The Duchess of Sussex’s dominant role in Harry’s life sparks concern from Princess Kate.
Princess Kate’s concerns about Prince Harry’s life with Meghan Markle have seemingly been validated, as new revelations highlight the Duchess of Sussex’s pivotal role in her husband’s personal and emotional well-being.
According to Vanity Fair, Meghan has taken on a “reparenting” role for Harry, offering him the support and approval he seeks amid his struggles with anxiety and fears of media scrutiny. Since the death of Princess Diana, Harry has been deeply affected by unwanted public attention on his family, reportedly finding solace in Meghan’s caregiving nature.
An insider shared, “Meghan is the ‘caregiver and facilitator’ in their relationship—the one who makes things happen. It’s as though she’s reparenting him, giving him a sense of ease and comfort he’s longed for.”
The source added, “You know those couples where the way they look at each other makes you feel like you shouldn’t be there? That’s Harry and Meghan. Meeting Meghan seems to have been a breath of fresh air for Harry.”
Princess Kate, however, has reportedly voiced concerns about Harry feeling sidelined in Meghan’s projects, such as her Netflix show, which insiders suggest focuses primarily on Meghan. According to Heat, Kate worries that Harry’s reduced visibility in their joint ventures might leave him feeling excluded.
As Meghan’s dominant role in their dynamic becomes more evident, Kate’s fears reflect the growing distance between Harry’s new life in Montecito and his ties to the royal family. While Harry appears to find stability in Meghan’s care, the evolving dynamics have sparked questions about his independence and role in their partnership.
