Sources close to the couple reveal that Harry had hoped to inherit something from Princess Diana’s personal collection, which the Queen had kept at her various residences over the years. However, all of Diana’s jewelry and other items remain with King Charles and William, to be passed down through the royal family. This exclusion from the will has hit Harry very hard, leaving him feeling resentful towards his father and brother. This resentment is already causing tension in Harry’s relationship with Meghan.
According to reports, Meghan is furious with Harry for his ungratefulness and entitlement over not inheriting money from the Queen. She feels he should accept the will and move on instead of complaining to her about it. This has led to tense arguments between the two in recent weeks as the details of the will became public. Meghan reportedly told Harry to get over himself and stop obsessing over his exclusion, but Harry believes his family is punishing him for leaving royal life, and that Meghan just doesn’t understand how he feels.
This will situation has clearly reopened old wounds between the Sussexes, and it's not the only thing causing friction. Harry’s upcoming memoir, set to be released early next year, is also a point of contention. Meghan is unhappy about some of the criticism directed at her in early drafts of the book. According to insiders, she feels he is throwing her under the bus to regain his family’s favor. Harry insists that any critiques of his wife have been misrepresented and taken out of context. They’ve had tearful arguments over how many personal anecdotes from their relationship he plans to share publicly. Privacy is crucial to Meghan, but Harry seems keen on exposing every detail of their life together. Sources say Meghan doesn’t want every embarrassing fight or sensitive moment on full display.
And if that wasn’t enough drama, Netflix and their documentary crew have added to the strain. Harry and Meghan reportedly wanted their docuseries to focus on their philanthropic work and issues like racial injustice, but Netflix sought more access to their personal lives and relationship than the Sussexes were comfortable with. After a series of heated meetings and creative disagreements, there was a brief period when they almost pulled out of the project. Meghan felt Netflix was trying to manipulate and exploit them, while Harry still believed the platform could positively showcase their message. In the end, they managed to smooth things over just in time for filming to continue, but the disagreement heightened tensions between the couple.
With the holidays approaching, Harry and Meghan had planned to spend Christmas with the royal family at Sandringham, as they had in previous years. However, given the current climate between Harry and his father, along with their ongoing relationship issues, it no longer seems feasible. Harry is said to have backed out of joining the family, and they will be celebrating privately this year.
So, to sum up: Queen Elizabeth's will excludes Harry, leading to his anger towards his father and brother, as well as Meghan for telling him to accept it. He’s also upsetting Meghan with his memoir, Netflix has stressed them out, and their holiday visit is off. The fractures in their relationship are becoming more evident, with whispers of a trial separation or even potential divorce growing louder. Both admit to struggling under the pressures of public scrutiny and their busy careers, which are only amplifying their personal problems. Harry desperately wanted to find a peaceful middle ground between his family and his new life in the US, but that seems increasingly out of reach. Meghan feels unsupported and unprotected by Harry, and something’s got to give soon.
