The claim was made by former Royal correspondent Duncan Larcombe. Mr Larcombe alleged the pair snubbed the press while on their trip around Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand last year. The Royal expert, who wrote a biography of Prince Harry, claimed they “blanked” media during their trip, calling the move “short-sighted”.

He told The New York Post: “All of Harry’s staff have always thought he was fantastic, but the two of them together are high-maintenance.”

Mr Larcombe claimed the Prince had become “quite grumpy and aloof from his own inner circle of staff”.

He added: “He’s down to earth, a normal guy trapped in the Royal world, and he doesn’t take himself very seriously. But now he is.”

The Duchess of Sussex is said to be struggling to adjust to life in the British Royal Family, with some insiders citing her lack of control over her personal and professional life.
