Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been put under strain due to the fallout of the Duke of Sussex's autobiography Spare, according to a royal commentator.
In January, Harry released the memoir which contained several attacks on senior members of the Royal Family.
The Duke of Sussex undertook several TV interviews to promote the book, noticeably without Meghan Markle by his side.
Royal commentator Katie Nicholl has claimed that the "pretty epic" reaction to Harry's book has put pressure on the couple as friends and family have turned against him.

Nicholl told Page Six_:_ "My experience with Harry and Meghan – whenever I’ve been with them as a couple, who are very, very close – [have] a sort of spark between them that always struck me as being very authentic.
"However, there have been rumours circulating in recent months that the fallout from Spare, which is pretty epic for Prince Harry who had Britain really turned against him, his home country; he’s really not welcome here.
"[The book has] left a bad taste in people’s mouths.
"It’s further alienated him from his friends and his family and I think, inevitably, that has put a strain on them."
