Meghan Markle encouraged Prince Harry to confront his 'resentment' toward royal family, psychiatrist argues
LONDON, UK: Recent comments from psychiatrist Dr Carole Lieberman have stirred speculation about Meghan Markle's role in Prince Harry's strained relationship with the royal family, according to OK Magazine.
Lieberman suggested that Markle may have pushed Harry to focus on his resentment towards the monarchy, particularly following the death of his mother, Princess Diana.
Meghan Markle's influence on Prince Harry's resentment towards royal family
"I certainly think he does play a role. He does have to take some of the blame," psychiatrist Dr. Carole Lieberman told GB News. "It's unfortunate. She allowed him to bring out some of the anger and resentment that he had toward the royal family ever since his mother died."
"He is not blameless, but she is the one who's perpetuating more," Lieberman continued. "I think Harry is beginning to see things clearly since King Charles was diagnosed with cancer."
The professional believes the Suits star is a bad influence on the dad-of-two, despite anonymous royal sources stating Queen Elizabeth is saddened by Harry's departure.
He returned to the UK following Charles' cancer revelation, and the trip was seen as the beginning of a reconciliation between the father and son, however, Meghan hasn't visited the region since Elizabeth's funeral in 2022.
"I think it began actually a little while ago, but it's sinking in now how much he misses his family and how they're not going to be around forever to be spoken to or disregarded or dissed in all the ways that they have been doing," Lieberman continued. "He's realizing, I think, at some point that he will go back to the U.K. and he will have to divorce Meghan."
"I don't think that that's happening just quite yet. But there are some stories about it," she added.
Meghan and Harry's transition: From Royalty to Hollywood struggles
In the wake of Prince Harry's recent announcement of plans to spend more time in the UK following his father's health concerns, speculations about the dynamics between him and Meghan Markle have resurfaced. Psychiatrist Dr. Carole Lieberman shared insights into their relationship, suggesting a divergence in their desires regarding their ties to the United Kingdom.
During a Good Morning America appearance, Harry reportedly expressed his intention to visit his native country more frequently in light of his father's health condition. However, Lieberman hinted at a potential disagreement between the couple, with Markle allegedly hesitant about spending more time in the UK. This contrast in their preferences may contribute to the strain in their relationship.
"They are saying that he's talking about wanting to be more in the U.K. and she doesn't want to. So we will have to see with that," the author continued. "But it is sad. At the Queen's funeral, that was when it began. You could see his face, that he was feeling not only lonely but sad that he hadn't been around with her longer."
Lieberman pointed to pivotal moments, such as Queen Elizabeth's funeral, as catalysts for Harry's introspection and longing for familial connections. Despite their departure from England and attempts to establish themselves as Hollywood figures, the couple faced professional challenges in 2023.
"They are getting desperate, ever more desperate. I think Meghan thought that when they went back to the United States she and Harry would be very popular," Liberman noted.
"They made all these plans about charities and so on. And she thought that they'd be able to do this just by carrying over the royal titles that they have and the history that they have and not doing any work as royals," she concluded.
Lieberman characterized Meghan and Harry as growing increasingly desperate in their pursuits, particularly in achieving popularity and success in the United States. Markle's expectations of leveraging their royal titles and history for charitable endeavors without actively participating in royal duties may have led to disappointment.
