Meghan Markle appears to have "brainwashed" Prince Harry, according to one source.
The couple - who now reside in California with their two children - have been married since 2018. Their whirlwind romance began just two years prior to their special day.
Speaking of Harry's Invictus Games - which has often been described by experts as his "best work" - a source has told Radar Online that Harry appears lost once the project is over - until the next one rolls around.
They said: "When it's over, it leaves a void, and this year was no exception." The latest Games took place just last month in Canada. Ever the supportive wife, Meghan even joined her husband in Canada for the first few days - before flying home to their children.
Speaking of the couple's level of PDA after seven years of marriage, they added: "She seems to have him under her spell. Some might even go so far as to say it’s like he's brainwashed."

The banknote, which feature a portrait of the late Queen Elizabeth II since 1992, is set to be redesigned to reflect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s connection to country and the overturning of terra nullius.

Meghan Markle's Netflix show has helped boost tourism according to new data
Meghan Markle’s new show may have received plenty of criticism, but new research shows the cooking series has given a much-needed boost to tourism in the local area.
While not filmed at Meghan and Prince Harry’s own sprawling Montecito home, the show was instead filmed at another abode just down the road in the same neighbourhood - a place the couple have called home since quitting royal life in 2022. This has generated a huge swell of interest in the area, giving it an unexpected tourism boost.
Samuel Jefferies, Senior Growth Marketing Manager at Bókun, said that since the release of Meghan’s series, there have been 424,000 searches online in the past month for Montecito. As well as this, searches for ‘Montecito hotels’ have reported surged, with a 354 % increase in the past month.

Prince Harry's visa documents released
Prince Harry's visa documents have been released as the Duke of Sussex faces calls to be deported from the US.
The heavily redacted court documents were released on Tuesday after Judge Carl Nichols previously ruled that some of the visa documents should be made public. As reported by The US Sun, the heavily redacted court documents read: "Plaintiffs allege that the records should be disclosed as public confidence in the government would suffer or to establish whether the Duke was granted preferential treatment.
"This speculation by Plaintiffs does not point to any evidence of government misconduct. The records, as explained above, do not support such an allegation but show the regulatory process involved in reviewing and granting immigration benefits, which was done in compliance with the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1103 and applicable rules and regulation."

Real reason Meghan Markle did not go to Balmoral on day of late Queen's death
Meghan Markle was reportedly asked by King Charles to "stay away" from the late Queen Elizabeth II's deathbed for one major reason.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had travelled to the UK for work commitments just days before the late monarch passed away on September 8, 2022.

Princess Charlotte's favourite snack
Despite being one of the most famous children in the world, Princess Charlotte’s life behind closed doors is not too dissimilar from other nine-year-olds.
From cooking at home with her siblings to ballet classes and sports matches, the young princess is being brought up in a way that is much more ordinary than some may believe.
However, while her hobbies and interests may be very similar to others the same age, her favourite snack is not necessarily typical of a nine-year-old. While many children may love crisps and chocolate, Princess Kate once revealed that her daughter Charlotte instead loves to snack on olives. This was revealed by Princess Kate in 2019.

During a recent candid chat, the Princess of Wales said that she hoped to take her children - Prince George, 11, and 9-year-old Princess Charlotte and Louis - to either Australia or New Zealand.

Prince William could be set for another important role
Prince William could be set to take on another important role in his life after his close friend announced he is expecting a child with his wife. The Prince of Wales, 42, could become godfather to his close friend the Duke of Westminster's first child, which is due this summer.
This comes after William’s friend Hugh Grosvenor and his wife Olivia Henson announced they are expecting a baby. This is likely to have been met with much delight by William, who has shared a long and happy friendship with Hugh. This was shown last year when the future King took on the role of usher at Hugh's wedding in Cheshire.
