Prince Harry is “under pressure” from his wife Meghan Markle to keep his relationship with his family “for commercial reasons”, a royal expert claims

Since moving to the States, the couple has become estranged from the Royal Family, but the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to use their royal titles for both their charity work and their money-making ventures.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, royal expert and author Tom Quinn said: “Harry is under pressure to keep some sort of relationship with his family going if only for the sake of the couples’ new ventures. Harry still has vague hopes that he will be forgiven and will be offered a minor role somewhere.”

The royal expert also compared the exiled royals to Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, whose intention to marry caused a constitutional crisis that forced the King to abdicate. After marrying in France, they lived in a beautiful house but were “desperately unhappy”, Quinn said. He added: “Even Edward VIII, after the abdication, was given a few minor roles. And Harry will be aware of that.”
