Prince Harry's Friends Refrain from Visiting Montecito Due to Meghan Markle

[Social Media]

 

In 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a significant life change, moving to Montecito, California, after stepping down from their royal duties. Despite the picturesque setting and their new life, reports suggest that Harry’s friends are reluctant to visit him, with many attributing this to Meghan Markle.

 

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have maintained a complex relationship with the Royal Family, have only visited the UK when necessary. Notably, in June, Harry’s absence was felt at the wedding of Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster and one of Harry’s closest friends and godfather to their son Archie. The wedding at Chester Cathedral saw no sign of Harry or Meghan, raising eyebrows and sparking further speculation about Harry’s current social circle.

 

 

Royal author and expert Tom Quinn shared insights with The Mirror, shedding light on Harry's social isolation. According to Quinn, Harry rarely sees his old friends, a situation he attributes to Meghan. He explained, "Harry is increasingly bored and looking back across the Atlantic where most of his army and school friends still live and whom he never sees because they won’t visit him in the States because they find Meghan difficult."

 

This sentiment was echoed during Harry’s trip to London for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. Instead of staying at a royal residence or reconnecting with old friends, Harry chose to stay alone in a hotel room. The Invictus Games ceremony took place at St Paul's Cathedral on May 8. Quinn noted that Harry’s reluctance to meet with old friends from his pre-Meghan days stems from his distaste for revisiting that part of his life. He also mentioned that Harry's military friends feel "betrayed" by his portrayal of his military service in his memoir, "Spare," and now feel they have little in common with him.

 

Adding to the complexity, many of Harry's old friends reportedly dislike Meghan and blame her for what they perceive as Harry’s transformation into "Harry the Hippy." This transformation has seemingly created a rift that has widened over time.

 

During Harry’s visit for the Invictus Games, the strain on his relationships extended to his family. While Harry was at the Invictus Games service, King Charles and a group of royals displayed unity at a Buckingham Palace garden party, held just two kilometers from St. Paul's. This proximity underscored the apparent divide between Harry and the rest of the royal family.

 

The combination of estranged friendships and family tensions highlights the profound changes in Harry's life since moving to the United States. The reluctance of his old friends to visit Montecito, coupled with strained family ties, paints a picture of a prince caught between two worlds, each pulling him in different directions.

Royal author and expert Tom Quinn ...

 

... talks a lot of BS ...

I would certainly only visit Harry if she was away at the time.

One day he's going to wake up and join the 50% of us that are divorced, IMO.

I can't believe I've just read this tittle-tattle, but as I ploughed through, I couldn't help thinking of Succession and how Logan Roy would have dealt with this family squabble.

I hear Logan shouting "<deleted> off" over and over again.

Why is this news? 

No one cares about the shenanigans of the royal family nowadays.

Megan sounds like a narcissist to me, I had a GF once who was like that, never liked my friends, and especially women friends, she thought she was above them all with a high sense of importance. .....

I don't blame them. Nothing worse than a good mate getting involved with a manipulating narcissist and becoming ensnared. 

 

I'd fly half way around the world to get away from his wife, but I certainly wouldn't do the same to see Harry if the drama queen was going to be there.

I've just spoken with H. and he's naturally extremely disappointed with your reactions. Nevertheless, he said that your're always welcome at his place if you change your minds.

Tell him to get his wife's permission first, and then I still won't consider it.

I'm sorry to say that you're probably right. Although they seem to have a strong bond and commitment to their marriage, the anti-Americanism and racism certain elements of the British populace have directed towards her have undoubtable had a corrosive effect on their marriage.

Well apparently someone does because the gutter UK press continually goes on making up nonsense about this Royal. Why they have decided to pick on this Royal who fought in combat for his country is bewildering. His adulteress father and stepmother would seem to be more appropriate for their loathing.

Had  no idea that the King was "two-spirited". 

 

No wonder the UK  media are still interested in the royal family.
