Since leaving the royal fold,
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's inner circle has undergone drastic changes.
"There have been times in their marriage where it's been Meghan and Harry against the world,"
Duncan Larcombe told
The Mirror. "A clear theme from when they first met in the very beginning, has been how protective Harry is of Meghan. He's a very loyal husband — much more so than most, because Meghan gets an awful lot of negative publicity, especially online."

"We've seen Harry supporting her in court cases, and also speaking out against those people that have wronged Meghan, which in his mind has included the Princess of Wales, Catherine," Duncan Larcombe continued, referring to Harry writing about Kate and Meghan's feud in Spare. "There's also been a lot of heartbreak in their marriage, but their similar past experiences and traumas are what holds them together and makes them stronger."

Despite
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle having different upbringings, they were able to relate over a variety of experiences.
"Neither of them had an ideal upbringing by any stretch of the imagination. Both of their parents' marriages ended in divorce, and of course, Harry's mom,
Princess Diana, died shortly after that," Duncan Larcombe said. "There's trauma and heartbreak there for both of them, and that has bonded them."

"Harry, by his own admission, is a damaged person, and he has had struggles. It's hardly a surprise given his extraordinary upbringing, and his profile of being the 'partying Prince,'" Duncan Larcombe continued. "A lot has happened in Harry's life that Meghan can feel sorry for, and therefore feel like she wants to protect him and look after him too."
