Prince Harry made a big revelation when he addressed his rift with big brother, Prince William, in the controversial ITV documentary, Harry & Meghan: An African Journey. The Duke of Sussex admitted that they are on "different paths." As the father-of-one didn't reveal the reason behind it, some people believed Meghan Markle had something to do with it.
A fan questioned if Meghan is the reason why Prince Harry and Prince William are on "different paths." In the online forum site Quora, some royal fans are convinced that the Duchess of Sussex is the one behind the rift, while others think their feud has something to do with their position in the monarchy.
Ambika Shetty Khan, who studied the British royal family, is confident that Meghan is the reason why the siblings are on different paths. As she believed in the saying that "a woman could make or break a house," the Duchess of Sussex might have a role with the rift.
As Meghan's marriage with Prince Harry doesn't mean that she will only be with the Duke of Sussex, she has to be on good terms with other royal family members. Rumors have it the former actress also has a rift with Prince William's wife, Kate Middleton, so it may add up to the reason of the feud of her husband to his brother.
Gayle Edwards added that Meghan Markle has "little to no" relationship with her own family. So, she might have no idea how a healthy family relationship works. She claimed that the former Suits star might be bringing Prince Harry away from his family so she could own him and build a close family relationship with only the three of them.
However, the self-confessed royalty-obsessed Elizabeth Anne Nield opposed the claims and stressed that Meghan had nothing to do with the two princes' issue. Indeed, the mother-of-one is now part of Prince Harry's life and building their life together with their son. However, she is not leading him away from his family, causing the rift between the siblings.
She insisted that the reason behind Prince Harry and Prince William are on different paths might be because Kate's husband was born to be the future king, while Meghan's hubby was not. Princess Diana and Prince Charles' sons were always destined to have different futures.
A source told People, earlier this week, that Prince Harry saw his brother as being "hemmed in by protocol" as the future monarch. They also have different approaches in life. "They are at very different situations in their lives," a close family friend said.
However, despite their different roles, longtime palace staffers believed they were working in tandem. Yet, with the arrivals of their wives and their growing families, being together might be far from happening.
