Prince Harry has changed since marrying his free-thinking wife Meghan Markle, and a fine example of that is how they supposedly acted when they toured Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand together last October. 

While William and Harry typically host drink nights for the members of the press who accompany them, Harry and Meghan did something different: “They basically blanked the media on this tour, which is very short-sighted,” according to Duncan Larcombe, who covered the royal family for London’s The Sun for many years.

“All of Harry’s staff have always thought he was fantastic, but the two of them [together] are high maintenance,” Duncan said to The Post of the royal couple, adding that the prince has become “quite grumpy and aloof from his own inner circle of staff. Harry was always very pally with [them], so this is very unlike him. What people love about Harry is that he wears his heart on his sleeve. He’s down to earth, a normal guy trapped in the royal world, and he doesn’t take himself very seriously. But now he is.”

The reason for the change is Meghan, some royal sources have said. 

It’s been tough for the strong-willed duchess, who is expecting a baby in April, to go from controlling her own personal and professional life to not being allowed to make all her own decisions. As a result, she is allegedly taking her frustrations out on those around her, Duncan explained to The Post. 

“During their tour, just before they were about to go to the Invictus Games, Meghan was bawling at her hairdresser to get her hair right, while at the same time someone was ironing the bottom of the dress she was wearing,” he said. “As an actress, Meghan expects perfection. But when you’re in the royal family, you have to learn that it’s not about you, it’s about what you represent.”
