Harry’s parents, Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, divorced in the 1990s. They had an acrimonious divorce and before that an acrimonious marriage with claims of infidelity and Diana questioning Charles’ fitness to be king. Diana’s tell-all interviews are the stuff of legend and sadly she passed away in 1997 in a car accident.

And, according to royal expert Angela Levin, Meghan and Harry’s experiences with divorced parents could mean “negativity” for their own marriage. In contrast, Prince William’s wife, Princess Catherine, came from an intact family.
Levin told Express “Children of broken homes, especially if the parental break up was unpleasant, often don’t know how a good relationship works. “William learnt through the Middletons how a loving and supportive family works. It has been the bedrock of making Kate loving, calm and confident.”
Levin added, “Harry hasn’t had that parental opportunity. His background has just been of bitter fighting and incompatibility. Both he and Meghan come from very damaged backgrounds and must carry with them some of the negativity. It must be hard for them to help each other and lack experience in how stable, strong, understanding relationships work.”
