Prince Harry Wants To Protect Meghan Markle From Press For This Reason

Prince Harry is determined to keep Meghan Markle from the press.

It has been reported that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex won't be back in the spotlight until September. The couple is reportedly enjoying their time together privately in Cotswolds and wanted to take a break from the media.

According to Town & Country, the duke is uncomfortable with the press' obsession with their lives. "[Harry] worries there is too much hysteria around Meghan and he wants to row back a bit," a source told Kate Nicholl (via Town & Country).

Duncan Larcombe already said earlier that Prince Harry has a less-than-cordial relationship with the press compared to his older brother, Prince William. The Duke of Sussex reportedly blamed the media for Princess Diana's death.

"In Harry’s mind, it was the press that killed his mother. I know that because he's told me that several times privately," Larcombe wrote.

Prince Harry didn't hide his disappointment with the media. In fact, during the late Princess of Wales' 20th death anniversary, he spoke about this issue again.

"I think one of the hardest things to come to terms with is the fact that the people that chased her into the tunnel were the same people that were taking photographs of her while she was still dying on the back seat of the car," Prince Harry told BBC in 2017. "She had quite a severe head injury but she was very much still alive on the back seat. And those people that caused the accident, instead of helping, they were taking photographs on the back seat, and then those photographs made their way back to news desks."

Prince Harry and Markle snubbed the media during their royal wedding. Both knew that the world is waiting for the said event, but instead of making it open for the press, they only invited one reporter and four photojournalists.

At the time, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are are enjoying their private time together in a farmhouse cottage they leased on Great Tew. According to a source, the couple is keen on keeping things private.

"It's very clear they want to be private and left alone," one local said. "The property is in the middle of woodland and you wouldn't know it was there. It is very remote which is why they like it. It's like a fortress. There's a huge security presence, you can't get close."
