Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to step down as senior royals and start a new life abroad was spurred on by their dream of living a happier and more peaceful existence.
But the snap decision to relocate their young family to LA has turned out to be anything but idyllic.
Taking place against the backdrop of the COVID-19 global pandemic, Harry, 35, Meghan, 38, and 1-year-old Archie quickly found themselves adjusting to their new US life while living in isolation.
Now, violent mass protests have broken out across the United States, sparked by the death in police custody of unarmed black man George Floyd.
A source tells New Idea that Harry is deeply troubled by what he’s witnessing in the US and that it’s becoming clear that their dream life isn’t panning out as hoped.
“It’s rapidly becoming a nightmare that no dad would ever want his baby son involved in,” the source reveals.
The source claims there have even been terrifying “fireworks, fighting and explosions” close to the royals’ bolthole mansion.
“The United States is a terribly violent place to be right now,” adds the source.
