Prince William 'worried' for Harry & Meghan after interview admission
As reported by a palace source, Prince William is worried about Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex as the Royal couple is believed to be in a fragile place
In the recent documentary Harry and Meghan: An African Journey Prince Harry opened up about the strained relationship with his brother Prince William after which the former claimed to be worried about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. A UK media outlet has cited a palace source to say that the Duke of Cambridge is concerned about the couple as they are in a fragile place. The source further states that Prince William hopes that Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex are all right.
The documentary follows the Royal couple's tour to South Africa and is believed to be made without consultation with senior courtiers, the Queen, Prince Charles or Prince William as the Buckingham and Kensington Palaces have gone into damage limitation mode, after former Meghan Markle spoke about the struggles of being a part of the Royal family. On the other hand, Prince Harry spoke about the need for management of his own mental health problems. The royal couple also spoke about how they were struggling with intense scrutiny from the British tabloid press as well.
A candid interview
As seen in the interview, Meghan was teary-eyed as she was sharing her struggle particularly after the birth of their first child, Archie. The duchess said that it was something very private and very real to her. She knew that nothing was going to be easy but that everything would be fair but it seems that's the part which is really hard to reconcile. Speaking on how she's coping with all of it, Markle said that she has been telling Harry that it's not enough to just survive something but thrive and be happy.
The Duke of Sussex claimed that he loves his brother “dearly” and but they are “certainly on different paths at the moment”. In the interview, Prince Harry confirmed that both the brothers had their issues but said “We are brothers. We will always be brothers.” The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Cambridge have been the focus of public speculation after Prince Harry and his wife moved to Frogmore Cottage near Windsor castle. They also created their own joint Instagram account, Sussex Royal, which fueled rumors of a feud between both the royal couples.
"We are certainly on different paths at the moment but I will always be there for him as I know he will always be there for me. We don't see each other as much as we used to because we are so busy but I love him dearly. The majority of the stuff is created out of nothing but as brothers, you know, you have good days, you have bad days."
