Prince Harry is facing fresh criticism for struggling to find a clear direction since stepping away from royal life.

Speaking during a television appearance, former royal press secretary Dickie Arbiter claimed that the Duke of Sussex’s public role now revolves mainly around the Invictus Games.

He also argued that leaving the British Army was one of the biggest mistakes of King Charles’ son life.

"He hasn't really achieved anything,” he said of Harry’s post-royal life as reported by The Express.

"Yes, he has got his Invictus Games, but he is nothing else. That doesn't happen very often; that's every two years,” he added.

Commenting on Harry’s marriage to Meghan Markle, Arbiter claimed the couple’s relationship has appeared troubled for some time.

He said that Harry "got married to someone who has pulled him right down into nothing."

This comes after it was reported by Radar Online that Harry and Meghan's marriage is going through a challenging period.

They said that for Meghan, "success is something that can be measured in growth, deals, and revenue, and right now, money is very much at the forefront of her thinking."

"She sees the income generated from the trip as proof that her strategy is working, and she takes a great deal of pride in that," added the source.

As for Harry, “that shift is where her huge new friction with Harry is really starting to surface."
