When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle waved goodbye to the UK and their roles as senior working royals it seemed to be them against the world. But four years down the line, a source tells new that the damaged relationship with Harry's brother, Prince William, and the fallout from various explosive interviews and books, have created a divide between the couple.

Allegedly, one of the biggest bones of contention is that Harry now lives more than 5,000 miles away from his London-based family, so the opportunities for him to repair relations, particularly with William and sister-in-law Kate, are few and far between.

"Harry has been torn about coming back to the UK as he knows Meghan won't join him for a variety of reasons, but he feels that this is something he has to do," our source claimed.

"He feels quite isolated in America at times and although he loves being over there and wouldn't want to raise his children anywhere else, he is homesick.

He misses big parts of his old life and it's not just his family, but also his friends and just being in England."

While Harry, who turns 40 this week, is said to be hankering after aspects of his old life in the UK, he's also made it very clear that he fears for Meghan's safety over here, and also for the safety of his children, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.
