Meghan Markle isn't happy with Prince Harry

Meghan Markle has become "irritated" at Prince Harry after realising he's not the "charismatic figure" she thought he was, according to one royal expert.

The Duchess of Sussex has been spotted out and about without her husband recently, enjoying a ski trip with her gal pals and dining at a swanky restaurant with a top TV executive. Royal author Tom Quinn has suggested these solo appearances come after Meghan became annoyed at Harry for "playing second fiddle" to her.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, he said the couple are going through a tough time and suggested Meghan has only just realised what Harry is really like. Tom said: "Meghan and Harry are going through a really stressful period right now.

"Meghan has realised Harry just isn’t the sort of campaigning charismatic figure, she thought he was. She would like him to do more in his own right not just as her partner."

Tom then suggested fans can expect more solo appearances from the former Suits actress. He told us: "We will see more of her attending events alone because she's realised that when Harry appears to be just tagging along and agreeing with her it is not always a good look."

The royal expert also said their relationship has started to mirror the bond Harry once had with his brother Prince William. Tom explained: "The irony is that Harry hated playing second fiddle to William and now he’s playing second fiddle to Meghan and she is getting irritated about it."

Harry joined his wife in Austin, Texas, last night and the couple enjoyed some time together on Thursday as they went out for a fancy meal at SoHo House.

According to one diner, the couple seemed to be in great spirits. "Harry was very animated throughout the dinner. They were super low key and seemed happy to be around the upbeat vibes at the lively venue," they told People magazine.

Later today, Meghan will join journalist Katie Couric, actress Brooke Shields and diversity equity and inclusion consultant at Peoplism, Nancy Wang Yuen for a talk at SXSW Festival. It has also been announced that Errin Haines, host of The Amendment podcast, will moderate the session.

The talk will focus on "how the ubiquitous nature of social media is creating an often dangerous environment which has led to serious mental health issues for teenage girls in particular," according to the festival description.
