It is no secret that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s explosive documentary sent shockwaves through the Royal Family, with the icing on the cake being the unnapproved legal action against British Associated Press.

Since laying bare their emotional turmoil, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been cast out of the Royal Family, with sources saying the couple is continuing to feel isolated from those within Buckingham Palace.

During their royal tour of Africa, Prince Harry admitted in their ITV documentary Harry & Meghan: An African Journey that the royal rift between the ‘Fab Four’ is alive and well, with the Duke of Sussex making the bombshell claims that he and his brother are “certainly on different paths at the moment”. 

An admittance of such internal turbulence is, again, unusual for a senior Royal family member, and according to sources has only increased ill feelings within the family – so much so – palace insiders say that the there has been no telecommunication between the Sussex’s and the rest of the Royal Family.

“There hasn’t been this complete 180,” a source told PEOPLE magazine. 

“Nothing has changed. They don’t speak, no one is checking in, no one is texting.”

Prince Harry’s ill feelings towards Prince William wasn’t the only revelation from the heartbreaking documentary, his wife Meghan Markle also detailed how she had been struggling with being a first-time mum amid all the media attention. 

“Any woman, especially when they’re pregnant, you’re really vulnerable, and so that was made really challenging. So you add [media attention] on top of just trying to be a new mom or trying to be a newlywed … Not many people have asked if I’m okay, but it’s a very real thing to be going through,” Meghan told Harry’s friend Tom Bradby.

Meghan continued: “I’m not really okay, as in it’s really been a struggle.”
