At the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 on February 16, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave a heartfelt tribute to Prince Harry for founding the event in 2014. “You are the one who turned this into a reality,” Trudeau told the crowd, highlighting the Duke of Sussex’s dedication to supporting injured and wounded veterans. Prince Harry appeared emotional as over 20,000 attendees showed their appreciation for his work.
However, after the event, a source told RadarOnline that the initial excitement quickly faded. “When it’s over, it leaves a void, and this year was no exception,” the source explained. Back at his home in Montecito, Prince Harry reportedly felt lost and unsure of what to do with himself, according to the insider.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle has been making waves in California with her projects. In March, she launched her Netflix lifestyle series With Love, Meghan, as well as her brand As Ever. A source described Meghan as being in full control, saying, “She’s got everyone around her hustling. It’s all about Meghan now.”
Royal biographer Tina Brown recently commented on Prince Harry’s role within the family, calling him the most talented royal when it comes to his work as a prince. However, she believes Harry has taken a step back, with Meghan seemingly at the forefront of their partnership. Brown also criticized Markle’s judgment, noting that she seems to make mistakes despite her strong influence.
Despite his prominent role in the Invictus Games, Prince Harry has expressed that he misses the U.K., particularly Birmingham, which will host the 2027 games. But insiders say that his visits back to the U.K. have often created tension at home. Harry no longer keeps in close contact with his old friends from the U.K., with comedian Jack Whitehall mentioning that they used to be good friends before Harry’s relationship with Meghan.
Markle has addressed accusations that she is responsible for Harry’s social distancing in their Netflix docuseries, pointing out that it’s common for people to blame the woman when a man’s friendships change after entering a relationship. Meghan emphasized that Harry was already on his own path before they met.
Though the couple often shows public affection, rumors of a possible divorce have persisted. An insider claimed that Meghan’s team had looked into the possibility of a post-divorce book deal, though this has yet to be confirmed. The source also noted that Harry appears deeply concerned about the potential consequences if their relationship were to end.
