PRINCE Harry has been “relying heavily” on Meghan Markle following their move to the US a royal insider has revealed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are now settling into their $14 million Santa Barbara home with their one-year-old son Archie.
And with the absence of his family, Harry, 36, has been turning to his wife for emotional support, says royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams.
Speaking to the Express, he said: “There is no question emotionally he appears to rely on Meghan a great deal as he has been very open on questions of mental health.”
Fitzwilliams went on to say that Meghan’s connections with America are helping the family to put down roots in their new home.
He continued: “As far as the future is concerned Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are on firmer ground.
“She understands Hollywood and they are based where she has a large number of friends and connections.”
The couple splashed out over £11.5million ($14.65m) on a beautiful mansion in the Montecito neighbourhood in Santa Barbara, California in June 2020.
The mansion comes with huge lawns, a tennis court and an outdoor swimming pool, while Meghan has held zoom video calls throughout lockdown, offering glimpses of the inside of their new home to fans.
The Sussexes are not short of star-studded company in Montecito, with a large number of famous and wealthy neighbours.
Meghan’s friend Oprah Winfrey is among those in the area, along with fellow chat show star Ellen DeGeneres.
There are enough actors to go round as well with Bruce Willis, Tom Cruise, John Cleese, John Travolta, Owen Wilson and Steve Martin nearby.
And then if Meghan, Harry or Archie want some professional sporting training and advice, they could call upon golf legend Fred Couples or tennis aces Mike Bryan and Jimmy Connors.
