Prince Harry is reportedly "confused" and "heartbroken." He's apparently not sure why the royal family has cut ties with him and his wife, Meghan Markle, a source has revealed. The duo stepped down from their royal duties in 2020, and subsequently moved to the US. Since then, they've only returned to the UK a few times.
With Harry being excluded from some major royal events, his feelings as an outsider have only grown stronger. Notably, he and Meghan were not invited to the Trooping the Colour ceremony for the second consecutive year. The event is of significance as it celebrates the British monarch's birthday.
The source has also revealed that Harry is deeply affected by the ongoing rift. "He’s heartbroken and confused by the way they’ve cut him off and seemingly haven’t given it another thought," the insider shared. His afflictions were further fueled when he saw footage of Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, at the Trooping the Colour. “Harry was very upset and emotional when he saw the footage of Kate at Trooping the Colour,” the source added.

Harry's distress is also coupled with concern for Kate's health. The Princess of Wales recently revealed her cancer diagnosis. Harry, who's always been close to her, is worried. While he has managed to keep in touch, he feels the physical distance. "He would have dearly loved to have been there, if only to congratulate and support Kate in person on what must have been an incredibly difficult day for her," the source added.
“The fact he’s got to watch on TV or via the internet from 6,000 miles away just made him so sad. It really hammers home how he’s a proper outsider at this point,” the insider said.
Despite feeling estranged, Harry remains proud of his sister-in-law, and is happy to see her in apparent good health. Yet, the inability to connect with his "beloved sister-in-law" in person is a "kick in the guts."
