Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Reportedly Trapped in a 'Rapunzel-like' Situation
A shocking new report from *Radar Online* claims that Prince Harry is feeling trapped and frustrated in his new life with Meghan Markle. According to sources, Harry’s American dream has quickly turned into a nightmare, with the couple reportedly living in isolation, akin to being locked in a "Rapunzel-like" tower.
The article suggests that, five years after Meghan and Harry decided to leave the Royal Family, Harry feels like he was misled about their new life in the U.S. Meghan had initially painted the move as an opportunity for freedom and happiness, but things have not gone as expected. The couple’s life in California has turned out to be far from normal, with their children, Archie and Lilibet, rarely seen in public or participating in community activities. Even locals in Montecito have noticed the family’s reclusiveness.
Radar’s sources report that Harry is not only angry but also feeling like he’s been “mis-sold” a lifestyle that was supposed to provide freedom. Instead, the couple is living almost as if they are strangers under the same roof, leading separate lives despite being physically together. Additionally, the children are reportedly attending a local school and nursery, but Archie and Lilibet are still largely shielded from the public eye. One source even joked that Lilibet, who was born in California, has been seen even less frequently than her older brother, making her a "mystery" to the public.
One of the biggest shocks for Harry is that he thought moving away from the Royal Family would offer more freedom for his children. However, it seems that Archie and Lilibet’s world is even more isolated than Harry’s was growing up as an heir to the British throne. Harry believes his children deserve a more normal upbringing, similar to the one his mother, Princess Diana, provided him. However, Meghan is reportedly reluctant to give up the protected lifestyle they have built in California.
According to Lady Colin Campbell, a royal commentator who has been covering the couple’s relationship for some time, these claims from *Radar Online* ring true. She agrees that Harry and Meghan are now in a difficult position and feels trapped in their relationship. Lady Colin goes on to explain that Harry and Meghan’s marriage follows a classic pattern, with moments of "ecstasy" followed by frequent "agony." Meghan, known for her rocky relationships with men, has allegedly put Harry through a similar tumultuous experience.
Lady Colin further notes that the couple may be "playing the public" to maintain a facade of happiness while they are trapped together. She claims they are struggling to extricate themselves from a situation that has become harder to leave due to public pressures, finances, and the welfare of their children.
Moreover, there have been reports about Meghan and Harry’s recent charitable efforts, particularly through the Archewell Foundation. While they managed to raise a modest $1 million, critics point out that this figure is small given their resources, celebrity connections, and the cause they support. Additionally, they donated a significant portion of the funds—$250,000—to a charity linked to Joe Biden’s daughter, which some have criticized as a political move.
Lady Colin also points out the couple’s attempt to overshadow the royal family’s engagements, such as releasing a video promoting Archewell on the same day as a major royal event. She suggests that this was a deliberate attempt to garner attention, although it did not succeed in outshining the royal headlines.
Adding fuel to the fire, Meghan’s business ventures are facing setbacks. Her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, is reportedly struggling, with Meghan herself taking on the role of CEO after failing to find a suitable candidate. Lady Colin jokes that Meghan’s overconfidence and lack of experience will likely doom the venture to failure.
Finally, the contrast between Meghan’s behavior and that of the royal family is evident in recent public interactions. While King Charles demonstrated grace in a public meeting with American tourists, Meghan’s behavior has been described as “graceless.” According to Lady Colin, this is a direct result of Meghan’s influence on Harry, who she believes has also lost his former graciousness.
As the royal couple continues to face public scrutiny, Lady Colin predicts that their attempts to control their narrative will continue to backfire. Despite the attention they attract, she believes the public is growing increasingly disillusioned with their actions.
While Harry and Meghan may be trapped in their current situation, their public persona remains one of control, despite the mounting personal and professional challenges they face.
