Sources Detail the Struggles That Led to Harry’s Departure and the Strained Relations with the Royal Family
As Prince Harry approaches his 40th birthday on September 15, palace insiders have shared new insights into the difficulties that surrounded his departure from royal life. According to sources, efforts to support the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were complicated by the couple’s belief in conspiracy "at every turn," making them "exhaustingly difficult" to help.
Harry, reportedly unhappy with the "toxic atmosphere" in the UK, saw leaving as his only option. The decision to relocate to California in 2020, along with his wife, Meghan Markle, marked the beginning of a new chapter but also led to a deep rift with his family.
As Harry prepares to celebrate his milestone birthday with Meghan and their two children, no members of the Royal Family are expected to join. His relationship with Prince William remains "non-existent," with sources citing feelings of betrayal on the part of the Prince of Wales.
Despite ongoing tensions, Harry’s popularity in the U.S. remains strong, although he still faces challenges compared to his elder brother, Prince William, who tops the popularity charts in America.
