Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 'struggling' behind scenes, couple's spiritual guru reveals

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are said to be struggling with the royal fallout as the Duke of Sussex prepares to attend the King's Coronation alone.

That is the views of the couple's 'spiritual guru', Deepak Chopra, following Wednesday's announcement that only Harry, 38, will head to the UK for the momentous ceremony.

Meghan, 41, is set to remain stateside with the pair's two children, with eldest son Prince Archie's fourth birthday landing on the same day as the Coronation.

But it's claimed the pressure and drama surrounding their highly publicised media projects are beginning to take their toll on the couple.

Alternative medicine practitioner Deepak opened up on how he feels the events are affecting the couple and their wellbeing.

He told Daily Mail the Sussexes are "struggling" and added: "I hope they get through it light-hearted. I think there's too much drama around them - people should mind their own business."

Deepak added that it would be for the best if the pair did not address the fallout publicly as he feels doing so would bring further backlash from spectators.

"My advice is to ignore it because if you react you'll just aggravate the situation," he said. "If you ignore it, people can't say anything, then they'll stop."

Deepak's words come as couple’s biographer Omid Scobie confirmed Archie’s birthday “played a factor in the decision” that Meghan would stay in California

The scribe said he fully expects it to be a "fairly quick trip to the UK" for Harry as a royal insider revealed they think the King will be "delighted" to have his youngest son in attendance.

The source said: "The King has previously spoken of loving both his sons and that remains the case.

"Harry would have deeply regretted not attending the ceremony.

"Archie’s birthday has provided the perfect excuse for Meghan to stay behind and, with all things considered, it’s probably the right thing to do."
