Meghan and Harry are Confident Their Strong Marriage will withstand time apart despite busy schedules, Insiders Claim
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly spending time apart as the Duke of Sussex makes efforts to reconnect with the royal family. According to insiders who spoke with OK! Magazine, Harry is feeling “torn” between his new life in the U.S. and a desire to rebuild ties with his family in the UK.
“Although he loves being in America and wouldn’t want to raise his children anywhere else, he is homesick. He misses big parts of his old life—not just his family, but also his friends and just being in England,” a source revealed.
Harry has made multiple trips back to the UK recently, including for events such as King Charles’ cancer diagnosis and the funeral of his uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes. However, Meghan has not accompanied him “for a variety of reasons.”
The Duke, who has previously expressed concerns about bringing Meghan and their children to what he describes as the “dangerous” UK, is reportedly reflecting deeply on his family relationships. “He knows his dad is getting older, and with Kate having cancer, it has scared him,” the insider shared. “He doesn’t want to be estranged from them, and the only way he can improve relations is by spending more time in the UK.”
However, this effort to reconnect comes with the challenge of spending more time apart from Meghan. “They’ve both made it clear she won’t come over,” the source added, though Meghan is said to be supportive of Harry’s efforts to repair family ties. Despite their time apart, sources say the couple is confident in their relationship. “They both have so much going on, and they can’t be together as much as they want, but they know they can survive this time apart as they have a strong marriage.”
Meghan, for her part, wants Harry to be happy and is reportedly saddened that their children don’t have a strong connection with their British relatives. “She would like that to change,” the insider noted. As Harry works on mending his relationship with the royal family, it is clear that both he and Meghan will need to rebuild trust with the royals to move forward.
