Meghan Markle is branded the ‘caregiver’ in the Sussex family.
The Duchess of Sussex is seemingly the nurturing element in husband Prince Harry’s life and makes things easy for the Duke.
A source tells Vanity Fair: "You know how you meet those couples where you're like, the way they're looking at each other, I should probably not be here right now?"
They went onto describe that Meghan is "the one who makes things happen."
"Pre-Meghan, Harry would just pop in [to the palace press office], ask a few questions, and leave, like he was a little bored but also very keen."
The source continued: "I can picture him meeting Meghan and being just a deep breath of, like, 'I've been so exhausted, and you make everything so easy.'... I don't want to be like, oh, it's an Oedipus thing or whatever, but it kind of feels like she's reparenting him in a way."
This comes as Harry admitted in a 2019 statement that Meghan was dragged by the media for being an outsider in the Royal Family.
He said: "I've seen what happens when someone I love is commoditised to the point that they are no longer treated or seen as a real person. I lost my mother and now I watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces."
