Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly feeling relieved as new controversy surrounding Prince Andrew has redirected public and media attention away from them, royal insiders claim. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have frequently found themselves in the spotlight since stepping back from royal duties in 2020.
Prince Harry and wife would think they are ‘not the only royals facing strife,’ per source
Royal expert Jennie Bond suggested that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are likely pleased that they are “not the only royals facing strife.” “I imagine Harry and Meghan will feel some relief that the heat is off them for the time being,” Bond told The Mirror.
Despite keeping a distance from royal affairs, Prince Harry reportedly remains close to his cousins, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie — Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s daughters. “I’m sure he feels great sympathy for them,” Bond explained.
Since stepping back from royal duties, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have faced intense scrutiny through their Netflix docuseries, public interviews, and ongoing tensions with the royal family. However, as Prince Andrew’s scandal continues to dominate headlines, experts say the Sussexes are temporarily enjoying the break.
On Thursday, October 30, 2025, the palace announced that Prince Andrew had been stripped of all royal titles, military honors, and privileges, including his right to use the title “Prince.” Officials also confirmed his eviction from the 30-room Royal Lodge on the Windsor Estate, where he had lived with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, since 2003.
Ferguson, who will no longer receive financial assistance from the royal family, is now reportedly seeking her own accommodation. Initial reports suggested Andrew might relocate to Frogmore Cottage, formerly the home of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but royal sources have since clarified that he will instead move into a private property on the Sandringham estate, funded personally by King Charles III.
