The Duchess of Sussex is said to have banned her husband from hunting – a sport he and several members of the royal family enjoy.
Speaking with the UK’s Radio Times, friend of the Sussexes Dr Jane Goodall revealed Meghan holds considerable influence over Harry.
When the publication indicated to the Dr that Harry and his brother Prince William are champions of the natural world, she interjected: “Yes except they hunt and shoot.”
However, his hunting days may already have come to an end, as he’s known to have already given up going on one hunt for the sake of his marriage.
It has been claimed that Prince Harry did not participate in the traditional Boxing Day royal family hunt two years ago as he did not want to “upset” Meghan Markle.
The family usually shoot pheasants, partridges, and sometimes ducks on their 8000-hectare estate in Norfolk.
A source told The Sun at the time: “Harry loves [hunting] and has always been out there on Boxing Day.
“But if it means breaking with long-standing royal traditions to avoid upsetting [Meghan], so be it.
“It’s fair to say that there are some pretty stunned faces around here.” They added.
The close friend and confidant of Prince Harry also claimed that the prince is finding his new life away from Buckingham Palace a little “bit challenging”.
According to US Weekly, English primatologist and anthropologist Dr Jane Goodall told the Radio Times she anticipates there will be a big adjustment for Harry moving forward.
“I don’t know how his career is going to map out, but yes, I’ve been in touch, though I think he’s finding life a bit challenging just now,” Jane claimed to the British publication.
The 86-year-old believes that, as a result of Meghan Markle’s influence, Harry will also most likely put his hunting and shooting days behind him.
She claimed Harry: “will stop because Meghan doesn’t like hunting, so I suspect that is over for him.”
Harry and Meghan, who officially stepped down as senior members of the British royal family on March 31, have reportedly now settled down in Malibu, Los Angeles.
Jane’s royal confession comes after it was reported Harry has been feeling guilty about being away from his family at a time when they need him the most.
According to US Weekly, a source close to the prince recently said: “Despite their ups and downs, hearing that his dad is sick with a potentially life-threatening illness is a huge wake-up call. And he’s overwhelmed with feelings of guilt for not being closer to home while this is all going on.”
What’s more, the National Enquirer claimed that Charles allegedly told Harry: “You must come home!”
But as the insider claimed to the American publication, the future King of England reportedly told his son he wasn’t taking no for an answer.
That said, Harry apparently refused to head back to the United Kingdom, with the Duke of Sussex allegedly telling his father his presence was needed by his wife Meghan’s side.
Not accepting no for an answer, Charles reportedly ordered Harry to come home and sent an RAF to collect him.
Harry is said to have relented, but rumour has it Meghan supposedly threw a hissy fit.
