A close friend of Prince Harry, former football star James Haskell,
revealed that the Duke of Sussex underwent a change in demeanor after marrying
Meghan Markle. Haskell reminisced about the times when Harry was known for his
jovial nature before the introduction of Meghan into his life.
Reflecting on the past, Haskell recalled, "Who should be there, wandering
around having a good time, but Prince Harry. He hadn't met her [Meghan] yet,
so he was still quite fun." However, he acknowledged the challenges faced by
Harry and Meghan, stating, "Everybody's entitled to an opportunity to say what
they want, and when someone feels like they and their partner have been
oppressed, lied about, contradicted, and put into a corner."
Despite the shift in dynamics, Haskell emphasized that he and Prince Harry maintained their friendship, but things were not the same as before. "I think it's very important. I ended up inadvertently being a big defender of his recently. I speak to him every night every now and again. We're just sort of comparing notes about kids always being ill," shared the former rugby player.
