The royal family is reportedly hurt and angry that Prince Harry continually says negative things about them in the media, a source is saying.

“The fact that there have been several additional interviews discussing family matters hasn’t helped the situation,” the source told Entertainment Tonight, adding that relations between the two parties “have been strained.”

The insider went on to say that before Harry’s tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey and his mental health docuseries “The Me You Can’t See,” “several members of the royal family reached out directly to congratulate Meghan after she and Harry announced their pregnancy.”

“The family was delighted,” the source continued. “There was real happiness for the couple especially after Meghan’s earlier miscarriage.”

On the episode of “The Me You Can’t See” that came out today, Harry talked about how to handle someone who has suicidal thoughts, which is something he claims his wife Meghan Markle had.

“So many people are afraid of being on the receiving end of that conversation because they don’t feel like they have the right tools to give the right advice,” he said. “But what you [want] to say is you’re there. Listen, because listening and being part of that conversation is without a doubt the best first step that you can take.”

“As parents, as siblings, certainly from what I’ve learned — there’s an element of shame we feel, because we’re like, ‘How could we not have seen it? How did we not know? How did you not feel comfortable enough to come to me and share that with me?'” Harry added. “But we all know when people are suffering and people are struggling, that we’re all incredibly good at covering it up for those that know that we’re covering it up.”

On last week’s episode, Harry said, “I thought my family would help, but every single ask, request, warning, whatever, it just got met with total silence, total neglect.”

“We spent four years trying to make it work. We did everything that we possibly could to stay there and carry on doing the role and doing the job. But Meghan was struggling,” he stated. “One of the biggest lessons I’ve ever learned in life is you’ve sometimes got to go back and to deal with really uncomfortable situations and to be able to process it in order to be able to heal. For me, therapy has equipped me to be able to take on anything.”

“That’s why I’m here now. That’s why my wife is here now,” Harry continued. “That feeling of being trapped within the family is … There was no option to leave. Eventually, when I made that decision for my family, I was still told you can’t do this.”
