The reality of Prince Harry’s life in America has taken its toll, with the arrival of Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, further complicating matters. Despite his wealth, Prince Harry seems to have lost his sense of self during his time with Meghan Markle. Struggling to adjust to life in the United States, the Duke of Sussex has seen his family expand to include his mother-in-law, Doria Ragland, who has moved into the California home he shares with Meghan Markle. This decision, according to royal commentator Angela Levin, appears to be motivated by Meghan’s professional ambitions, as it allows Doria to stay at home and look after the children, making Meghan feel more secure in seizing lucrative opportunities.
However, the same cannot be said for Harry, who, by Levin’s assessment, now feels outnumbered in his own home. Levin suggests that Megan’s decisions continue to dominate the couple’s lives, pointing out that Harry has been in the minority since meeting Megan and her mother. This decision, Levin explains, is an indication of Megan’s influence, pushing Harry to follow their lead. The dynamic, according to one insider, diminished Harry in every way, turning him into a less active and more uncomfortable version of himself.
Reflecting on previous versions of Harry, Levin notes that the lively, engaging personality that audiences once knew seems to have diminished. He observes a change in Harry’s behavior, suggesting that he now feels uncomfortable expressing things that Megan may not know. Levin points out that Harry, who was once vocal and humorous, seems to have lost that aspect of himself since being with Megan.
Doria Ragland, who regularly features alongside her daughter, played a role in Megan’s rise to stardom. However, the last public appearance with the Duchess of Sussex was in 2018, at the launch of Megan’s cookbook. Levin points out the discomfort Harry now seems to feel in expressing himself in the relationship, suggesting that Megan’s decisions have taken precedence, impacting Harry’s self-esteem.
