The year has just started, and it is being claimed that Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have found a surprising reason to butt heads.
Since the powerful pair stepped down from their royal duties, they have been living a relatively quiet life in their California mansion with their two young children, son Archie and baby daughter Lilibet Diana.
The British prince and the former actress have not made many public appearances, but that does not mean the invitations are not pouring in.
It is claimed that Prince Harry and his spouse have been asked to attend “all the big events,” but they declined due to the ongoing pandemic and the fact of having a new baby at home.
The duo seems to have received one coveted invitation they cannot refuse.
Queen Elizabeth II‘s grandson and his activist spouse have the opportunity to attend the 2022 Oscars, but they have not been able to decide if they should go or turn it down.
According to a source who spoke to the media, Prince Harry wants to skip the awards ceremony because he does not want to run into a certain actress who brought much chagrin to him and the rest of the royals.
Prince Harry has decided to stay clear of Kristen Stewart, who has been receiving Oscar buzz for her portrayal of Princess Diana in the movie Spencer.
The royal source said that Prince Harry is “pretty appalled” with the movie. However, Meghan Markle is willing to put her husband’s discomfort aside for the chance to rub shoulders with Hollywood’s biggest names.
The insider added that Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is also desperate to reunite with a few famous friends at the glitzy Hollywood event.
Sources with ties to the Duke of Sussex told OK! US that Spencer “struck a sour note with Harry” and added: “He’s pretty appalled by the film. [Meghan and Harry] have been invited to all the big events and planned on attending the Oscars too, but they’d almost certainly come face-to-face with Stewart since she’s a lock for a best actress nomination.”
Meghan Markle has suggested that they ignore Kristen Stewart while at the fancy event.
The source went on to say: “Meghan figures they can just ignore Kristen or be briefly polite, but Harry’s not one to be fake, and his nerves are still raw. He’s actually thinking about skipping the Oscars, but Meghan really wants back into the Hollywood scene.”
While the film is critically acclaimed, royal experts and friends of Prince Harry and Prince William have revealed that it focused on a painful chapter of Princess Diana’s life.
The film covered a weekend in 1991 when Princess Diana and Prince Charles were in Sandringham for Christmas as their marriage, affairs, and bitter fightings were making headlines.
The movie claimed that the princess was in a dark place, and she attempted to end her life.
Her friends revealed that they were horrified” with the movie, according to royal expert Ingrid Seward who shared: “It hadn’t been a good year for Charles and Diana at all. Their marriage was breaking up pretty rapidly. That Christmas, she was there with Fergie. She wasn’t speaking to Charles, but she wasn’t cutting herself at that stage.”
The prince always said that whatever Meghan Markle wants, she gets.
