Prince Harry 'puts pressure' on Meghan with latest request causing 'tension' in marriage

 Prince Harry and Meghan's marriage is reportedly heading for troubled waters over his plans to temporarily return to the UK, according to a royal expert.

The Duke of Sussex will fly from his Montecito home in Los Angeles and return to his native country to host an event this year to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, which support wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women, both serving and veterans.

Harry wants Meghan to be by his side for his brief visit back to the UK. However, this has reportedly clashed with his wife's wishes as the 42-year-old previously vowed never to return to British shores.

The former Suits actress has attracted widespread attention and criticism in the UK after marrying Prince Harry in May 2018, and it appears she has no intention of going back to the UK after their fallout with the rest of the Royal Family.According to royal commentator Tom Quinn, Harry is reportedly putting "pressure" on Meghan to return to the UK for the Invictus Games, and his request has created some 'tension' in their marriage.

A difficult time for Harry and Meghan

It is believed Harry could insist on only Meghan travelling with him, with their children Archie, four, and Lilibet, two, remaining in the U.S.

But Quinn went on to claim it is "causing huge tension in the couple's relationship" due to Meghan's stubborn stance.

Omid Scobie's book Endgame tells us that Meghan never wants to visit the UK again, but she now realises with the games coming up and her father-in-law seriously ill that you should never say never," he added.

On his last visit back home, the Prince reportedly had a huge row with Queen Camilla and left after 30 minutes of visiting his father, King Charles, who has been diagnosed with cancer.

"The Invictus Games - it's one of the few areas of Harry's life where he feels on firm ground," Quinn told The Mirror.

"There's no doubt that helping disabled soldiers is a good thing, and it's something that Harry has tried to do without it becoming all about him, so it's good for brand Sussex but only if Meghan is also there. So he is definitely putting pressure on her to join him."

King Charles snubs Prince Harry in Christmas speech

King Charles failed to mention Prince Harry or Prince Andrew in his Christmas message.

Most senior members of the royal family featured in his annual speech – but the Duke of York and the Duke of Sussex were missing.It comes as relations between the Duke, King Charles III, and Prince William have been increasingly strained since the fallout from bombshells in his book Spare and his Netflix documentary.

The King’s Christmas Broadcast was filmed in the Centre Room at Buckingham Palace, with the iconic palace balcony in the background.

It has been five years since a monarch’s Christmas message was filmed at Buckingham Palace.

In the speech, Charles alluded to the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza – quoting Jesus as he called for “peace on Earth”.

The King said: “At a time of increasingly tragic conflict around the world, I pray that we can also do all in our power to protect each other.

“The words of Jesus seem more than ever relevant: ‘do to others as you would have them do to you.’

“Such values are universal, drawing together our Abrahamic family of religions, and other belief systems, across the Commonwealth and wider world.

“They remind us to imagine ourselves in the shoes of our neighbours, and to seek their good as we would our own.”

Charles also praised the “selfless army” of volunteers helping others “at a time of real hardship” in the speech.

He said: “Over this past year my heart has been warmed by countless examples of the imaginative ways in which people are caring for one another.

“Going the extra mile to help those around them simply because they know it is the right thing to do – at work and at home; within and across communities.

“My wife and I were delighted when hundreds of representatives of that selfless army of people – volunteers who serve their communities in so many ways and with such distinction – were able to join us in Westminster Abbey for the Coronation earlier this year.

“They are an essential backbone of our society. Their presence meant so much to us both and emphasised the meaning of Coronation itself.

“Above all, a call to us all to serve one another; to love and care for all.Charles also spoke about the environment and his Christian faith in the speech, which was broadcast at 3pm on the big day.

He gave the address in front of a living Christmas tree, a royal first.

n a nod to the environmentalist monarch, it was decorated with sustainable products such as dried oranges, hand-turned wood, brown glass and pine cones. It will be replanted after the broadcast from Buckingham Palace’s Centre Room, which overlooks the Victoria Memorial.
