to him, as normal rules don’t apply to a real prince, but he is increasingly realizing that in the United States being a prince doesn’t count for much. Enrique deeply regrets having made his drug addiction public. It never occurred to him that this could end up threatening his entire life plan,” Quinn states to The Mirror.
