A royal expert has claimed that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s marriage is in ‘serious trouble’, and returning to UK from California after six years is their last attempt to save it.

In his latest piece for Naughty But Nice substack, Rob Shuter has claimed this a day after Meghan and Harry’s plans to move back to UK were revealed by their friends.

He said their return to Britain is not the romantic family homecoming it may appear to be.

Citing the sources, the expert said Meghan and Harry’s marriage is in ‘serious trouble’

“I’m told Meghan did not want to return and remains deeply uncomfortable with the idea. Harry, however, is miserable in California and increasingly unhappy with the life they have built in Montecito. That unhappiness is now putting enormous strain on their marriage,” the close source tells the expert.

The insider went on saying Meghan and Harry are not in a ‘good place’, and “Harry is deeply unhappy, and Meghan knows she cannot keep asking him to live a life that is making him miserable.”

Archie and Lilibet doting parents have reached a point where simply trying to carry on as they have been is no longer working. “The distance between them has grown, and the life they created in California has not delivered the happiness they expected.”

“Meghan is not doing this because she wants to,” Rob’s source says. “She is doing it because she believes she has to. She does not want to lose Harry, and she knows something has to change.”
