More misery for Meghan & Harry

The relative calm that’s surrounded Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently was well and truly broken by a new German documentary that aired last week. Harry – The Lost Prince shines a spotlight on their new life as globetrotting charity ambassadors – but was deeply damning and has left Meghan feeling “hurt” and “betrayed” yet again, a source tells new.

It included a number of interviews with a former Metropolitan Police security chief, the couple’s Montecito neighbours – who said Meghan doesn’t “get involved in the community”, and even a veteran soldier from Harry’s days in Afghanistan.

“Both Meghan and Harry feel this is yet another one-sided take down of them and just want it all to stop,” our source claimed. “It’s like they can’t escape their past and are still being judged on things that happened over five years ago, but they know it gets people talking and makes money. Meghan feels hurt by a lot of people – but especially her neighbours, who she feels have betrayed her, rather than offering friendship and support.”

They added, “It was hard for her to make this move, with the eyes of the world on them, so she needed some friends, but obviously she was quite guarded because of what she’d been through. Meghan is very wary of getting close to people and trusting them and this documentary has confirmed she was right.”

The couple moved to upscale Montecito, California, after stepping away from royal duties in 2020. They’ve since shared the odd glimpse of life at their grand home, but those have been few and far between, as the couple shield Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet from the limelight.
