Meghan Markle, who recently returned to California after concluding a successful trip to Nigeria with her husband Prince Harry, has received a new ‘title’ for her powerful personality. The Duchess of Sussex has been branded a “difficult woman” by royal author Angela Levin, following what many have dubbed a de facto royal tour of the African country.
Levin, a journalist and author known for her critical takes on the Sussexes, has made bold claims about Meghan and Harry’s relationship. In her latest commentary, she described Prince Harry as being “squashed to pieces” in his marriage to the former Suits star. Levin made these remarks during an interview with GB News, where she discussed the dynamics of the couple’s relationship and the implications for Harry’s role within it.
“I think when he wrote his book about the spare, he didn’t think that maybe he would be a spare now. Meghan pushes him, pulls him if she wants to go on if she’s bored somewhere, as we saw in footage from Africa,” she claimed.
She went on: “She pulls him away and gives him a look and he leaves immediately. He’s obviously scared. I think he’s very frightened of her.” “He loves her to pieces. He wants to please her. But she is a very difficult woman and so it’s very hard for him.”
Levin did not hesitate to express her fear that Meghan has “taken over” the games, saying: “That was Harry’s, that was his star. That’s what he’d done very well. And Meghan’s taking it over. She gives the speeches and she stands in front of former army people who are walking, and she walks on and she gives them the marching orders.
According to Levin, the Duke of Sussex is effectively “a spare” in his own marriage, a term that echoes the title of his memoir, “Spare.” This term, traditionally used to refer to the younger royal siblings who are not first in line to the throne, suggests that Harry’s role in his marriage might be secondary to Meghan’s more dominant personality.
Levin’s critique did not stop there. She went on to claim that Harry is “scared” of Meghan and feels “pulled about” by her at various events. This portrayal of their relationship paints a picture of Harry as being deeply devoted to Meghan but struggling to assert himself within the marriage. Levin commented, “He loves her to pieces. He wants to please her. But she is a very difficult woman and so it’s very hard for him.”
These statements have sparked considerable discussion and debate among royal watchers and fans of the Sussexes. Levin’s assertions about the couple’s dynamic add to the ongoing narrative of tension and power struggles within their relationship. Meghan, known for her strong personality and activism, has often been a polarizing figure, and this new ‘title’ from Levin is likely to fuel further scrutiny and speculation.
The recent trip to Nigeria, which was seen by many as a successful engagement for the couple, contrasts sharply with Levin’s depiction of their private life. Publicly, Meghan and Harry have presented a united front, focusing on their philanthropic efforts and new ventures post-royal duties. However, Levin’s comments suggest that behind the scenes, the relationship might be more complicated than it appears.
As Meghan and Harry continue to carve out their new roles away from the British royal family, such insights and critiques from figures like Levin will undoubtedly keep the public and media’s interest piqued. Whether these claims hold any truth or are merely sensationalized opinions, they contribute to the complex and evolving story of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
