Meghan Markle 'stands firmly' by Prince Harry side as duke faces 'painful rift' with royal family

Meghan Markle reportedly "stands firmly" by her husband Prince Harry’s side as the duke still faces "a painful rift" with his family including father King Charles, brother Prince William and others.

This has been disclosed by royal insider while speaking to the People magazine, per the Fox News Digital.

The royal source close to Meghan and Harry, claims the Duchess "wishes her husband could feel less burdened by the past and more present in the life they’ve built together."

Commenting on this, royal expert Hilary Fordwich told the Fox News Digital, "Harry’s continued dwelling on the past is rooted in his unresolved personal grievances and an out-of-touch desire for public accountability.”

The royal expert went on saying, "His every public move further damages any chance of reconciliation.

"The senior royals now view that as totally out of the question. The royal family’s lack of trust in Meghan Markle is… rooted in the perception that she catalyzed the current rift, regardless of Harry being more vocal."

The insider further said, "They’re aware of everything going on in England, but they’re being left out of the details — there’s clearly no trust."

The fresh claims came amid reports Meghan and Harry's decisions on third child have triggered more tension in their seven-year marriage.
