BLAMING EACH OTHER!

Harry & Meghan The royal fallout continues as tensions begin to boil over in the Sussex household

-

Just days after his explosive Oprah Winfrey interview, a forlorn Prince Harry was spotted riding his bike alone around the streets of Montecito. Now sources say the 36-year-old was getting away from what has become a mad hive of activity as his wife Meghan and her team strategise their next move.

As the world still comes to terms with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s shocking royal revelation­s, insiders say things are just as tense at their Santa Barbara mansion – and the blame game has begun.

“The honeymoon’s over,” says a friend. “Harry’s been hostile and sulking, while Meghan’s been blaming him for pretty much everything – from losing the dog to ‘not smiling enough.’

“They’ve passed the point of no return when it comes to the royal family and the reality is starting to settle in. Anyone who truly knew Harry before he met Meghan knows this situation will be tearing him up inside. If he thinks he can find substitute­s for his brother and

father with online therapists, he’s dead wrong.”

In their ongoing mission to fill the coffers after Prince Charles allegedly “cut them off financiall­y”, Harry announced last week he would become chief impact officer for lifecoachi­ng and mental health firm BetterUp, in a deal that could net him millions.

The prince was also revealed as one of 15 commission­ers for an American study into the spread of misinforma­tion online, run by billionair­e Craigslist founder Craig Newmark.

Harry explained how he has been using BetterUp’s online therapy service himself and had given their Archewell charity team access to the program, saying, “I was matched with a truly awesome coach who has given me sound advice and a fresh perspectiv­e.”

However, many of Harry’s oldest friends are worried about what “perspectiv­e” convinced him that burning his entire family was a good idea.

“The outrage and backlash all over the world has shocked even Meghan and they are worried they’ve oversteppe­d the mark – I think Harry knows they have,” says the insider.

The couple have already had to retract Meghan’s claim to Oprah that they exchanged vows three days before their $44 million wedding at Windsor Castle in May 2018.

“It’s all going very wrong for them right now as she’s been caught out lying,” adds the source. “There’s also the palace bullying investigat­ion to face now too, and all this drama and tension has led to them turning on each other. It hasn’t been a happy household since that Oprah interview aired.”
