Prince Harry is apparently not doing too well these days. According to the royal family biographer Angela Levin, the Duke of Sussex is miserable in his marriage to actress Meghan Markle.

The Duke, who authored his memoir Spare, reflecting on his life growing up in the shadow of his brother William, the heir to the throne, is reportedly growing more discontent with his life in California.

In an interview with The Sun, Levin said that the younger Prince is desperate to return to his motherland.

“You could say Harry is not even the spare to his wife. He’s almost nothing. She (Meghan) treats him horrendously. If you look at the filming of them in Colombia and Africa, he is not asked anything. He’s pushed out of the way,” The Sun quoted Levin as saying.

Some friends of the Prince told the publication that he feels helpless and feels overshadowed by Meghan in public. During their recent trips to Nigeria in May and Colombia last month, Meghan, 43, took the spotlight.

Members of Harry’s close circle have observed that he appears to appreciate his frequent solo trips to the UK, as Meghan remains adamant about not visiting the country. His recent attendance at the memorial for his uncle, Lord Fellowes, was well-received by his friends.

A source told The Sun, “Harry is increasingly feeling isolated in California, which is why he’s been reaching out to old friends in the UK. The trip to Colombia also emphasized how easily Meghan takes center stage, while Harry seems withdrawn and visibly unhappy in the background.”

When Harry Accused The Royal Family Of Treating Him As A ‘Spare’

In his 2023 memoir ‘Spare’, Harry openly criticized his family, alleging that William physically attacked him during a heated argument.

He also revealed that William had labeled Meghan as “difficult,” “rude,” and “abrasive,” while claiming Kate Middleton, William’s wife, was unwelcoming towards her. Those close to Harry have noticed that he prefers traveling to the UK by himself, while Meghan consistently chooses not to ..

Harry married Meghan in 2018, after dating for two years. Together, they have two kids – a son named Archie, and a daughter named Lilibet. Together, they have hosted numerous projects, including Markle’s podcast ‘Archetypes’.
