How Meghan Markle really feels about Prince Harry's royal rift
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have different perspectives about their rift with the royal family.
A source told People Thursday that while Markle is focused on the future and 'is very business' about the couple's fallout with Harry's relatives, Harry, 40, is stuck in the past.

The insider claimed that Markle wishes her husband would 'feel less burdened by the past' and focus on their life together.
Markle and Harry have been estranged from his family since they quit royal life in 2020 and moved to the US.

'They're aware of everything going on in England, but they're being left out of the details — there's clearly no trust,' the source told People about the couple.
The Post has reached out to Buckingham Palace and reps for the Sussexes for comment.
Harry has a particularly bad relationship with King Charles, 76, at the moment, after saying that his father 'won't speak' to him in his explosive BBC interview last month.

A palace insider recently told The Post that the cancer-stricken monarch 'simply doesn't trust Harry' because of the interview, which took place after Harry lost his appeal to maintain tax-payer funded security detail in the UK.
'There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family,' Harry said in the May 2 interview.

'Some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book,' Harry further shared, referring to his 2023 memoir 'Spare,' adding, 'Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things.'

The Duke of Sussex also declared that he 'can't see a world' where he'd bring Markle and their two children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, back to England because of the court's decision.
However, Harry still said that he 'would love' to reconcile with his family.
Harry is also feuding with his brother Prince William.

The siblings were both at their father's coronation when he officially ascended to the throne in May 2023, but they reportedly avoided one another.
Then, in August 2024, William, 42, and Harry were said to have 'kept their distance' once again while attending a memorial service in Norfolk for their late uncle, Robert Fellowes.
After Harry's bombshell BBC interview, a source told Us Weekly that William is 'done' with his brother.
