Meghan Markle is ready for her husband, Prince Harry, to leave all the royal drama behind them.
A former employee of the couple’s Archewell Foundation told People the Duchess of Sussex, 42, “supports Harry 100 percent” but “wishes he could let go of these lawsuits, be happy and live in the moment.”
“She wants him to be free of all of this, but she also knows that because of everything he’s been through and his love for [her and their children], he can’t,” the insider added.
“She wants him to live in a world where he is not burdened by this.”
The Duke of Sussex, 39, has been fighting to have his and his family’s taxpayer-funded police protection detail reinstated since it was stripped from them when he and Markle quit their royal duties in 2020 and relocated to North America.
In February 2022, the “Spare” author insisted that he did not “feel safe” in the UK because his wife and kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, had “been subjected to well-documented neo-Nazi and extremist threats.”

However, in February, London’s High Court ruled that Harry and his immediate family would not be able to use tax-funded security when they travel across the pond.
The Invictus Games founder reportedly plans to appeal the decision.
A source told Pvnew that the security issue is keeping the royal from mending his relationship with his father, King Charles III, whom he believes has the power to restore it.
“King Charles can give Harry the security clearance he wants so desperately. As the monarch, he is the ultimate decision maker. That would be how father and son can reconcile,” a royal source told us last week.
Due to the lack of security, Harry believes it’s “still dangerous” to take his wife and kids to the UK.
“All it takes is one lone actor, one person who reads this stuff to act on what they have read,” he said on ITV’s documentary “Tabloids on Trial” last week.
“And whether it’s a knife or acid, whatever it is, and these are things that are of genuine concern for me. It’s one of the reasons why I won’t bring my wife back to this country.”
Harry may have taken heed to his wife’s advice to let some of the legal drama go, as he dropped his libel lawsuit against UK publisher the Mail on Sunday.
At the time a spokesperson for the dad of two told Pvnew that he wanted to focus on his security detail lawsuit.
“His focus remains there, and on the safety of his family, rather than these legal proceedings that give a continued platform to the Mail’s false claims all those years ago,” the rep told us.
Harry was initially suing the Mail on Sunday over the paper’s claims he lied about offering to pay for his own police protection in the UK.
