Meghan Markle wedges Harry between a rock and a hard place: ‘He’ll defend her but is uncomfortable’

Its said Prince Harry is facing a constant battle of supporting his wife despite feeling increasingly uncomfortable by some of her actions, a report has suggest.

The report in question comes via a well placed insider and they shared everything with Heat.

Per this source’ findings the issue resides in her sharing pictures of the dresses she wore during previous Invictus Games events and for those unversed, the Games are a world stage meant for disabled veterans to play, engage in rehabilitative activities etc.

However, the world is in an uproar because of her decision to share something that gets her almost 10% to 20% commission on each sale made via her link.

However, despite all this it appears her husband is still in her corner, albeit confusedly.

The source explains his anguish in the following words, “Harry is always going to defend Meghan publicly but it’s no secret this is making him deeply uncomfortable, the last thing he needs is even a whiff of impropriety at such a sensitive time.”

According to the source the issue boils down to the simple fact that Harry and Meghan have “very different reactions whenever they’re faced with this sort of public controversy.”

On one side “Harry’s instinct is always to worry about appearances and reputational damage. He will hate the idea of the conversation becoming about Meghan’s wardrobe or social media strategy but he’s also not going to want to be seen as being an unsupportive husband.”

After all, Prince Harry’s entire life as a blue-blooded royal has been about keeping perception into account and according to source, he still believes “even the smallest conflict of interest is to be avoided at all cost.”

But Meghan on the other hand is totally different. In fact she “wants to ignore the criticism and says Harry should too because it’s just manufactured outrage. But for Harry this is highly embarrassing and difficult to defend.”
