Royals Fear Divorced Prince Harry Would Be a "Bloody Nightmare": Sources

Recently there have been rumors swirling that after five years of marriage, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, are hitting a rough patch. The couple, who have welcomed two children, moved across the world, traded in their careers as working members of the Royal Family for one more conventional, in the entertainment industry, and dissolved major family relationships, have gone through a lot of changes in the short time they have been together. Now, some sources are saying that if the chatter is true, it could be devastating for the Prince. 

A friend of William speculates that if Harry and Meghan's marriage didn't work out, things could be really hard for the Duke of Cambridge. "William and Kate had plenty of reservations about the marriage in the first place, precisely because they feared Meghan wasn't right for Harry. But what's done is done and now William, like everyone else in the family, just hopes it all works out," they told The Daily Beast. "Harry returning to the U.K., and trying to find him a job, would be a bloody nightmare."

"The marriage has to work," a friend of the King added to the publication. "That's not a case of Charles saying, 'Harry has made his bed and has to lie in it.' It's a case of a father wanting his son, who he loves very much, to be happy and to have his wife and children in his life."

However, the friend maintains that the rumors don't have truth to them anyway. "These stories are groundless anyway. I don't think anyone is seriously concerned that they are on the point of separation," they added. 

The rumors first surfaced after reports that Harry was spending nights away from the home he shares with Meghan and their children. The Sun recently reported that the Prince has a room "set aside" at the San Vicente Bungalows in Los Angeles. 

"Am I the only person in the U.K. that is thinking, has Harry finally woken up to the truth? Has he finally seen the truth of what his wife is doing and that he's been brainwashed and mesmerized by her beauty or something? Because we all know that, but he doesn't seem to see it." Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, recently said in an interview with GB News.

The royal author Lady Colin Campbell, added fuel to the fire when she told GB News that she had heard, "from five totally reliable sources that Harry called in the lawyers some months ago."

However, according to Petronella Wyatt, "friends of mine in LA who know Harry and Meghan socially," told her the couple would never split up. "There is something almost heroic in the way they have held their perilous ground, disdaining all compromise, unmoved by their vociferous critics. They have faced every conceivable form of attack that rational people are capable of mounting and yet they have scarcely budged an inch," she wrote for the Daily Telegraph. 

"I think the concept that they might not make it as a couple is there in the back of all our minds because he has undergone such a huge change of lifestyle," a friend of Harry's added to The Daily Beast.

"The over-sharing Harry is not someone we recognize and you just wonder if one day he will wake up and go, 'What have I done?' But the good thing is that, as of now, all the reports I hear are that he seems perfectly happy with his new, touchy-feely, Californian millionaire lifestyle. Long may it last."
