Prince Harry, Meghan Markle’s family priorities move miles apart: 'See the big picture for once!'

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s lives seen a major shift, and its caused them to enter a real crossroads, one where the Duchess is being forced to prioritize between earning money, and working with Prince Harry to reestablish goodwill with the royals.

This push and pull is being described at length by a well placed source familiar with the Sussexes.

According to their findings, Harry truly is “working overtime” to “change her mind,” and “it’s becoming quite the saga as they continue to butt heads over differing priorities.”

Moreover, in his eyes having Meghan there for their next trip, (which will either be at Balmoral, or according to separate sources may even lend them rights to stay at Buckingham Palace) can help them “send the message loud and clear that they’re both being welcomed back.”

Another thing they mentioned is that “if the public sees them both staying together at Buckingham Palace, it will go a long way to proving Meghan has got the King’s stamp of approval too, and he’s convinced that will give her popularity in the UK a huge boost.”

But with reports that they are spending far more than they can make, Meghan “keeps bringing the conversation back to reality” according to the source. “She’s got businesses to run, projects to launch and money to make. As she sees it, that money isn't going to magically appear if she's spending all her time in Britain,” they report.

As for her husband, while he “understands why she wants to stay home; she’s got an endless pile of work, and, of course, throwing in a trip to her in-laws overseas, even if it is to stay at Buckingham Palace, is one more thing on her plate.”

Near the end the same insider also said, “Harry knows it’s very draining, there are so many rules, and so many eyes judging her every move, so he gets why she is digging in her heels,” but at the same time, they say “he’s been working hard to make this happen,” and “now they are getting this amazing chance, which not too long ago seemed too much to ever hope for.”

Before signing off fully the insider admitted, “he feels she ought to see the big picture and make it her number one priority.”
