Less than a year on their marriage, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have found themselves on the receiving end of much less flattering coverage as they prepare for the birth of their first child this spring. The front page headline on Britains biggest-selling newspaper the Sun said on Thursday was: "Frown Jewels: Meghan is banned by Queen from using Diana gems." The title headed a story that claimed the monarch had banning Meghan from wearing royal jewelry, a sign of growing tensions with Harrys wife. Last month, the Daily Express also headlined "Meghan Markle pretty difficult person to deal with – Harry is Miserable." There have been numerous reports of excessive demands the new duchess has made of staff and of rifts between Meghan and Harry and his elder brother William and his wife Kate. Meghan herself said she avoided newspapers or Twitter. "I don’t read anything, its much safer that way," she told a panel discussion at Kings College London in March. But in January, People magazine said five of Meghans close friends had broken their silence to speak about the "lies and untruths" and "global bullying" the duchess had suffered and their fears about how this would affect her and her baby. There is no doubting the enduring, global fascination with the British royals. Last week, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as Harry and Meghan are officially known, launched their first Instagram account. Two days later, it had 3.4 million followers. The first public acknowledgment that Harry and Meghan were dating in November 2016 came in a statement criticizing the media for intruding into his then girlfriends private life. It was indicative of how Harry views the media which he blames for the death of his mother, Princess Diana.
