Meghan Markle vs Prince Harry: ‘He’s really dug in his heels so they keep circling the same thing’

There is a growing issue that is threatening to spill all over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and it relates to their son Prince Archie and daughter Princess Lilibet.

As for the reason its all related to the US-based royal’s birthday that’s coming in the first week of May.

According to sources that just spoke to Closer magazine, Meghan Markle has been busy fighting her husband behind the scenes for the option to release a proper portrait of their son, but meanwhile Prince Harry is completely against any such decision, on the promise that this was never what he wanted

While attempting to explain this back and forth the source said, “she’s a fierce mamma bear, she would never do anything to put her kids at risk, but she’s also not someone that believes in operating from a place of fear.”

At the same time there is no part of Prince Harry that doubts her devotion to their kids, “but the whole fame thing is a very loaded topic for him” because he has spent so much of his life feeling ‘trapped’ by it, they explained.

Moreover, “he swears being in the public eye is not a life he would have chosen so he strongly feels his kids should be given the opportunity to make the choice for themselves.”

There’s a lot another thing ongoing between the two, and that is that while Harry says he ‘gets’ where she's coming from, “he just isn’t convinced,” he still feels like once you start down that road “it’s very hard to pull back.”

Before concluding they also explained just how badly Prince Harry is pushing back against this, not just because usually, he gives in to whatever Meghan wants.

Right now “he’s really dug in his heels, so they keep circling the same argument. She’s budging him along in her direction inch by inch, but it’s nowhere near as fast as she'd like,” they said before signing off.
