While the Sussexes made the bold choice to step down as senior royals and live a more independent life, a palace insider now tells New Idea that the Queen is concerned about the state of the young royals’ marriage.
“The Queen is now very nervous about Harry and Meghan’s relationship – this new divorce announcement puts a lot of pressure on them to stay together. She’s told them that they must work on their marriage in Canada and put each other first because the monarchy cannot handle more drama.”
Last week came the surprise announcement that Peter Phillips and his wife Autumn were divorcing after almost 12 years of marriage.
An official spokesperson issued a statement that said: “After informing HM The Queen and members of both families last year, Peter and Autumn jointly agreed to separate.”
It added: “They had reached the conclusion that this was the best course of action for their two children and ongoing friendship. The decision to divorce and share custody came about after many months of discussions and, although sad, is an amicable one.”
It’s been reported the couple informed the Queen while visiting Balmoral late last northern summer and, according to royals correspondent Richard Kay, she urged them not to make a hasty decision.
