Prince Harry is reportedly “petrified” of Meghan Markle and fears losing her, according to royal expert Hugo Vickers. The Duke of Sussex is said to be silently supporting his wife’s expanding business ventures out of fear that he might jeopardize their relationship if he does not stand by her.
Speaking to The Sun, Vickers offered a blunt assessment of Harry’s current situation within the Sussex household. “There are other people who are much better at telling you these things, there are other people who are better at doing cookery programmes,” Vickers remarked. “I mean, they’re sort of latching on to things, well, she is in particular. It’s just hard to see where it’s going.”

Vickers suggested that Meghan’s foray into multiple industries—ranging from lifestyle programming to business projects—appears increasingly scattered. Despite this, Harry appears committed to supporting her endeavors, perhaps more out of fear than strategic partnership.
“I hate to say it, but my feeling at the end of the day is that Prince Harry is petrified of her and petrified of losing her,” Vickers said candidly. The royal commentator went on to claim that Harry has not merely been a bystander to the couple’s decisions but an active participant. However, Vickers hinted that Harry may have been pressured into some of these moves.
“He’s been complicit in a lot of the things that have gone on, although I think he’s been made to do many things,” he added. Since stepping down from royal duties in 2020 and relocating to the United States, Harry and Meghan have pursued a range of new projects, from multimillion-dollar media deals to launching lifestyle brands.

Despite occasional successes, their ventures have also been met with public scrutiny and criticism, often putting additional strain on the couple’s public image. Vickers’ comments come amid broader speculation about the Sussexes’ future as entrepreneurs and public figures.

With Meghan recently unveiling new initiatives and Harry continuing to lend his support, the couple’s dynamic continues to fascinate both royal watchers and the general public.
As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex navigate their post-royal lives, opinions remain divided about whether their strategies are sustainable—or if, as Vickers suggests, deeper personal dynamics are influencing their choices behind the scenes.
Neither Prince Harry nor Meghan Markle has publicly responded to Vickers’ comments. However, the remarks are likely to fuel further debate about the inner workings of one of the world’s most scrutinized marriages.
