Prince Harry has been left hurt and upset by recent criticism of his wife following Meghan Markle's trip to Paris.
The criticism centred on footage from Meghan's fashion week visit that inadvertently showed her vehicle near the location of Princess Diana's fatal crash.
Sources close to the Duke of Sussex disclosed that Harry feels his mother's tragic death was being used to criticise his wife.
A friend of the duke told the Mail: “Harry was left hurt and upset. Diana’s death was used as a stick to beat his wife with.
“He was left feeling hurt, but the depressing thing is he wasn’t even that surprised. He was more despondent than shocked.”
