A royal expert has noted “worrying echoes” of Meghan Markle’s behavior in Prince Harry’s actions towards his own family. This comment follows Prince Harry’s decision to decline an invitation to Hugh Grosvenor and Olivia Henson’s wedding on June 7, despite Hugh being Prince Archie’s godfather.

Richard Eden, Diary editor of the Daily Mail, told Palace Confidential that Harry’s desire to distance himself from friends and family is concerning. He drew parallels to Meghan Markle, who has become estranged from her own family, with few members attending her royal wedding.

Eden highlighted that Prince Harry has never met his father-in-law and finds this estrangement troubling. He also pointed out that many of Harry’s old friends drifted away after he started dating Meghan, but Hugh the Duke of Westminster remained a close friend, even becoming Archie’s godfather. Harry’s absence from Hugh’s wedding is seen as significant.

The decision surprised many, given Harry’s cl

ose relationship with the groom. Reports suggest Harry stayed in California with Meghan to avoid overshadowing the couple’s big day and to avoid awkward interactions with his estranged family, including Prince William and Princess Eugenie, who attended the wedding.

Meghan Markle’s relationship with her father, Thomas Markle, has been estranged for the past five years and is considered “beyond repair” by experts. Despite Thomas Markle’s attempts to reconcile, relationship expert Louella Alderson told The Mirror that mending their relationship would require significant effort and forgiveness from both sides, and it is unclear if Meghan is willing to do so.
