The Queen and Prince William are reportedly worried about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
Queen Elizabeth II, Prince William, and other members of the royal family are reportedly concerned for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after they spoke emotionally about their struggles with royal life.
In an ITV documentary that aired on Sunday, "Harry and Meghan: An African Journey," the couple spoke about the effect the media scrutiny was having on their mental health. Markle said that "not many people have asked if I'm OK."
Prince William is said to be not only worried for the couple, but angry at his brother for using the documentary to confirm that there's a rift between them.
The BBC reported that a "well-placed source" said William was "furious" with Harry about the interview, in which he said they were "on different paths at the moment."
However, the BBC described a palace source as saying that "that was not his understanding of the prince's mood."
"Instead the official suggested a mood of concern, for the safety of the couple," the BBC said.
Another source told the Evening Standard that the Queen and Prince Charles had been in touch with Markle and Harry.
"I know that the Prince of Wales has several times reached out to Meghan," the source said. "They get on and share a love of music too. I know he invited her to a preview of an exhibition at the palace.
"The Queen has been a source of strength too and invited them both to Balmoral where family problems are usually aired."
The interviews in the documentary were considered Markle and Harry's most candid and emotional yet. Markle said that her friends warned her not to date Harry "because the British tabloids will destroy your life," and Harry said he blamed the media for his mother's death.
"I will not be bullied into playing a game that killed my mum," he said.
