A source told People magazine that ‘no one’ in the royal family’ is ‘checking in, texting or speaking to’ the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Last month, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle talked about their struggles with public scrutiny and royal life in the explosive ITV program Meghan and Harry: An African Journey.
Despite their honest confessions, a source said to People magazine that the relations between the couple and the rest of the royal family remain difficult.
“Nothing has changed. They don’t speak, no one is checking in, no one is texting,” the source said.
In the documentary aired last month, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex opened up about their struggles with media.
Meghan said she feels vulnerable and mentioned the struggles in coping with tabloid interest. “It’s not enough to just survive something, that’s not the point of life. You have got to thrive,” she expressed.
Harry didn’t deny the rift between himself and the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William. “We are on different paths at the moment,” he said.
After the documentary aired, Prince William was ‘concerned’ for Prince Harry, and hoped that the couple was ‘all right,’ according to reports.
Former royal correspondent Phil Dampier told Express that after the documentary aired Kate Middleton had contacted Meghan and was ‘doing her best to bring everyone together and help her.’
But a source and multiple insiders revealed that the coldness between the couples runs deeper than what outsiders think.
“There hasn’t been this complete 180. They don’t speak, no one is checking in, no one is texting,” they told People magazine.
One internet user commented: “The problem is that now that Meghan has transparently used People mag to get her version of events out there, anything People mag prints will be considered to be potentially coming from Meghan herself. So People magazine can pull stuff out of thin air, but it’s going to have credence because MM herself authorized friends to speak to People on her behalf.”
Another wrote: “Does anybody really care if they’re not speaking to each other? This happens in lots of families. Children grow up get married have their own children, parents pass away, grandparents pass away etc. that’s life.”
A third said: “They claim to want privacy to live their own lives as a ‘normal family’ (albeit paid for by the taxpayers), and then whinge when nobody phones or texts. What is to stop them from initiating contact? Or do they consider themselves too important to pick up the phone first?”
