Meghan Markle ‘Worries’ Prince Harry Is ‘Venting to His Friends About Their Marriage’ (Exclusive)

Meghan Markle is feeling shunned and disrespected after Prince Harry went on a boys’ ski trip to Aspen, Star has learned.

“Harry came back in a great mood, saying [that] the time away did him a world of good,” reveals an insider, who says the comment “did not go over too well” with the mom of two, 44, who shares son Prince Archie, 6, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 4, with the 41-year-old royal.’

“Meghan doesn’t see the need for a grown man to take the little time he has off and spend it away from his family,” the insider continues. “She’s okay with it happening once or twice a year but Harry’s now saying he needs to do this way more often and he’s using his friends that all do it as proof that it’s totally fine and normal.”

There is nothing fine or normal about it, though, from Meghan’s perspective, notes the insider. “This is sounding the alarm for her. She worries he’s venting to his friends about their marriage, which is very unsettling for her.”

As Star previously reported, the couple has been drifting apart amid conflicting priorities. The Duke of Sussex wants to “improve his relationship with his father,” King Charles III, a source said at the time, while the Duchess of Sussex “has zero interest in setting foot in England again.” That disagreement, the source went on to explain, has led to “fresh bickering and arguing” at their home in Montecito, California.

“Harry says he just needs a little space to breathe, that this isn’t some sign things are drifting,” adds the insider. “But Meghan is not taking it lightly. She’s in full panic mode.”
