Rumors are swirling that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been banished to Africa...
From Page Six
With Meghan Markle due to give birth any day, a new report says the British royal family is scrambling to try to contain her popularity amid worries she could become “bigger than [Princess] Diana.”
And so they’ve determined to keep her and Prince Harry as far away as possible from the media and also from Prince William, after a split between the brothers and spats involving their wives.
...under consideration is Africa, where Harry set up a charity in 2006 in Botswana — where he and Meghan fell in love on a trip — and which he refers to as his “second home.”
Either way, the palace braintrust prefers for the couple to move abroad.
“In some ways it would suit William to get his brother out of the country for a few years and Meghan as far away as possible,” said one friend of the brothers.
But going off is not necessarily what Harry and Meghan want.
Indeed, they see their move from Kensington Palace to Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor estate as much an exile as an escape, the paper reported.
“Meghan and Harry feel they have been cut adrift,” one ally said.
“It’s a bit sad really,” said someone who knows both princes. “The wives don’t get on. The brothers have fallen out.”
Whatever public support there might be for Harry and Meghan, “People are telling William, ‘Don’t worry. Your influence will grow and Harry’s will fade,’ ” a source said. “This is peak Harry.”
