Prince Harry “heartbroken” over family divide
Prince Harry may be happy and loved up with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their son, Archie, in California – but reports say the family is reportedly “heartbroken” over family tensions that have raised since the pair decided to step down as senior members of the royal family.
A friend of the couple, journalist Tom Bradby — who toured southern Africa with the Sussexes for their documentary, Harry & Meghan: An African Journey — shared his own personal thoughts on the move during Sunday’s episode of ITV’s Love Your Weekend.
When asked if he believes the pair are happier in California, he said: “I think they are feeling better, yes … So are they unhappy? No, I think they are content, the things they are doing they are quite excited by.”
“I think he is heartbroken by the situation with his family. You don’t necessarily need to have knowledge to know that, but I think it is true.”
Bradby went on to say, “The situation with the family clearly isn’t ideal and it has been a very difficult year for them all, but are they unhappy out there? No, I don’t think that’s right, I think they are pretty happy actually, but I think they wrestle with their position in life, I think they all do. I think William does too, I don’t think he finds it easy.”
“There were phone and video calls over the Christmas and New Year holiday and the Sussexes sent presents to the Cambridges and vice versa,” royal expert Katie Nicholl told ET. “Things are a lot better between William and Harry. If you go back a year at that stage, these brothers were barely on talking terms.”
