Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly felt a deep sense of alienation from the Royal Family during Commonwealth Day five years ago, an event that highlighted growing tensions between the couple and other senior royals.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the annual gathering at Westminster Abbey alongside the rest of the Royal Family, but according to royal author Robert Lacey, the atmosphere was far from harmonious. In his book Battle of Brothers, Lacey describes the moment as one of visible strain and emotional distance between Harry and his family.
