Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing many challenges in their lives right now.
They are raising their children in Montecito, California, where they enjoy a peaceful life away from paparazzi.
Recently, the couple made headlines as they prepared their children to transition to a new school. However, their choice of school has drawn criticism, adding to the scrutiny they face.
Prince Harry has been in the spotlight due to his upcoming acceptance of the Pat Tillman Award. Many people, including veterans, are upset about this and feel he doesn’t deserve the honor, given his decision to step back from royal duties.
A petition opposing the award has collected over 70,000 signatures, and US commentator Lee Cohen has criticized it as an insult to veterans. Amid this backlash, Harry is reportedly saddened and reconsidering his decision to accept the award.
Former royal butler Grant Harrold noted that Harry is kind and caring, and if the criticism becomes too much, he might decline the honor.
At the same time, reports suggest Harry and Meghan are experiencing tensions in their marriage. Harry is said to miss aspects of his life in the UK, including his army and college friends, who reportedly do not get along with Meghan.
Some royal experts believe Harry might consider returning to the UK permanently, possibly without Meghan. Princess Eugenie has been the only royal to visit Harry and Meghan in the US, and while King Charles might visit, there is little chance of Prince William or Kate Middleton traveling to Montecito.
According to Tom Quinn, Meghan feels frustrated with how her life in the US is unfolding. She reportedly dislikes that public interest in her and Harry is declining.
Meghan’s efforts to establish herself among Hollywood elites and launch an online brand have not gone as planned, creating more strain on the couple’s relationship.
I’m just Royal expert Hugo Vickers predicts that Harry will eventually return to the UK, where King Charles would welcome him back as a working royal.
However, the growing divide between Harry and Meghan raises questions about the future of their marriage and whether they can overcome these challenges together.
