Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Struggling with Guilt and Regret Over Public Family Feud, Source Reveals
Kate Middleton’s recent video message, announcing the completion of her chemotherapy treatment, has left Meghan Markle with mixed emotions. In a heartfelt video, the Princess of Wales expressed her relief at finishing her treatment and shared her excitement about returning to work.
However, while the Duchess of Sussex is pleased about Kate’s recovery, it has stirred complex feelings for her and Prince Harry. According to an insider who spoke with Closer, “Meghan is incredibly relieved that Kate’s healthy again, but when it comes to the video announcement, her feelings are pretty complicated.”
The source went on to explain that Harry and Meghan are still dealing with feelings of guilt and regret over their public criticisms of the royal family, especially Kate. “There’s still an element of guilt that she and Harry are grappling with,” the insider revealed. “They both have regrets over going so public with their complaints about the family, and Kate in particular.
When they spoke out, Meghan felt they had no other choice, but now that time has passed and those heightened feelings have cooled off, she realizes things could have been handled more discreetly.” The source further explained that watching Kate’s emotional update has resurfaced those past tensions for Meghan.
“It’s not something she likes to dwell on, but of course watching Kate’s video brought it all to the surface and it really broke her. It’s undoubtedly agonizing for both her and Harry.” In her update, Princess Kate reflected on how the past nine months have been “incredibly tough” for her family.
She spoke candidly about the challenges of her cancer journey, saying, “The cancer journey is complex, scary, and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you. With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.”
Kate acknowledged that her “path to healing and full recovery is long,” before expressing gratitude for the support she has received throughout her treatment. The video has been a bittersweet moment for Meghan and Harry, as they continue to navigate the complexities of their relationship with the royal family.
