Royal sources have disclosed that Prince Harry is experiencing mounting apprehension about his wife Meghan Markle's wellbeing amid escalating public and media attention. The Duke of Sussex reportedly sees disturbing echoes of the relentless press scrutiny that plagued his mother, Princess Diana, in the treatment his wife receives from certain media outlets.
The Ghost of Diana's Ordeal
According to palace insiders, Harry's fears aren't merely hypothetical concerns but stem from witnessing firsthand the devastating consequences of intense media fascination. Having lost his mother in circumstances heavily influenced by paparazzi pursuit, the prince remains acutely aware of how quickly public admiration can turn dangerous.
A Protective Husband's Nightmare
Friends close to the couple reveal that Harry has become increasingly vigilant about Meghan's security arrangements and mental health. "He's determined not to let history repeat itself," one confidant shared. "Every negative headline, every intrusive photograph takes him back to those dark days with his mother."
The Sussexes' Ongoing Battle with Media
The couple's relationship with the British press has been notably strained since their relationship became public. From legal battles over privacy breaches to their decision to step back from royal duties, the Sussexes have consistently pushed back against what they perceive as unfair treatment.
Mental health experts note that Harry's concerns reflect the very real psychological impact of growing up in the shadow of such a public tragedy. "When you've experienced trauma related to media attention, it's natural to be hyper-vigilant about protecting loved ones from similar experiences," explains a royal commentator.
Looking Forward with Caution
As the Sussexes continue to navigate their public lives in California, those close to them say Harry remains committed to creating a safer environment for his family while honouring his mother's legacy through his charitable work supporting mental health initiatives.
