The father-of-two has confided in his friends that life with Meghan has turned out differently from what he initially projected. According to him, his wife is all in on her career and often forgets to tend to the emotional side of her life, too, where he is primarily involved.

The insider continued that the Prince's expectations are also very demanding, leaving everyone around her on the edge as the day passes.

Harry's feeling of neglect by his darling wife does not mean he is less proud of her achievement, especially as she had just had a sold-out back-to-back launch of her "As Ever" products.

It is no longer surprising that Harry and Meghan have found themselves on the pages of tabloids countless times with speculations that their marriage was heading for the rocks.

According to an insider, the current problem in their marriage is that Meghan is unwilling to let go of some of her tasks and make time for Harry instead. Her husband now feels so sidelined in the union that he mostly idles around while she is engrossed in brand meetings and calls.

Harry and Meghan reportedly once treated spending time together as sacred and non-negotiable, but now, the royal complains that he has to practically book a slot to see his wife.

The current situation of the couple's marriage may not have come as a shock to the late Prince Philip, who bore a grudge towards them for the manner they exited the royal palace before his death.

As noted by The Blast, while he attended the wedding in the middle of his recovery from hip surgery, it did not do much to fully convince him that Harry had not picked the wrong wife.

According to a former royal butler, Grant Harrold, Philip's reaction to the conclusion of the couple's wedding ceremony at St. George's Chapel raised suspicion. The butler noted that when the Prince emerged from the chapel, he turned to the Queen and literally muttered, "Thank f-ck that's over."

Till his death, Harry's grandfather could not understand why his grandson chose marriage to an "American divorcee" over the crown.

In his latest round of controversy, the Prince failed to win hearts after his latest grand gesture to pay a tribute to Prince Philip by sending a friend over to lay a wreath at his gravesite.

"It looks like he was trying to tug at the heartstrings and remind the family of his military credentials. It feels calculated – and people are calling it sniveling," one source shared.

Another insider added that Harry's tribute was not cleared with royal officials, further boosting narratives that it was a favor-seeking measure at such a delicate moment. The source said that Harry has made himself the face of manipulation by ensuring his gesture was seen and reported.
