Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s ’next big test’ laid bare as couple ‘disagree’ on key matter

According to The Sun, Harry is keen for privacy when it comes to raising Archie and Lilibet, an attitude that contrasts with Meghan’s determination to raise the pair openly in California.

The children are rarely seen outside of the family’s Montecito mansion where the Duke and Duchess flocked to after stepping away from royal duties.

According to Bower, the reported conflict represents a major obstacle in the couple’s relationship.

Talking to GB News, he said the couple have come from “different cultures”, a key reason for the apparent difference of opinion.

“Harry has never been properly educated, he had terrible A levels”, he told Dan Wootton.

“He has never understood education, whereas Meghan worked really hard and got into a good college, so there is bound to be a clash.

“I think recent photographs have shown Meghan is happy without Harry, and Harry is happy without Meghan, so what is going to happen when they get back together.

“There’s a clash of cultures, a clash of interests, but they will have to one way or another reconcile it.

“In the end, what is always an issue is how to bring up your children, and if you can’t agree on that, it becomes a major problem.

“That’s going to be their next big test, how are they going to educate and bring up the children?”

It comes as Harry jetted off on a five-day trip to Japan and Singapore to play in a charity polo tournament, while Meghan was spotted at a Taylor Swift concert in LA.

The couple will reconcile publicly next month in Dusseldorf, Germany, at Harry’s project, the Invictus Games.

The Duke has spoken on his decision to up sticks and move to LA in recent court appearances, saying it was to “break the cycle of pain”.

In a court challenge against Mirror Group Newspapers, he spoke about his fears regarding Meghan, suggesting she could end up like his mother Princess Diana, who died in a car crash in 1997.

The couple have also accused the Royal Family and the household of failing to support Meghan during her battle against suicidal thoughts after Archie’s birth in 2019.

The Royal Family have continued to quietly sever ties with the couple, a trend further evidenced by their decision to not reference Meghan's birthday in any social media posts on 4 August.

Their official account on X, formerly known as Twitter, did not post a birthday message for the Duchess for the second year running.

Usually just working members of the monarchy are recognised on royal social media channels.

The official X account of the Prince and Princess of Wales marked Meghan’s 41st birthday last year, but there were no posts on Friday celebrating her anniversary.
