Harry Trapped In A Loveless Marriage ... Just Like His Mum
Woman's Day Australia|February 25, 2019

He’s got a celebrity wife and a baby on the way but with all the secrets and lies, is the prince beginning to think he’s made a big mistake?

Harry Trapped In A Loveless Marriage ... Just Like His Mum

With his lips pursed in fury and his usually animated blue eyes looking sunken and sad, Prince Harry must have been wondering how on earth his life has descended into such extraordinary chaos.

This time last year, Charles’ youngest son was putting the finishing touches on plans to marry stunning American actress Meghan Markle, the woman who stole his heart after years of romantic turmoil. But 12 months on, with a much longed-for baby on the way and at a time where he should be happier than ever, the big-hearted 34-year-old appears to be a broken man.

When the couple arrived at an event at London’s Natural History Museum last week, the Duchess of Sussex, 37, plastered a megawatt smile on her face and eagerly marched towards waiting fans....and royal watchers are drawing comparisons to Charles and Diana’s doomed marriage. Meanwhile, Harry tried his best to be warm and engaging, but onlookers say he was far from convincing.

“He was there in body but not in spirit,” says an onlooker. “He wasn’t as tactile as he usually is with Meghan, which was a surprise given they’re usually hand-in-hand at all times. He’s even stopped laughing and joking with photographers like he used to as well. Harry seems distant, like he has a lot on his mind.”

And a lot on his mind is an understatement. Woman’s Day is told that the late Princess Diana’s son is struggling to handle the never-ending farce his marriage has become in recent months, which reached boiling point two weeks ago when it was revealed his wife had spoken to US magazine People through friends, despite the royal family’s usual “say nothing” rule – especially when it comes to gossip.
